Being rejected is painful. Especially when you’ve put so much money, time, and effort into compiling your application. But if you weren’t accepted, the simple fact is that something was off with your application. Rather than shooting blindly and guessing at what might have made the adcom pass...

One of the most frustrating aspects of the pharmacy school interview process is the MMI's it seems to be VERY AMBIGUOUS in terms of what they ask and the parameters within which one can answer them. So my question is this: what do they want to hear? Do they want us to answer the scenario within...

Hi I graduated with a BA in Psych 2 years ago and since then I've been working in clinical settings. I've decided a PhD in Clinical Psychology is the right path for me but I didn't establish the strong research background back in my undergrad days. I earned a 3.85 GPA and my GRE scores are...

I applied to my IS vet school and was denied. They do not take GPA into account aside from having above a 3.0 GPA. I have veterinary and animal experience, but I guess not enough. I have a high GPA, and in the next cycle would like to apply to vet schools that are more likely to accept me. What...

Not sure if this is the right place for my question. But, I'm a [kinda] career-changer who'd like some opinions from med schools on what classes I should take/re-take to strengthen my application. Who is it that I would contact for this? Should I just contact an admissions advisor at school x...
