admissions

Has anyone heard back from MGHIHP? I know they only do interviews for early decision applicants, but they hold an invitational open house in December for regular decision applicants. I'm still waiting to hear back and was wondering if anyone else heard anything. Thanks and best of luck! :)

Has anyone heard from Rosalind Franklin University? I submitted regular decision on 9/12 and received notification on 9/26 that my application file was complete and would be forwarded to be reviewed. I received an email yesterday 10/24 that included: "This is a courtesy notification to make you...

Hey Everyone, I was googling in search of finding any forums talking about the acceptance process for UM DPT and came across a thread from last years students that shared who had already been contacted, accepted, and also wait listed. I figured it would be a good idea to do the same here. I...

So I have 2 from MD's (one whom I've shadowed and the other who knows me super well for a long time), a DO whom I have shadowed, my Oral Communications professor who specializes in Medical Communication, and two of my Chemistry profs who know me very well. If 6 is too many, who should I leave out?

Hi all! I was fortunate enough to receive my first II the other day. In previous years, I know that an II held a good amount of weight and it meant the school was serious about you. Is this any different this year due to the new traffic rules? This may seem like a silly question, but I am a...

I'm currently majoring in chemistry and wanted to possibly add a human bio major. The credits align very well and I'll still graduate on time. What major GPA would dental schools look at? or would they look at both? also does it look better having another major?

Currently I am a junior in school but I will have an additional year due to athletics. I plan on having a biology major with psych and business minors. I have around a 3.1 GPA at the moment and am really focusing on course work to increase that GPA. I am an NCAA division 1 athlete and work as a...

Non traditional MD/PhD applicant coming from a BS/MS program in bioengineering. I did 2 years of undergrad/grad research I’m the same lab resulting in some abstracts and posters. Then I got a job as an R&D engineer at a ****ty medical device start up (part of my motivation for applying to...

For the personal statement, does anyone know if it would be of value to include an opening paragraph introducing myself at all?

Hi everyone! So with the 2019 application cycle behind us... Those of us with iffy stats probably are formulating a "plan b" if we get that rejection letter in February. What is everyone's plan if they don't get in this cycle? This was my first time applying and I am preparing myself (I know...

I am currently applying to premed post-baccalaureate programs. In doing so, I have noticed there is often information available on GPA minimums, but rarely minimum or recommended GRE, ACT/SAT scores. My ACT score was lame so I am taking the GRE. So far, Quant = 34th percentile, Verbal = 73rd...

Hello, my current number one school choice is UHCO and I am trying to get into this cycle, but not sure about my stats. My GPA is really low 3.08, but hopefully by the time I graduate it will be almost a 3.2 I just took my OAT scores yesterday and did really well on the science section, but I...

**REMOVED AT REQUEST OF OP**

so to begin, I do not want to take a gap year. am firmly against the idea if I do not have to. in terms of research/EC's I believe I am a pretty strong applicant with 3.9+/hopefully will receive a good MCAT score, taking in Jan. I am a little worried about physician shadowing and clinical...

May be a stupid question, but does the usual required letter of evaluation for dental schools have to be from a general dentist, or could it be from someone such as an oral surgeon with a DMD degree?

I'm interviewing for a spot on my school's admissions committee. I have no idea what kind of questions I will be asked. I would appreciate any advice on the types of questions if anyone has been through this in the past. Thanks!

My gpa currently is overall 3.63, sGPA: 3.64. (PS: I am also only an upcoming junior in undergrad currently and hopefully will be able to pull my GPA to about a 3.7 before I apply next year) DAT scores from today: - PAT: 20 - QR: 16 - RC: 26 - Bio: 24 -...

Hello! So for the stats: 510 MCAT, 125 C/P, 129 CARS, 128 B/B, 128 P/S 3.7 cGPA but not sure what my science GPA is. Probably 3.55-ish I'm white, female and grew up in both rural and semi-rural communities in Wyoming. By the time I graduate I'll have over 1600 hours of research, 70 hours of...

Hi everyone! I still have two years before I apply but I am already considering focusing on schools that don't require the GRE. I am horrible at math and I am afraid that if I can't score high enough, it will hinder my chances of admission. However, I understand that not taking the GRE greatly...

I didn't see a thread for this upcoming application cycle so I thought I would start one! I am applying early decision to University of Texas at Austin for the 2019 entering class. Let's see if we can support one another through this long and tedious application process and hopefully get to know...

Okay, so I'm a rising Junior pre-med/Chemistry student at a small liberal arts school in Georgia, and I currently have a 3.25 GPA. I have that because I had over-involved myself with extracurricular activities; therefore, I dropped some of my extracurriculars to get more serious about my...

I'm going into my second year of undergrad and I am looking into US DO schools. In Canada, we only have MD schools but internationally educated DOs can still practice in Canada. I am considering studying in the US because I like the ideas behind being a DO more than a MD. In Canada, most MD...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum! I am pre-vet and looking at a few schools. I am not too far into my undergrad to really give an accurate GPA and haven't taken my GRE. But it is currently above 3.6 and I hope to graduate at that or higher, and hopefully will have around there for the science...

Lol, pun. I am currently a cell and molecular biology major. My school offers a biomedical science major as well. In my current major, I am required to take biotechnology, nucleic acids lab, bioinformatics, and genomics, and courses along those lines as well as the biomedical sciences courses...

I want to apply to PhD programs in public health but I don't have a master's degree and am worried about my undergrad grades. I have a bachelor's in nursing and Spanish with 9 years experience as an RN (6 years clinical, 3 years in health education and program planning). I had a 3.5 undergrad...

I'm struggling with the topic of my optional essay and would love to hear everyone's input on it! I've heard mixed opinions about using the optional essay to write about GPA. I understand that you don't want to highlight the "zit" of the application. But here's my situation: I didn't do so great...

Asked a question before digging into old posts. My bad!

Do med schools consider where their students want to practice medicine in the admissions process? My school adviser told me to make sure I focus on wanting to practice in the US since I talked a lot about my international experience in my PS, so I'm aware of that. But I also read an off-hand...

I am currently in a 7 year accelerated dual admissions dental program but have the ability to apply out to other dental schools without losing my spot at my home institution. Would it be beneficial to include my dual admissions program on my AADSAS application or would it look better to leave it...

Looking to apply to med school (hopefully next cycle) and am very interested in becoming an MD. that being said, i am also interested in the healthcare business as a whole and would like to be involved in biotech/healthcare venture capital/private equity in the future potentially. How would med...

Hi everyone, I'm pretty desperate to get some firsthand accounts from people who have gone through the PsyD programs at Pacific University in Oregon and Roosevelt University in Chicago. Both programs offer a neuropsychology track, which is what I'm truly interested in and why I've focused on...

I know there's so many questions like this out there already, but I've been seriously stressing and I'm hopng this tread will either ease my anxieties or point me in a realistic right direction so that I'm not just worrying aimlessly. Currently have a pretty crappy GPA at a 3.24 and I screwed...

I'm in the process of reapplying to dental school and I'm wondering what exactly schools want in an "updated" letter of recommendation. Other than asking the writers to update the date, what exactly would be the best way to approach this?

I'm a 22 yr old female, non-URM, PA resident, looking to apply to med school this summer to start in Fall of 2019. My college GPA is 3.41, science GPA is 3.56, and I'm planning to take the MCAT in early September (studying all summer). I've been a TA for General Biology classes for one year...

I currently a student at UMD College Park, Neurobiology &. physiology major. I have a 3.1 GPA, 75 PCAT, honors college student, and I work as a research specialist in a lab. I was wondering if I even have a chance applying to early decision at UMB Pharmacy School- considering I have no pharmacy...

Hello all, I'm a 25 y/o new grad, practicing as a physical therapist for about six months now. I have had inklings of urges to look into pursuing medical school following PT school for about a year now after my rotation at a hospital. I looked up to the physicians, admiring their knowledge and...
