LONG STORY SHORT, my GPA probably ain't gonna cut it (3.25 cGPA, 3. 2 sGPa). I still have a year to bring it to a 3.38 cgpa and 3.29 sGPa before I graduate and apply, but I still don't know if i'll make the cut, thus, im planning on post-graduation plans on the very likely chance that I end up...

Hi everyone! I was talking to my advisor today about how since I have the space in my schedule, I would like to take classes in the sciences that a biology major wouldn't take, just because they interest me. I told her I wanted to take intro to environment, astronomy, Jurassic physics, Etc...

Long story short, I really screwed up freshman year. First semester was me being careless and thinking I could get away with last minute studying. Did not work out well at all. Second semester I was doing well, but some family and personal issues caused me to go into a minor depression. I...

Hello all, I just bombed a test in O Chem II, and I was just wondering how everything shaped up so far grade- and EC-wise. This has likely been covered in a different thread, if so, just LMK and I will check it out. Just a bit worried about how this bad chem grade will affect my chances of...

So, I am a current High School Senior. At the end of my junior year I decided that my senior year I was going to Dual enroll at a college and my college credits I was taking there will also count as the remaining high school credits I needed to graduate. Well now I'm in the spring semester and...

I am currently about to be a junior in undergrad and I currently have a 3.89 cumulative gpa but after this semester I believe I am going to receive a C+ in organic chemistry 1 which will drop me down to a 3.82/3.83 cumulative gpa. Will having a C+ be very bad on my chances in getting to medical...

So currently I am a freshman in an accelerated BS/MD program at a low tier university. So far, I have been disliking this program, the university, and the environment. I've cried many days every week since I've been here and thought about transferring to another university and leaving this...

Does anybody have a rough estimate of approximately how many people get placed on the waitlist every year at Maryland and if there is much movement for in state or out of state waitlisted applicants? Wanted to know for myself and others. Thanks!

So 95% of people in my classes, who I work with, etc., Are planning on going to med school. But I feel like there is no way they will ALL get in. But all of them are very easily able to say "I'm going to med school" or "I'm going to be a doctor" or "by that time I'll be in med school." I don't...

Hello. I am a freshman. I was wondering how medical schools would react to me taking the labs (say for Organic Chemistry or Physics) AFTER I had completed the lecture? I would still be taking it but maybe the next semester when I am not taking the lecture. Also, I was gonna take a small prereq...

I am in my 4th year of undergrad and I'm still Pre Vet. When ilI tell people that I am still Pre Vet, they have a questionable look in their eyes, like I shouldn't be pre vet. Why? Well, I've retaken the entire gen chem series, have recieved mediocre grades in major classes, and I am...
