admissions

Hey everyone. I recently interviewed at West Virginia University on 1/5. I haven't seen any threads regarding WVU so I figured I would start one. Has anyone else interviewed here? What did you think of the program? Also, do you know approximately when we are supposed to hear back about an...

So, I am getting married in June of 2019, and plan on applying to dental schools in July. I plan on taking my fiancé's last name, so I was concerned about how the name change process will affect my admissions. My letters of recommendation have my maiden name, so will admissions be suspicious if...

CONGRATS to everyone that was accepted and is committed to Rutgers South's DPT Program! There were no FB pages that were made yet and past students created their own, sooo here ya go lol It'd be much easier to get to know each other or just get a feel of who'll be in our class and share info...

Hey, I realize that this topic has already been beaten to death, but I just want to ask some questions specific to my situation. Please excuse my wordiness and grammar in advance. I’m a current high school junior and am exploring college options. I come from a fairly well to do family (I am not...

I recently got invited to my first PsyD interview (hopefully more to come) and I'd really love to hear about other peoples' interview experiences. I applied to some PhD programs last year and had a few interviews, but I was living abroad at the time doing a masters and had to do them over...

I will start here by saying that this is going to be quite long. This is my first post, and I made this account mainly just for this. I am putting my story and my journey through undergrad out there, and I hope you all will read this and bear with me. Please, help me out and qualm my fears of...

Hi all premed students I am a PGY-5 Radiologist in the NJ/NY area who has been conducting interviews for medical school admissions for the past 3 years. After approximately 100 interviews, there are many applicants i wish i could have coached before they came for their interview. I would...

Hi all, I'm new to this site but I wanted to know my chances of getting into either D'Youville, Binghamton, orthe univeristy at buffalo's schools of pharmacy. I'm currently in my senior year of my Molecular Biology B.S. at the university at buffalo with a 3.0 gpa (2.7 cumulative) and my math...

Hello! I recently switched to a B.A in biology due to my hours accumulated in Spanish and because I have interest in taking some business courses and this would allow for it. I currently have a 3.45 GPA and will be taking the OAT this summer and start applying. I was wondering if there's any...

I’d really appreciate some honesty because I’m already feeling very discouraged. I am currently a sophomore in college and I’m really struggling to keep my grades up. I’ve already received two 2.0s (Cs) in my required math classes and a 1.5 (CD) in chemistry my freshman year. I will retake...

Will having a letter of recommendation from a clinical professor at a medical school help me get an interview or improve my admissions chances? Long story short I did some shadowing under a physician alongside M3s doing their family practice rotation. The physician has been teaching clinical...

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 -...

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...
