Hi! So, I am a freshman biology major and one of the things that I wanted to do was to ask for advice/ feedback about how I am doing as a pre-medical student in my freshman year. (and anything else that I could do to make myself a competitive applicant). I currently have a 3.94 GPA and my...

Hi Everyone,

I'm a biology major at a top 40 university (USA) with a liberal arts curriculum. I entered school without any clue about what I wanted to do with my life and, long story short, that theme has pretty much painted my entire experience here. I'm now a second semester senior and I'm considering my...

Hi everyone! A friend of mine is planning to apply to medical school this coming 2018-2019 cycle. They are pretty worried about their chances, so I wanted to get other opinions for them. GPA: 3.7 at a state school MCAT: 509 They are a VA state resident, ORM They volunteered as a mentor to...

As I'm scrolling through pre-med reqs now it would seem some medical schools require statistics, but prefer biostatistics. I am enrolled to take elementary statistics next semester, and this statistics course specifically geared towards students who will later pursue graduate school in the...

Hi, I have a 3.29oGPA and 3.29 BCP, and a 3.034 sGPA. Thats what it most likely is going to be because my semester isn't too bad. With a 22 DAT, 180 hours shadowing/ Volunteering, and lots of leadership and strong letters of Rec. Im applying early June, and I'm just nervous my GPA is too low...

Hello all, I'm only coming here because I genuinely need advice on how I should go about my premed career. I am planning to apply for about 40 MD/pHD programs and I would like to know what tier schools I should apply for or whether or not I will get in anywhere. African-American, female, 3.8...

I've been reading around but most of the posts I'm finding are years old and don't seem accurate today. Also its pretty long but I REALLY need some input :arghh: I'm an international student [note: not Canadian nor US citizen/permanent resident] in my "third" year of my Bachelor's degree at a...

Does a 22 DAT, and tons of extra curriculars and leadership + 300+ hours shadowing and 150+ shadowing compensate for a 3.29 oGPA and a 3.05 sGPA, but a 3.3 BCP? Applying first week as well

-3.04 sGPA -3.3 BCP -3.39 OGPA -22 DAT -Strong upward trend 2.7 freshman year, 3.54 sophomore year, and probably a 3.65 junior year. -Strong letters of rec -150+ hours shadowing / volunteering over 2 years - Lots of extracurricular (2 jobs, pre dental club leadership, biology club, etc...) -...

Hey did anybody hear any good news, either interviews or acceptances with a DAT of a 21, 3.3 oGPA and a 3.1ish science GPA? I’m applying in June !

It seems like on here that schools only look at sGPA..? EYE was curious if schools look at oGPA as well? EYE have a 3.39 oGPA and a 3.04sGPA, with great LORs, plenty of shadowing and volunteeering hours.. 150+ for each, and a 22 DAT. I’m applying to 15-20 schools but am feeling doubtful. This...

My MCAT score is a 513 (129/130/129/125). I was expecting higher but I messed up on PsychSoc. I was scoring 128-130 on PS coming into the test, but I guess I was nervous or not focused enough on the actual MCAT. Anyway, do you guys think that the drop in the PS score will look really bad to med...

Made a horrible mess out of undergrad, and for a few years tried to focus on different career paths. Graduated now and working as a sustainability analyst. took a long time away from med to realize that i still want to do it, and now i'm exploring possible actions again. Wasn't being dramatic...

Hello. I'm currently pursuing a bachelor degree in science with a concentration in industrial microbiology. I live in Puerto Rico. Am I considered a minority in the Unites States? What is the advantage of this? I have a 3.71 cumulative GPA and a 3.62 in sciences. I'm volunteering in a home for...

Hey y'all, So I kinda messed up my MCAT. 506 127/124/128/127. I have already turned in my secondaries to about 15 schools which is now somewhat disappointing. My GPA is at 3.73 with experience volunteering at an oncology unit of a hospital, a free health clinic and a national wildlife refuge...

Hello everyone, I'm joining after lurking for a while as an undergrad and while prepping for the MCAT. My path is slightly non-traditional and the disparity between my gpa and MCAT scores makes it difficult to weigh my options. I recently finished two, part-time, non-matriculated semesters...

Hello SDN! Long time lurker here, and I would like to start out by saying thank you all. This has been a wonderful guide full of beneficial resources. I honestly don't know what I would have done without you extremely helpful people. I plan to give back in a meaningful way as soon as I complete...

Hello everyone!
