I'm a waitlisted applicant for two programs at Georgetown: The MD PhD program, and their MD-only program. Does anyone here know if there is ever any movement on MD-PhD waitlists, or am I better off switching to the MD program to increase my chance of acceptance? I'm worried that while I am on...

I'm in my P1 year of pharmacy school. It's going well grades-wise but my relationship is on the backburner. I do what I can but I have ADHD and studying/school is incredibly difficult for me to begin with and it seems like in order to do well and not fail out of school, the rest of my personal...

Just wondering.... For those who were able to get the PT degree before the DPT was the standard, if you had to go through it all again but instead had to pursue the DPT, and all the debt that came along with it, would you? Essentially, is the job worth the debt t comes with. Any and all replies...

I'm a freshman at George Mason with a 4.0 GPA so far and I'm moving to North Virginia Community College Annandale because of financial complications for at least 2 semesters. Of course, after the 2 semesters at NoVa, I'd go back to George Mason. How bad would it be, disregarding grades because...

I'm just wondering if it would add up to my profile to make a medical social media page. It would be mainly about the progress of medicine these days, premed/med student motivation, etc. Considering I can get it to be popular, do you think admissions would see it as a plus having 25k+ followers...

Hello everyone, Always thought I wanted to do PT, however looking at tuition costs, it doesn't seem sensible. 100k+ is like buying a house, and with cut reimbursements as well as other factors, idk if it is worth it. I am a junior exercise science undergrad, and could pursue clinical ex phys...

Hey all! I'm a longtime lurker on this site, and I just wanted to share where I am so far in the app cycle. I am hoping to gain some advice on how to proceed, so please bear with me as this post may be long! I applied this past cycle 2015-2016 with the following app: Residency: CA Stats...

Hi all. So a little background on me: I am currently an undergrad studying Business with a minor in health administration, and pre med as well, and am also a 68W (healthcare specialist aka medic) in the national guard with an infantry unit. By the time I graduate, my guard contract will be over...

Hello everyone. Reading other school lists, i've looked at them and thought "Geez, why are they so confused? Picking schools is not that difficult!" Well, now it's time to make my own list, and well, I understand now! I am hoping to get outsider feedback, and would very much appreciate thoughts...

So I'm on my OB rotation and the teaching has been subpar to say the least. A lady was in labor today and terrified about having a laceration so as she was pushing (2+ station) I was doing some posterior pressure with perineal massage. Now at this point it is just me and the labor nurses. The...

Im in achem and while the previous experiments have been individual labs, we are now doing group labs. The 2 other members are nice, but they keep on screwing up and causing us to start over or not finish in time. The first lab, one guy added in a wrong reagent (which he admits) in the middle of...

Hey everyone! I hope that this question is considered okay to post, and I apologize in advance for the length! I've been going back and forth between going to med school and grad school for a really long time (4+ years). There are aspects that I really like and enjoy for both, and things I'm...

Hi there, I am hoping that current or graduated medical students could shed some light on UCI and UCSD - beyond what can be read on their websites. I am choosing between the two schools and having a hard time.. In the last couple years, all the major differences that I could identify have been...

I have spent the past 5 years processing and moving beyond personal and professional devastation due to harm caused by, what I strongly believe to be, an unfair determination made by the State Board of Examiners of Psychology. It would be very inaccurate for me to say I have been successful in...

I have been interviewed at 3 schools and all of them have put me on the waitlist. Detroit Mercy Roseman University NYU Unfortunately, that is all the schools left that I have applied to. I was wondering, realistically, what are my chances of getting into those schools? Do people from the...

So basically I know I have to get good grades, but aside from that, where would be a good place to start building up my app? I'm a freshman in college btw.

Hi everybody, So I was accepted to RVUCOM (which is my top choice after interviewing, seeing the campus/students, board scores, etc.) on 1/25 after interviewing on 1/12, but have several other interviews lined up in the coming weeks and would just like some advice. I'm a Utah resident and want...

Hey guys! So here's a little bit of a backstory. I initially was intending to take a year off, but decided to give it a go and apply for 2016. Due to this last minute decision, I only allotted myself 2 weeks to study for the OAT (I know bad idea). I ended up getting a 270 aa and 240 ts. However...

Hello, I'm new here. Before I start, I would like to apologize for my grammar. Okay I'll get straight to the point. I'm currently a senior in college, I'm about to get my bachelors in finance (I know its way off) I will graduate next May. I have always been interested in medicine, the only...

Hey everyone, I graduated from college back in 2012 with a degree in Journalism and minor in English. After working in PR I realized it wasn't the career for me and ended up working at a dental office. After about a year, I decided I wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. It is completely...
