Hi! Freshman year I did well in my classes, with an A- in General Chemistry 1, a B+ in General Chemistry 2, an A- in Biology 1, and A in all other classes I was taking including labs for the 3 courses mentioned before. However, come first semester of sophomore year, I ended up with a C in...

Howdy, I am setting my eyes on ISMMS, but I would like honest feedback to know if I should further pursue this or if it would be a waste of my time and money, Info: I grew up in a very rural part of New Mexico (village of 500 people, I want to be a doctor because we grew up with a great lack...

I am a junior who is finishing up a technology degree who also has an interest in pursuing medicine. My health impacted my academics drastically to the point of having a combination of over 10 D’s and F’s in Math courses. I couldn’t move forward in my program without those math courses hence so...

Hey everyone! I'm trying to put my school list together. I feel like my MCAT and GPA don't exactly match so I'm trying to figure out if it is realistic for me to get into these top tier schools and I want to make sure my list isn't too top heavy. I'm also worried because there are some schools...

I'm thinking of adding a few schools to my list (Vanderbilt, Duke, Baylor, USC Keck, WUSTL, etc.). Is being complete mid-late August still okay for someone who is LM 81, or is it too late to bother?

Hi everyone! 3.21 cGPA, 3.00 sGPA, 4.00 gGPA, 515 MCAT I graduated college in '16 (Top #30 school) and enrolled in a graduate post-bacc (MS) and got a 4.0 (all classes in biomedical science). It really bothers me that my uGPA did not budge on my AMCAS even after all the hard work I put in grad...

I'm sure a few of you all have seen a post of mine I've made within the past couple days. I've been using this forum to look at school options, funding options, and many other things, and I believe I've made up my school list in its entirety. I am going to apply to over 30 schools! Yeah, yeah, I...

Edit: This was supposed to be the title to my question: What are chances at my desired programs? I guess there was an issue with autocorrect haha. It won't let me change it. What's up, SDN?! So, I'm new here. Brand new. I was directed here through the premed subreddit forums of Reddit (hence...

I know there's a huge discrepancy in my GPA. Long story short, I did't really know what I was doing with my life during my early college years. My grades from junior college are horrendous (a ridiculous amount of D's, F's and W's). However, my grades significantly improved after I decided to...
