One of the work / activities I'm writing about is the time I was deployed. I want to emphasize this as an important experience because it made me realize I can handle working under pressure easily. I would like to add a little humor and say that on a deployment everything is turned up to 11. Is...

This is weird, but I apply to medical school in about a year. I started medication for depression and anxiety one week before I started college. I was a 4.0 student in high school, but my medication has put me in kind of haze, and now I'm pretty average at a 3.45. I have ADD as well, but...

Can someone explain the general timing for submitting the primary app. I got my transcripts and MCAT score verified on AACOMAS and I'm working on the application right now. I'm almost done, but should I wait until the beginning of June? I heard that they don't start reviewing primaries until...

Hi! I am soon going to be a junior in college and am planning on taking a gap year the year after I graduate to get more experience and work on my application. I read that applications must be in the fall before you would attend Vet school, so my question is: would this mean I only have the...

Hi all, hopefully, this is a relatively simple question to answer. I took Dual Enrollment classes during junior year of high school (2013-2014), and then took transient student summer classes at the same college (2016). In the AMCAS application where it says "dates attended" do I put 2013-2016...

Hello, I am trying to fill out my application but a bit confused about whether to include some of the classes I took before my associates. I called amcas in two different occasions and I received two different answers, the second one more confusing than the first one. Apparently they don't come...

Is there any way to submit a committee letter, a dentist letter, and an individual letter? I unfortunately thought the committee letter counted as one slot on the evaluation page not three and my individual letter has already been written.... I had them upload it to inferfolio, but don't want...

Hi yall, I attempted organic chemistry at a community college but eventually had to withdraw from the class and receive a W. This is the only class I took at this school. Do I still have to input this information and send the transcript on my application?

I am a 2017 graduate from UCD, political science major with 3.88 sGPA I have recently decided to take a second gap year due to some health issues. I could have applied this cycle, but it may have been in a somewhat haphazard fashion that it is possible to see regretting, with my burning only...

Hi All! I am applying this cycle and am planning to take medical Spanish classes at a community college starting in September 2018 during my gap year. Is this something I should include in the course work? If so, am I supposed to submit a transcript from the community college even though I...

If TLDR: refer to bolded for quick skim.. I do not want to come off as entitled. I do believe that income/background disclosures have a place on the primary application so as to benefit URM populations. What I oppose is their disclosure being (arguably) mandatory. My father is a prominent ER...

I am taking the MCAT June 16th (score release July 17th). One of my biggest goals was that I wanted to apply as early as possible to be in the first wave, but due to unfortunate circumstances my mcat was pushed back to June 16th. Now I don't plan on selecting schools before my MCAT is released...

I was told by a friend that if you are above a certain GPA (she says a 3.6), you are put in a separate pool of applicants when it comes to medical school admissions looking at your apps? Is this true? I have also heard that if you are below a certain GPA, your app will be thrown out. I am...

Main Question: In application essays, is it better to present oneself as a candidate with a very clear focus, or to be a generalist with an undetermined focus that can fit in anywhere? I ask, because I am considering presenting myself as a very focused candidate. My academic and work history...
