advice needed

So this is my 2nd time applying to DO schools. I graduated with a degree in pre-veterinary medicine & animal biosciences (I changed my mind about being a vet during my junior year, but there was no pre-med major to switch to). cGPA is 3.4 and sGPA is 3.2. My lowest grades were two C+ in general...

Hi everyone, I am a fourth year "pre-med" student in Canada on the verge of completing my bachelors. I've applied to the med school in my home province and will likely receive an admission offer as I have great stats for an IP applicant. I'm confident that medicine is what I want as a career...

Hi Everyone, Was just wondering what my chances of applying in the upcoming D.O. cycle were and shot of acceptance. 3.61 cGPA and 3.4-3.5 sGPA 501 MCAT (actually improved, I know it is low) 400 shadowing hours at a competitive internship: rotated weekly with 10 different medical specialties...

I will be taking my Step 1 in July and am starting to work on my CV. I am currently a student at SGU in Grenada, which I know it becomes a bit more competitive when going for an Emergency Residency. I just want to present my qualities as best as I can. My past experience is an Emergency Dept RN...

Hey guys, so I would really appreciate some advice. I'm a sophomore (Chem major, pre-med). My school uses a plus/minus grading system; in order to pass a class you have to get at least a C (you fail with a C-). We can replace our grade if we fail a class and the new grade will be factored into...

Hi SDN friends, I just received an acceptance to a top choice of mine, School A, this weekend. School A is a well-known school that many people apply to. This is my second acceptance (*small happy dance*). From my understanding, School A does not provide a lot of scholarship funding, so...

Hello Everyone, I am a recent graduate of a private university and trying to apply to medical schools. I know it is very late in the cycle, but I wanted to know if I have a chance of starting medical school in the fall of 2017. I know there are some schools that offer post-baccaraulette...

I completely understand the amount of questions possibly asked about this topic. I just have a specific instance I was hoping some fellow pre-med/docs would be able to help me answer. I recently finished up my general eds at a community college and plan to start picking a bachelor's degree...

MOD NOTE: We are now going to have one thread for all of the inquiries for competitiveness, what are my chances, do I have a shot, can I get into ABC University, etc. Most of the other SDN forums have found success with having one thread, so we are going to adopt that going forward. 1. Please...

Good news: I've just been accepted! Background : I was cited a couple years ago for underage drinking, which was all dropped in a day or so and nothing ever came of it. My lawyer assured me it was taken care of, that it was not an arrest, and I could put no on all the forms when asked about...
