I wanted to share incase anyone else might be in a similar situation. I transferred over from another Caribbean medical school, got my first semester free and online from home to make for ease of transition. I tried to post the flyer, but I’m not sure how to post photos here, as it isn’t...

Hello SDN! Sorry if this question has been asked before. By the time I apply for my first cycle next year, I will have completed 1 year of my MPH in Epidemiology at Emory. However, I'm curious how much weight is placed on the MPH GPA as compared to my undergrad GPA (cGPA = 3.88, sGPA ~ 3.82)...

I'd love to start a thread to see what school everyone has decided on! I haven't made a final decision yet but I will choose between WashU and Columbia in the coming weeks :)

Hi, I got accepted to both and still unsure where to attend. Does anyone know the exact cost difference between the two programs and experience with the in-person commitments? Also, does anyone know the orientation date(s) for LECOM this year for the distance program? And please no negative...

Hi All, I am a rising Junior and I need to decide whether I want to do a BA or BS in biology soon. My main problem with doing a BS in Biology is that it requires too many Science electives and this might lower my GPA. If I do a BA I can take other easier non science electives and pad my GPA...

Since the Supreme Court will likely rule in favor striking down race based admissions, how would med schools be able to use diversity essays? If a student were to voluntarily mention their background as a minority, would med schools still be able to take that into consideration despite not being...

My school (UG) offers a 1 quarter biochem course which isn't as hard as the 2 quarter series biochem. I'm not confident in my ability to get an A in the series offering. The thing is, some dental schools ask for just 4 credits (1 quarter), while some ask for "Half-year". I don't know if 1...

Hey all! I’m applying to a mix of OTD and MSOT programs in the Philadelphia area…. So far I have heard back from most programs to say that my application was under review (Stockton, Jefferson, Widener, Salus), who all emailed me around the week of 11/18 to tell me my application was under review...

I'm just curious. Let's say you are taking a full-time schedule for fall quarter/semester, how do you setup interviews with schools? Let's say your interview day or days fall on days you have exams, how would that work? I know that there are a lot of professors that would not let students change...

For a while, I wanted to go to med school or PA school, but over the past year, I decided it wasn't for me. I didn't do research in undergrad, as the only research that ever interested me was psychology-based, and the more experienced psych students often took those. I did an independent study...

Hello, has anyone gotten accepted to the University of Saint Augustine MOT 2023 Spring in Austin

Stats: 21 AA, 21 TS, 19 PAT, 3.93 sGPA, 3.97 GPA I applied to 7 schools, interviewed at 3, and was accepted to 1 school this cycle. That school is the super expensive one that you all know what I'm talking about and I know I'm not the first person to be in this position of only getting into...

Hello! I'm hoping I have found some fellow applicants that are just as anxious as I am! I was notified that I had been put on the waitlist for the UW - Seattle incoming 2022 OT class. In the email, it said waitlist alternates would be informed as spots opened after March 28th. They expect to...

During my Sophomore year 2019, in lapse of judgment based on a dare, l regrettably stole a jacket from my university bookstore and was caught. I didn't even like the jacket. It was less than $100, so I received a non-academic theft IA as I was protected by the university (as opposed to legal...

Hi everyone, I interviewed with Pacific University (Oregon) about a month ago and was recently told I’m on the 1st tier waitlist. I am wondering if anyone knows how the tiers work (how many people are in the tiers etc). Also, does anyone know when the deposit is due for accepted students?

So my story is like this. School A interviews me and offers me a position on the waitlist in October 2021, I graciously accept and shortly after send them a letter of interest. Time passes by and I hear back from other schools. At this time, School A is my first choice and I want to let them...

Recently, I received an IA for being intoxicated and walking into the wrong room on my residence hall floor. I was given disciplinary probation for 2 months.

Hello! I’m worried about taking 3 gap years instead of the 2 gap years that I planned on. I already finished my first gap year. I have an ok GPA (3.8), great ECs, great research, poor clinical hours (40 hrs), and I have not taken the MCAT yet. It’s scheduled for this June, but I will most...
