admissions

Hi everyone, I used to have a very nice excel sheet with all the dental schools (in the US), their average DAT, and GPA scores, price, and required prerequisites. Unfortunately, I lost my entire computer to some red wine (the motherboard won't even spin) and along with everything else, I lost...

I just had an interview for the MSOT program at Dominican University over the long weekend, and am hoping to start a thread to find out about admissions decisions! I know that they have finished all the interviews and so it will only be a matter of time before they send out their notifications...

Hi! I'm a Harvard graduate (2013) who was accepted to schools like UPenn, Tufts, and UCLA for dental school. Together with a few of my friends in grad school, we decided to create Ivy Academy Consulting, which provides admissions consulting, essay editing, tutoring (MCAT and DAT) and interview...

Recently, I wrote a letter of interest to one of the schools I'm applying to. I haven't received an email about it in weeks. When I called the admissions office, the girl who answered sounded annoyed and unenthusiastic. She then informed me that it would be added to the file but I still haven't...

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone interviewed here recently and has heard back from the school yet? I know we have until the 3rd, but I'm just so nervous/anxious to hear anything. I interviewed last Friday, January 20th.

As far as I'm aware, if you get an acceptance to a pharmacy school, there is usually a request for a fee to hold your place in the class that will go towards your fall tuition; if you don't reply within a certain amount of time, your place in the class is forfeited and goes to someone else. Is...

Need some clarification for a neurotic pre med. I graduated in May 2015 and have just completed one semester of organic lab (paid 600$ out of pocket), which most schools have as an admission requirement/recommendation. However, the school which I took the lab at splits up Orgo lab into a year...

My overall GPA is a 3.2, science is a 3.0, DAT will be taken in Spring and I am projecting at about a 21. My resume is what I am most proud of, I have a ton of research, a good amount of shadowing (both general and specialties), and I have a good amount of volunteering as well. I am most...

Anyone who interviewed there have any tips or know how the interview goes?

Hi guys, I just want some advice from people here that may be more familiar with the ins and outs of the application process. I have a 3.9 GPA from an American university and a 520 MCAT. Multiple publications , clinical experience at Hopkins , and good LOR's from rather well known professors...

I am a first year and I just finished my second quarter of college, having started a quarter early over the summer. My GPA is currently a 3.68 with 23 units so far. I know I can do better next quarter; I tried my best this quarter but I am learning how to study more efficiently and I can feel...

I started this thread to discuss those who hold multiple seats before committing to one school. If you can post what schools you are holding a seat and reason. In addition if you are interviewing soon at a school you would drop your current acceptance to, please share. PLEASE do not be specific...

Hey, SND Fam, I'm new to the website and I finally figured out how to post a new thread. I have posted these questions elsewhere and have gotten some stellar responses and advice. I deleted most of my posts but the responses are still up. I'm still seeking advice and I hope that this helps...

Hey all, Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions about which school to choose between UCLA/UoP/LLU? I'm leaning towards UCLA because of the tuition and proximity to home, but I loved both UoP and LLU's atmospheres and professionalism. I'm planning on going into general dentistry, so specializing...

Hey, Is true that medical schools prefer traditional classes over online courses? Some of the schools that I have been looking said that they don’t accept online courses. I don’t know if this is an academic integrity thing or just preference. I like online classes, I don’t have to worry about...

I know this question gets asked alot but i've been feeling in the dumps lately. I am a senior at UConn and am having sort of a crappy semester. That may be due to many different factors but bottom line is im not doing as well as i would of wanted to. I currently have a 3.67 GPA, and well this...

Hi all, I am currently a junior in college, and my advisor for human biology didn't really know anything about the optometry admissions process and confused me on when I should apply / if it's too late for me to apply and get in for the Fall of 2018? I went to a meeting last week and heard...

Hi everyone so I was just wondering if its okay to claim AP lab credit for chemistry (I am taking the actual general chemistry courses). I'm from Texas and from looking at the Texas medical schools prerequisites, they do accept AP credit. However, when I ask my advisers if I should claim credit...

Hello! I was recently invited to interview for the Thomas Jefferson Master's of Occupational Therapy program but I do not know much about the school's specifics. If there are any TJU students out there who could answer some questions I would GREATLY appreciate it! For instance, How are the...

Hello! So I am having a bit of anxiety so maybe someone can give me some advice. I had no idea what I wanted to do my first two years of college and kind of hopped around to three different schools. I will be finally graduating in May with a BS in AT and have worked my butt off the past four...

Like the title says I didn't do so great on the PAT. Here are my scores: RC: 22 - 74th percentile Bio: 24 - 89th percentile GC: 23 - 92nd percentile PAT: 17 - 24th percentile TS: 23 - 92nd percentile AA: 23 - 90th percentile I was wondering if anyone thinks there is a point in applying to...

GPA: 3.8 I recently received an IA for cheating on an exam and there is a possibility that I will be hit with an academic probation (IA) or a written warning (does not go anywhere). My grades and service and leadership have been stellar until the beginning of this semester, when I faced a...

Hello All, So I am a Pre-Pharmacy student, and I understand and acknowledge all the talk about the oversaturated job market. I don't want to talk about that though - Pharmacy is what I want to do and I am going to give it my all (I always put this disclaimer in some way since there are various...

I was enrolled into my prerequisites while in college and I had a lot of life events and health concerns that almost lead me to flunk out of school so my GPA fell to the floor, so I finished college doing business and Spanish so I can hurry up & graduate, I was depending on my parents and low on...

Hello Everyone, So I am a current undergrad (Freshman) , who also brought in a couple of AP/IB credits which have counted towards my Pre-Pharmacy requirments. I am confident that I want to be a Pharmacist, and I can't see myself doing anything else. Disclaimer: I am aware of the current job...

I have a problem. I'm an Arkansas student, but a Texas resident. I'm applying for medical school this summer. However, my premedical advisory committee works to get people into Arkansas medical schools, so they do not make my premedical committee letter until October (Arkansas medical schools do...

Hi everyone, Right now I'm in between PA and MD. My main reason of choosing it is because I know I love surgery. I am 24 years old, still have NOT taken these pre requisites: 1 year of Ochem 1 year of Calculus (some schools require one semester?) 1 year of Physics Bio 2, and Biochem My overall...

Hi everyone! This is my first time posting in the forum, but I really want some advice on my situation. I am currently a senior at my college. My cGPA is 3.1 and my sGPA is probably somewhere between 2.9-3.0 (I haven't properly calculated yet). My DAT scores are 21AA (19 bio, 21 GC, 21, OC, 21...

I have spoken with admissions reps at top 10 med schools... Your undergrad GPA and MCAT are what matter. Not everyone gets a PhD so they can't judge your GPA for that across the board. How in the heck can anyone evaluate someone who has a PhD in physics from MIT with a 3.0 vs. a 4.0 MPP from...

Please advise me - especially current medical students at top 25 schools My undergraduate gpa at University of Chicago was 3.7/4.0 and I was a National Rhodes Scholar Finalist (triple major - social sciences) Graduate gpa @ public health school (think Yale) was 2.6/4.0... I got ill throughout...

Hi, So I submitted my secondaries before I started reading SDN. I mentioned my struggle with depression on several of my secondaries to explain a drop in my GPA. After reading some posts about this, I regret disclosing this information. I have received IIs from 5 schools, some of which I...

Every year gaining admission into the school of your choice (med, dental, pharm, etc) is getting harder so you need to go the extra step in order to make your application "pop" and stand out. Admissions committees read thousands of essays from very competitive applicants every year so it's very...

I'm a NY resident and applied this year to Stonybrook (among other schools). I've taken all the gen chem, orgo, bio, english and math prereqs and plan on taking biochem my second semester this year (currently a senior). For other schools this hasn't been an issue so far, UMD emailed me...

I know this topic has been posted ad infinitum in these forums, and so much advice has been given. I've used the search function but something is still eating at me to the point where I'm now posting instead of lurking. I love psychology. Ever since I took AP psych in high school i've fell in...

Decided I'd make a thread for Shenandoah. It's one of my top choices. So I submitted my application 8/15. It was verified 8/25 and I actually got a text from the admissions team 8/29. I know they have recieved my $30 fee as well. But has anybofy heard back from them about an interview or anything?

Hi, I just finished my first couple weeks of M1 here at an allopath. in Chicago. I can't really help you all with admissions questions (I still don't totally understand how it works and I empathize with you all), but I do have a great opportunity to ask my classmates your most pressing...
