admissions

I transferred from CC with 3.67 GPA to UCLA and there my grades collapsed and I went through depression anxiety and was diagnosed with Graves disease. I entered UCLA 2010 and graduated in 2015 after I was diagnosed my grades improved for like 7 classes ending with with A's and B's. Now I'm...

I found this research study shared on facebook earlier today and I'm not sure if I feel like the data is obvious or if I should feel surprised. I know most of my friends want to go to med school because of money so I guess that part is not surprising but some parts of it did surprise me, and I...

As I'm scrolling through pre-med reqs now it would seem some medical schools require statistics, but prefer biostatistics. I am enrolled to take elementary statistics next semester, and this statistics course specifically geared towards students who will later pursue graduate school in the...

A quick tip on the RC section of the DAT: Search and Destroy Paragraphs are numbered, therefore: –As you quickly skim the passage, write down a brief (1-4 words) summary and keywords of each paragraph. –The list you make should help you quickly find the answer to each question by identifying...

I have received several follow-up emails to notify my that they are looking at my application but haven't heard anything since. Has anyone been accepted or heard anything else at all? Just trying to get an idea of how their rolling admissions process works and if I still have a chance.

Hey everyone! I didn't see a thread for the Class of 2022, so I figured I'd post one. I've been accepted and am looking forward to meeting everyone else soon. Feel free to post here any questions you have about the admissions process, interviews, campus etc.

I dropped out of HS halfway through my senior year, got my GED, then went straight to 4 year university for mechanical engineering (looking back I have no idea why). I did horrible and wasn't smart enough at the time to officially withdraw (lots of F's on my transcript). Then I went to a...

Hi Guys, I had an odd situation with USC that I wanted to share for everyone now and for future students applying there. I noticed yesterday that a lot of students were hearing about decisions and was curious why I hadn't received an e-mail yet. I e-mailed the program and received an e-mail...

Hi! Currently a senior in undergrad and feeling anxious about DPT applications. I've decided to take a gap year after I graduate to focus on applications without worrying about trying to complete undergrad classes at the same time, and to be able to travel/volunteer internationally. I'm trying...

Many dental schools recommend taking A&P, so I decided to register for "Human A&P". My college also offers Physiology by itself (not Anatomy however) but its an upper level biology course so I thought that Human A&P would suffice for dental schools. I still have time to take it off my schedule...

I'm a non-traditional potential medical school student who really needs advice in terms of process in applying and realistic chances at various schools. Background: I graduated from a top 20 undergrad in 2012 with majors in political science, spanish, and biosciences. Throughout my time as an...

Hi all, I was wondering what my chances at dental schools in NYC are and any comments will be appreciated. Please be straightforward. So I messed up early in UG due to numerous problems. I finally decided to pursue dentistry in my final year and that's when I changed my major from chemistry...

Hey all! Is it easier to get accepted into an international school(outside of the states) if you are from the states? I am not referring to schools like Ross and St. George, I am referring to schools outside of the Caribbean schools. Like University of Sydney, University of Edinburgh, etc. I...

I applied to Ohio State for physical therapy and have received emails to complete their supplemental application. I completed that and then received an email asking me to activate my Ohio State User ID. My guess is that they do this for everyone, but I just wanted to check. Does anyone know the...

Hi everyone, I recently got into the University of Michigan Flint DPT program! I was wondering if anyone else was accepted or applied?

hello- I understand to apply for schools most of them will look at science/ science + math gpa which tends to include the bio/chem/physics/A+P as well as any/all math courses I was wondering that if I take a "science" course during my winter break to possibly boost my gpa (and hopefully boost...

I have decided to relay my experience with USF CoP to potential students and list reasons for not going to this institution. 1.) Projects that have nothing to do with clinical decisions. Most of these projects include making ridiculously themed videos that have maybe 10 seconds of valuable...

This interview premieres the Tutor the People Interview Series (TTP IS). Throughout the TTP IS, we’ll chat with people from all walks of life within the medical field: doctors, medical students, pre-meds, advisors, and more. Today we’re speaking with Lindsay, an MS1 at the Medical University of...

Hi everyone, I'm new to SDN but needed some answers so thank you in advance! I'll forego the passion and interest portion of why I want to go to medical school but I understand a lot of variables, issues, and responsibilities go along with that. My path has led me to wanting to be a doctor and...

Hi all, I am a 3rd year student planning to apply to U of A for Sept 2018 and I have consistently been taking a full course load (five 3-credit courses per semester). However, this year, I am looking to take a different combination of courses. Over the entire year, I will be taking eight...

Applying to MD/PhD programs this cycle (2017-2018). Applied to 22 schools, mostly MSTP. In retrospect maybe should have applied more broadly. 10 secondaries submitted in July and 12 submitted in August. Haven't received any interviews yet. Considering adding some non MSTP schools to my AMCAS...

Hi everyone! I'm new to SDN, and I tried my best to look up potential solutions and advice via past threads, but in the end I still want to write a post of my own. I'm currently enrolled in a very tedious and time-consuming intro physics course (mechanics) for which I have AP credit. I also...

I haven't seen anything around about UH Hilo lately and I was wondering if anyone else plans on applying to this school or has already applied and are waiting for an invite? And maybe stats?

Math is not my area. It never has been. Obviously I know I'll need to be proficient enough to succeed in physics, chem, and two semesters of "college level math" in order to get into most med schools; but I'm honestly not 100% clear on what qualifies as "college level". College algebra? Pre...

Hello, I'm applying for Winter 2018 and Summer 2018 enrollment for University of St. Augustine, San Marcos. I took my GRE today, and I'm not happy with my score. I am definitely retaking the test next month for a higher score, but these are my stats as we speak: Pre-Requisite GPA: 3.63...

Long story short, I've been accepted to a professional pharmacy program. I've completed all my pre-reqs. But at the end of last semester, I stupid mistake I made a long time ago caught up with me and I left my undergraduate institution in bad standing. I can't find any specific wordings in my...

Dear members of the SDN community, I am an internist with over three decades of experience on medical school admissions committees. As I am recently retired from this particular duty I can speak freely here, and give some insight into the workings of affirmative action among those of us who...

A little confused and would like some clarity after reading some threads! So, say you hold 2 acceptances in October, but then your dream school offers an invitation; of course, you're going to want to take that chance and go for the interview, even with the two acceptances. Question is, many...

Hello all ! So I was originally planning on doing a PhD program (microbiology) once I graduated. I have since graduated and while I was volunteering in a hospital in my down time, I had the privilege of shadowing a doctor that has both his MD and PhD. So I was able to go and see his lab work and...

URGENT! I NEED TO CHOOSE CLASSES VERY SOON- please help:) I'm going into my junior year of high school. There is a class called Advanced Problems in Science where you spend the whole year working on and publishing an in-depth science project. Doing really well on your project can get you...

UPDATE: Thanks for everyone's help so far. I can't express my appreciation of how thorough and prompt people's replies have been. I was able to obtain the match lists for Sinai, and it seems they do place decently into pretty much everything. There is definitely a heavy coastal bias to the...

I know there are a bunch of questions regarding residency for moving and such. I was wondering, specifically for medical school admissions committees evaluating you in an in-state applicant pool solely for the purposes of deciding to admit you, do you need to have the typical 12 months living in...

I am the co-owner of a social media agency, although it's in its infancy (5 months), we've partnered up with some experts in multiple platforms and are well on our way to success. I apply MD this year and my partner will receive a large portion of the equity I hold once I leave to medical...

Hi everyone. I have recently found an interest in epidemiology after having spent the last few years pursuing a degree/career in neuroscience. Naturally, I am not completely familiar with admissions standards for PH schools, so I'd like some advice on how to better my application/prepare myself...
