bad

Hello, I am applying and wondering if there are any MD or DO schools that should be avoided in any of your opinions? And why? I know new schools are risky - are there any exceptions this year? Sorry, I keep searching for this and can’t find any threads on it. I understand this will be largely...

Dear SDN, This week has come with some bad news. I realized that 1) Due to financial constraints I will be able to apply to max 9 schools. FAP not an option. 2) My cGPA will appear a full point lower than I thought. My school transcript says 3.6, but because I have so many A+s in my last...

Do you think schools overlook a bad freshman year? I’ve been on a strong upward trend since but the highest I’ll be able to get my oGPA to is a 3.3 by the end of this semester. I started with a 2.3.

Have any of yall studied hard for MCAT but did not receive a good score or the score you were aiming for?

Hi all, I'm a 21 year old senior at an accredited university in Puerto Rico. After much indecisiveness, I've set my eyes on studying medicine in the U.S. However, for the past three years, I've managed to pass most of my classes (I'm an Anthropology major) with little to none study habits and...

If I get C pluses in all of my premedical courses but ace every other course would I still be able to get into medical school. I.e. has anyone ever gotten into a MD or DO school this way?

First post here, so please cut me a little break. Long story short, I am currently taking my second semester of organic II with the lab. All my time is focused on this at the moment. I know I need to study for the DAT, and plan to within the upcoming months. My issue is, it has honestly been a...

People are always posting threads asking about DAT GPA combos. I'm interested in hearing what you all think. What do you all think is a bad, fine, good, amazing combination for DAT/GPA? For the purposes of the thread, assume GPA is not community college, and DAT has no under 17 sections.
