After stalking all of these forums I’m wondering if I’m ready to apply!!! And (hopefully) be accepted. Here are my stats!! Do you think I have a chance of getting in? Or should I improve some things? I’m planning on applying 2018-2019 cycle! Thank you so much in advance!
University: UC Irvine...
I will most likely be going to Stony Brook University as a Biology Major with Premed. How will this impact my chances of getting into a med school? Also, as a caucasian student that is seriously low-income, should I still intend to go to medical school? It's the only career path I can think of...
Hi all. I've been studying for Step 1 for the past 7 weeks. Here is the progression I've had thus far:
CBSE: 168
NBME 17: 178
USWA 1: 205
NBME 15: 198
NBME 13: 201
My question is: what should I do to improve in the next 7 weeks? My goal score is a 230 but I'll be happy with a 210-220. Is that...
Hello everyone,
I’ve been searching the forums about this topic for a while. From what I read it does look like the prestige of your undergraduate university matters to top medical schools.
I know it would be a privilege to get in anywhere and I am by no means expecting to get into any top...

So after finally getting my MCAT score, I now have a good picture of what my application will look like, and I wanted to get your opinions on how I look as an applicant.
Academics...
Hello,
I'm looking to apply to many post-baccs to improve my academic record. Depression affected my path and made me who I am, and I feel weird leaving it out of my personal statement. that being said, i understand it makes me look a bit weak. I wouldn't be applying to these programs if I...
Hi all,
Texas resident and was planning on applying this upcoming summer. However, I was unsure whether my clinical hours were sufficient. I currently have 100 hours volunteering at two different retirement homes and will have an additional 400 hours volunteering at a camp for physically and...
Hey Everyone!
I applied for the very first time to PT schools this past cycle for classes beginning in 2018 and was rejected from 8 and my application is on hold for 1 (Campbell University, whose classes start in 2019), pending that I send in my transcript for classes they want me to retake. I...
Hello everyone, I'm a senior currently completing my internship for my degree and I returned back to my ultimate goal of attending PT school somewhat late; I know that's going to hold me off from applying directly out of college, but I'd really like to get the rest of my pre-reqs done and apply...

I'm thinking of applying to PhD programs next year. I'm interested in Health Policy and Management programs and I'm looking at GW, JHU, and UMD, but would be open to others as well. The problem is my terrible undergrad GPA which hovers at a 2.6. I went to a competitive private university and...
Hi sdn!
I'm looking to get some suggestions here. I am a non-traditional student and graduated with a bachelors in a foreign language in 2016. I took most of my pre-reqs during undergrad except for physics and biochem, which I'm taking this semester (well, physics I this semester and physics II...

Hi,
I had no C's on my transcript in the last 2 years, but this year I managed to get 2. In March my father passed away, and soon after I received a diagnosis of MS. All of this leading to issues with anxiety and depression. The depression has been crippling and I've had two stays in the...
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...
Hi!
So I know it's late in the cycle but I'm currently applying to DO schools and so far I've only applied to 2 schools and actually got an interview at RowanSOM (I'm super happy and ecstatic about that, its such an amazing school) but I wanted to know what other schools I could apply to. I...
Hi all,
Sorry ahead of time to post this kind of a question. I know it is nuanced, but I have searched through the posts, looked at AMCAS stats and SLU's self reported stats but am still a bit unsure about my chances. Looking to see if anyone may have insight or experience with SLU that can be...
Hi, I am a freshman at community college. I graduated high school with a GPA of 3.8. At the high school, I got a C in chemistry, then A in honors math classes such as algebra, geometry, Algebra II. My first semester at college I had taken the below courses so far. I will start my physics classes...
Thank you in advance for assistance!
I am applying MD in June. I have research experience in addiction/mental health during undergrad. I currently work in an addiction facility. I have a passion for these patients, but I do not want to limit my future opportunities after medical school. I do...
Hi y'all!
I'm in a bit of a pickle. I just calculated my official AMCAS gpa and it is ROUGH (3.2 overall, 2.80 sGPA). There was a definitely an upward trend (frosh sGPA 2.19 to senior sGPA3.6) My undergrad university replaced bad grades that were retaken with the better grade so I've never seen...
Hi everyone,
I will be graduating with a B.S this spring (2018). I applied this cycle to 18 MD programs and have had only 2 interviews so far and have been rejected at both schools.
One IS and one OOS
Overall GPA: 3.61
Science GPA: 3.53
MCAT: 502 (126/126/125/125)
I took the mcat while...
This is a low-ball estimate for my GPA when I apply (summer 2018). At the moment I have 2 C's going onto my transcript, one in Orgo II and one in Physical Chemistry. To make up for that, I got an A in Biochem I the same semester as I got the C in P. Chem. Also estimating the MCAT based on...
Got 2 F's, one in music history and the other in intro to English.
My BCPM is 3.8 and cGPA is 3.5 (3.7 cGPA after grade replacement, which doesn't count)
My transcript shows a clear upward trend, where I literally got all A's in every science (except orgo2 which was a B+) my junior and senior...
I am currently a sophomore who is applying to the Atlantic Bridge program for the upcoming year, and I'm wondering if anyone can give me some insight into my chances of admission? My high school stats were eh - 3.3 cumulative. I turned things around my freshman year and ended with a 3.78 GPA...
I was wondering if any of you could help me with the situation I am currently in. I took the MCAT in July and scored a 499. Knowing that with a 3.01 GPA and a 499 MCAT, my chances of gaining admittance into many medical schools is low I am planning on applying to an SMP and retaking the MCAT...
I'm currently a Junior and just took my MCAT. My GPA will likely remain constant. Il resident. First generation college student, and both of my parents were born in another country.
A large part of my low-end GPA is due to my grandmother becoming paralyzed and needing constant care. I commute...
