chance

Hi Y'all how are we doing? This is my first post here, as I managed to stay away from all the Reddit and SDN hype throughout the cycle. Based on that, I hope I don't come off as overzealous in this post or naive. I didn't have the best cycle (I hope this isn't sounding ungrateful), but I did get...

I have posted previously, but wanted to update some of my stats because my feedback from my advisors is that psychiatry is more competitive and I'm not as competitive as I've hoped. URM, demonstrated interest in psych from undergrad. Have an MPH with applied practice in neurodiversity and...

Just wondering how I can solidify my application. I hope to return to Manhattan w/ my fiance and family. Currently in a mid-tier (top 50) school on the east coast. URM, demonstrated interest in psych from undergrad. Have an MPH with applied practice in neurodiversity and advocacy. Poster...

Hi, What are the chances of an MD school from a top SMP with a GPA of 3.5-3.6? For a non-traditional applicant without an undergrad major in biomedical sciences. I know higher is expected and in retrospect, I probably should have done a regular physiology master's since I did not have a very...

I am applying this upcoming cycle in June. I am a resident of New York and I really want to go to school outside of New York. I strongly prefer Florida. Then comes California. If it really comes down to it, I guess I'll be happy at a big name school with a nice college town that is not FL or CA...

Hello, I currently work as a high-school biology teacher at a title 1 school (over 95% of students are considered economically disadvantaged) and plan on applying to medical schools this coming cycle. I know my GPA is fairly low (possibly even for DO schools) but I have good experiences and...

I graduated back in 2015 with bachelor's in psych. I was pre-OT before but I messed up in my anatomy classes and ended up with a low GPA of 3.18. Since graduating, I've been working in a medical office and would like to apply to OT school again. I am wondering if I should go through OTA school...

Hi everyone, It is the first time I ever post on a forum website, much less a forum site dedicated to aspiring professionals. Let me just start my story, and say that I will be overwhelmingly honest. I started community college back in 2015, I stayed for a few semesters in college but quickly...

Wondering if 4th years on the interview trail or residents can give some input in regards to chances and if I should give a shot at urology. Below are some stats and info: -3rd year male osteopathic student, Step1 235, COMLEX1 520-530, 3.0 GPA, Step2 and COMLEX2 in May TBD. -3 Poster...

Hey everyone! So I just graduated this May with a B.S in Computer Science from a state school. I've felt the calling towards medical school for as long as I can remember, however my parents pushed me to do CS. Right now I was able to land a job with a huge company as a software engineer with...

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...

Hi! I'm a student at a school in Ohio. Could anyone recommend some schools for me and whether I have a chance at UMass and Tufts specifically? 3.64 cGPA, 3.62 sGPA (upward trend from a 3.48 cGPA after fall sophomore year) Major: Biochemistry major, psychology minor (senior) 511 mcat...

Hi, I’m sure this kind of stuff is posted all the time, but lately I’ve just had a lot of thoughts and anxiety running through my head and could use some clarity. I am 3 weeks into my sophomore year currently the University of San Francisco but my concern is with my freshman grades. For my...

Hello SDN. I am a little ahead of schedule as far as my undergraduate course works goes (dual credit stuff in high school) and was considering maybe teaching (junior high or high school) for a year before medical school. Providing my GPAs, MCAT, and other admission criteria are on par with a...

so to begin, I do not want to take a gap year. am firmly against the idea if I do not have to. in terms of research/EC's I believe I am a pretty strong applicant with 3.9+/hopefully will receive a good MCAT score, taking in Jan. I am a little worried about physician shadowing and clinical...

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?

Howdy, strangers! My SO and I will be applying for this year's match for IM. We've got 2 mo USCE with 3 letters each. Both step 2 CS first attempt pass. Steps 1 and 2 around 250. We need visas. Also, honors in all clerkships. YOG late 2017. We will be applying for ~150 programs, having had...

Hello, fellow SD'ers. So, I'm currently an undergrad/masters student whos applying MD/ Ph.D. this coming cycle and I was wondering if I could get some help/opinions. So I go to a relatively average school nothing with real name recognition. While doing my undergrad I kinda goofed and ended up...

I have a’s and b’s in all the pre req classes I retook my general chem and organic chem and got As. I took the dat got 22 and I have volunteering hours. do I still have...

Hi, so this may be a bit different since I am about to start junior year in undergrad. My gpa is 3.93. My main question is: as long as my gpa and mcat are solid (like 3.7+ gpa and hopefully 505-510 mcat at the very least), will I be able to get into DO schools with not much...

Hi I’m applying to 18 schools and just submitted my application. I know i have sub average stats but i applied broadly and realistically. 18AA, 3.3GPA with a 3.75 the last two years, over 3000 volunteering hours, 300+ shadowing, strong LORS, great PS, and string ECs/leadership. Should i...

So i took the DAT in june, got an 18AA/TS and I know thats not ideal with my 3.3 GPA. My extracurriculars are by far my best attribute though. Is retaking the DAT in august too late? ill have my application done in june if not.. Im also applying to 15-20 schools broadly, and realistically with...

My extracurriculars are by far my best attribute to my application. I have a low 3.3 GPA, and i just scored a 18AA/TS on the DAT because of QR bringing me down.. I dont know if i should just apply, and see what happens (15+ schools) or retake the DAT in august because thats the next chance I...

two questions here: 1. let's say a certain school screens and has an MCAT/GPA Cut off. does receiving secondaries from such a school mean an applicant is now more likely to be considered for the next admission process more based on the secondary essays rather than just the MCAT/gpa. I...
