Applied to 25 schools, 2 II, 1 reject, and rest silence. Complete 7/31-8/3 Not in panic mode, just want to see how everyone is holding up in the radio silence.

I am an author in an article that was recently accepted for publication. However, the date of publication is TBD right now. One of my secondaries asks for any updated info and I thought this would be a good one to add. Does anyone know how I can cite this accepted but unpublished article?

During interviews, I know that we should be engaging with medical school admins and students, but I was wondering how much you can really "fake it till you make it"? I'm an introvert (prefer listening to people rather than dominating the conversation). I don't have trouble conversing or meeting...

There's one school I was debating about applying too and decided I should just go for it. Would it be too late to add the school in August?

Greetings fellow EM applicants, So I totally decided to rip off the "Official 2016-2017 Anesthesia Application and Interview Spreadsheet" (see here: ) Obviously this will only work if people are willing to contribute- and hopefully take it seriously. I've got us started off and will continue...

I noticed I couldn't find any forums for the TMDSAS 2017-2018 cycle. Please correct me if I'm wrong and direct us to the correct thread. Thank you. Could people post their updates on the application process? I submitted mine mid-June, and it is still "TMDSAS Processing"

So unfortunately, I have already submitted a couple secondary applications before reading that these schools DO NOT accept online courses for pre-requisites (University of Miami Miller and John's Hopkins). All but one of my pre-reqs have been satisfied through AP or through in-person...

Hi everyone, I am having a hard time choosing which schools would be best for me to apply to and eliminating some of my options. Residency: Pennsylvania GPA: 3.54 from University of Virginia I am taking the DAT on July 20th so I don't have my scores for that yet. I have ~500 hours of...

Hiya! I am starting year 4, going into ped's, and have 2 away rotations booked for Aug and Sept. I also have the option of going to Mexico for a month in April. The idea would be to become more fluent in Spanish - however, I can save a lot of money ($2500) and take classes locally. I am curious...

I'm slightly concerned about my chances of getting into a MD/PhD or DO/PhD program (or really any DO or MD program) with my stats from undergrad. I'm currently applying for the 2018 cycle. I'm also wondering if my upward trend in GPA over the last two years will help my lackluster cumulative...

Hey guys! I had a couple questions pertaining to the experience section on the AADSAS. 1) For shadowing experiences, most of the shadowing I did were with local dentists for ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Would I put "per diem" or "temporary" for the status of my experience date? I...

There probably is an obvious answer to this question, but I want to make sure everything is right when filling out the app. There is a question that asks how many people other than our parent(s) lived in my primary household during the majority of my life. I don't have any siblings so do I say...

I am trying to get as many people's opinion on this as possible. So I am a junior and have taken almost all my prerequisites except for Organic Chem 1 and 2 and anatomy (The most important ones).

Hello! I am in the midst of writing my personal statement for the upcoming cycle. I have gotten various advice from different people regarding how to go about in writing it. Some told me to be creative and unique, without listing out all your accomplishments since that is what the other parts...

Hi everyone! I've been looking for a thread like this for the upcoming application cycle specifically, and haven't found it anywhere. So I figured I'd start one myself :) I'm relatively new to SDN besides the occasional stalking for other pre-dents who are starting to freak out about this...

Hello everyone, I am an international pre-dental student in the US. I wonder if anyone can help finding dental schools that accept international students. Thanks.

Can someone give me some advice on the MD application process? I am planning to apply for the 2018 cycle. I haven't taken my MCATs yet and wanted to know when was the latest time I could take them to submit my application in the beginning of the cycle. Thanks:)
