Hey all, So I have known for a little over a year now that I want to pursue a career in aerospace medicine, specifically to study and treat the health conditions associated with space travel. I am concerned about how this will look to medical schools, as all of them seem very focused on...

Hey guys, I have recently retaken the DAT June 7th and have done significantly better than my first take (19 AA --> 23 AA). My only issue is that I am getting conflicting information on when my scores are going to post. Some people tell me 10-14 days, ADA practically told me 2 months. What...

GPA: 3.9 (cum) 3.85 (science) MCAT: 511 Which school tiers should I be targeting??

Hello Everyone, I was wondering what is the latest possible MCAT I can take this summer for this application cycle. This will be my second MCAT exam. Would August 2 or 3 be feasible? Thanks in advance.

Currently, my school has a collaboration where undergraduate students can work alongside the medical students during gross anatomy labs. Personally, I was wondering the relevance this could have on the application process and whether it would help bolster my app if I do around 50-100 hours...

Hello fellow SDNers! I am a 2019 applicant (trying to get my PS written early) and I would really appreciate some help in brainstorming what I should write! This may be an odd thing to ask, as I do understand that PS can get very personal sometimes, but I was wondering if any past...

I'm currently planning on taking the DAT in late June/July of 2019, from what I hear it's a huge hit to your chances of being accepted if you apply late.
