chances

I have a 3.8 gpa and I haven't gotten my mcat score back yet but I scored 512 plus on all my practice exams. I did really bad first semester sophomore year where I got a BC (basically a c+ since the a BC is 2.5) in organic chem and got B's in a couple of other classes. I got really scared since...

I'm putting this in a separate thread outside of "what are my chances" because I'm more seeking specific advice for both myself, and for students who graduated from state schools and feel at a disadvantage applying to traditionally big-name universities. My research interests very broadly are...

Hello, I have recently left a Caribbean school, I was part of it for about 1 and a half years when I realized I hated the Caribbean route and the school also had issues with the government so it wasn't doing too well. My grades were good in my classes, but those credits won't count for me here...

I have been reading SDN and asking questions about matching into Radiology. The general answer I get about match chances is " A passing Step score and a pulse" are all that is needed to match Radiology. Yet the Step 1 average is 240. On Charting outcomes I also see that a score greater than 220...

Hello everyone, So I am very conflicted in the application process right now. I went through two rejections already (one school does not accept classes passed graduation, so my undergraduate GPA is low, and another school rejected me after an interview), and I feel a bit overwhelmed with the...

I have a balance MCAT score, 511 (85%), my cGPA is 3.87, sGPA is 3.9, I have 200 hours of hospital experience interacting with patients, 2 years plus of volunteering, worked with 5 different labs in different faculties (mechanical, biomedical engineering; neuroscience, and Public Administration...

Hi! I'm looking for school list recommendations and was wondering if anyone had any insight as to whether I have a good chance at UC Davis and USC Keck (dream schools!). I'm open to DO and MD My mcat could be better but Im not sure if it is worth a retake Stats: Community College 4.0 /UC...

Goal is to become a physician-scientist, possibly in surgery. So MD is preferable to DO, but I will apply both. Applied last cycle (2016), got two interviews, one rejection and one waitlist. Non-trad (I think): graduated 2016 in bioengineering, have been working as a biomedical engineer since...

My stats are as listed above. I have 2 years of experience as an RN, but a total of 5.5 years of healthcare experience total. I have about 150 hours of volunteer experience. Shadowed internal medicine for 12 hours; cardiology for 12 hours. I am married and have two children. First...

Hey guys! So after receiving my MCAT score back today, I decided I want to add more DO schools? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.:) cGPA: 3.57 sGPA:3.33 MCAT: 500 I hope its okay that you all can trust me that my extracurriculars are probably the strongest part of my application but I...

Hello everyone! I am a third year student at the University of Virginia hoping to apply to a long list of DO schools next fall in my final undergrad year. I didn't do so hot my 1st year and had a gpa of 2.9. My 2nd year I had surgery on my brain and was out for the fall semester and returned in...

Hi, I am in my 4th year of my biology degree at Acadia University, and was wondering if anyone knows the chances I will get accepted to medical schools, particularly Dalhousie, Norhtern Ontario, MUN.. etc. I am going to be taking a year as an independent student while I apply. - 3.5 gpa -...

Hello everyone. I am convinced that my chances to enter an MD program and any future as a physician are gone. I have my application completed, but I have not submitted yet because of my concerns regarding my poor MCAT score and low GPA. Are there any MD programs that would bother accepting...

Hello all, I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on how to improve my chances of getting into medical and if you could give me an honest review of my medical school stats so far. I will be a junior in my undergraduate studies this year (Female, MN resident, Caucasian). I...

Hello SDN, I have a somewhat confusing situation because I have two transcripts. Quick background: I did the Running Start program, finished an AA-DTA degree at a community college. Then, I transferred to a private 4-year university, currently a senior. At my community college my gpa on...

I'm struggling a bit with whether or not to submit an (albeit, slightly late) application this cycle, or wait until next year. Background is: GPA 3.79, sGPA probably around 3.6, MCAT 513, leadership in undergrad medical brigade, worked in research for 2.5 years (nothing published), graduated...

I have two undergrad degrees, and I did poorly in my first one but did reasonably well in my second degree. Because I have so many credits, additional courses will do little to up my GPA, and I'm a little bit older too (30), so I'm slightly wary of doing a graduate degree. Would it be worth it...

Hi, so I am going into my sophomore year and was concerned how an average 1st semester and really poor 2nd semester will possibly impact my chances of getting into a competitive MD/PhD or MSTP program down the road. Fall of my freshman year I did okay and only got a 3.28 with a B- in Gen Chem 1...

So the odds are looking against me from what I can tell, I'm a 3rd year just got back my scores of USMLE 218, COMLEX 541, and bottom quarter of class. I was president of the Anesthesiology club at my school but not much else Anesthesia related. What do you think about my shot at getting an...

Hi everyone, first time actually posting something here, My anxiety has gone through the roof with this. I have a 2.7 cGPA. I'm a senior college. And I havent taken the MCAT yet (will be on Sept 9) and after all this I still want to apply to medical school. In terms of volunteering/shadowing...

Hello folks, I'm an international (non-canadian) student hoping to attend medical school in the US. A little backstory - I moved to the US for undergrad in 2011 - got an engineering degree, and in my junior year applied to medical school with a 36 MCAT and a 3.9 gpa. I was accepted at one place...

Hi, I know a lot of people post this, but I'm curious as well to know how competitive my stats are. I'm looking to get into (at least) a top 25 school. Probably UTHSC or even better if possible. I have a 3.8 overall GPA (Biology major) I got an 86 on the PCAT with a 92 on the chemistry section...

Hi! As you can tell, I'm always worried. I'm scared I might even regret posting this. I'm a URM (I think), my mother is from El Salvador, and my father's family is from Mexico. I identified myself as "disadvantaged" since I grew up very poor. My PS has a lot to do with me growing up as a...
