Basically what the title says. I wrote about a meaningful patient interaction I had in my personal statement, and I just now realized I accidentally used their real first name and the real first name of their daughter in my personal statement (first names only). I didn't mention the specific...
In my activities section, I talked about a volunteer experience I had over summer.
In the description I explicitly said the experience ended after summer because I went out of town for school. I also explicitly said I came back to visit the place I volunteered that winter break. THEN I said...
Basically the title. I requested transcripts from two different schools - one was a university and one was a community college. The university's transcripts were sent, processed, and received by AMCAS all on the same day. On 5/5, Parchment told me the transcripts from my community college were...
To give you a better idea of what to include in this section of the application, I am providing examples of activity descriptions and most meaningful essays at the bottom of this blog post. They were generously shared by students who were accepted into medical school. As you’ll see, these are...
When you apply to TMDSAS, you can select from thirteen medical schools in Texas to submit your application to. Twelve of these schools require secondaries. The secondary essays are due when you submit your primary application. You submit these essays directly to the schools, at the same time...

So while I was conflicted about whether or not to apply this cycle, one of my mentors has convinced me to apply. The problem is, I don't know how much this will hurt my cycle chances. I submitted my primary app on July 12th, and my transcript, LOR, MCAT are all good to go. However, I'm worried...
Hey everyone,
I’m applying for the 2021 cycle and when I did my AMCAS app, I selected “no” when asked if i believed I was a disadvantaged student. To my surprise, AAMC designated me as disadvantaged when my app was verified. Although I am a first-generation American born to immigrant...
I took college credit classes through my high school my sophomore and junior year and received retroactive credit for them my senior year along with a grade for my senior class that built off of the classes I took sophomore and junior year. Do any of ya'll have experience inputting this into...
I haven't been the most diligent about apps and just started working on my primary app May 24th. This was mainly because I'm also currently studying for my MCAT (which I'm taking July 7th). In terms of apps I'm starting with a completely blank slate, meaning no LORs yet and need to write a...
