Hello all. I went through a rough semester this semester with some personal family issues. I was wondering what my options would be with a possible D on my transcript? My GPA is obviously going to go down but am I mandated to undergo a post bacc now? Is it still possible?

Has anyone taken the ACS exam for Organic Chemistry? I am going to be taking it in a week. I was wondering what advice you guys would have? I bought the review guide. I personally heard it's not too bad. Also the professor is suppose to be curving it, not to mention, everyone says that the ACS...

Hello. I have a quick question about letters of recommendation. So, I am thinking about asking my Gen Chem II professor, Psych professor and English professor for LORS but was wondering how to go about it? I understand that there is a guideline that I have to request them to follow but I was...

Hey everyone, I don't post often so I hope I'm posting this in the right place. I'm a junior, pre-med at a Top 20 university (if that makes any difference). I took Chemistry my freshman year at an accelerated level and got destroyed in Chem 2 with a C-. I understand that means I'll have to...

Hi all. Lowest score on my first MCAT was a 121 in CP. I've been going over the CP problems in Khan Academy and make sure I understand the problem and background concept in-full before moving on (this can take >2 hours in some circumstances). I'm attempting to use a question-based approach to...

So I went through a lot of **** this semester. Grandfather fell sick, passed away and I'm having trouble staying motivated. The cGPA is about a 3.80 right now, I'm not ridiculously failing but I'm not doing well either. Really upset with my progress because this was such an important semester...

hello, I wanted to know if organic chem 1 or organic chem 2 were tested heavily on the pcat? I have not taken the courses yet and want to know if I should wait and take the course if I will be able to learn some stuff on my own. I am familiar with some organic 1 topics but not the majority of...

Hi, I am a freshman in college with an Art History major on a pre-med track. I am currently seriously struggling with Chem1. I have a D in the class and I'm on the verge of dropping the class. I've always really wanted to become a surgeon but, if I'm already struggling with Chem1, how am I going...

So I don't know if any of you are aware but there's an Alzheimer's association and I got an interview to volunteer there. Now I'll basically be a "coordinator" telling people about Alzheimer's and helping out with support groups. I don't think I'll really be interacting with Alzheimer's patients...

So I just withdrew from my first genchem college chemistry class. Does anyone have any tips on how to excel in a chem lecture with like 300 people? I have ADHD and dyslexia, and I think that they've really kicked my rear this semester and that's part of the reason I've been struggling, but I...

I've been reading through the classes to take on many dental school websites, and a lot of them state that to be competitive you should have advanced science courses such as Anatomy, Physiology, Genetics, Histoloy, Evolution etc... I was wondering if other upper level science classes also count...

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 got for Math 2 590 and Chemistry 570 on the subject tests. Some schools strongly recommend these scores for their predental accelerated program like UOP (University of Pacific), but obviously my scores are pretty low. Should I submit them still?

Hello everyone, sorry if this is not the right place to ask this question. Just wanted to know how does a soluble, volatile impurity affect the boiling point of a liquid? I know it depends on the difference between the boiling points of the liquid and the impurity, but i'm afraid i still didn't...

Hey all. The college I attend has a BS course for premed students. Is it worth taking? It's two credits and it's considered a "GPA booster". I just don't know if it's worth it. Id be taking it next semester. Next semester I'll be taking Bio Bio Lab Orgo 2 Neuroscience class Genetics Physics...

I was wondering how it would look if someone took a W over the summer and ended up getting a B when retaking the course in the Fall? How would that be? Is it necessary to get An A after a W?

Here is the good: I have earned 42 credits, GPA is 3.905 I earned A's for Bio I, Bio II, A&P I, and A&P II. All with labs. Basic Psychology is also complete, and I received an A I'm also part of the school's Honors Program Now, the bad: I struggle with math. I did receive an A for college...

Just wondering if the prestige of the UG school matter? I mean obviously it does if you're applying to Ivy Leagues as Ivy League med schools accept Ivy League students. But what if you're not gonna be applying to Ivies and just want a decent MD school? If you attend a college that is...

Please help. I'm doing so poorly in Chemistry-the lab and lecture. I just feel so hopeless.

I am currently taking Gen Chem II, Physics I and also Calculus 2. I am considering dropping Calc 2 because the teaching style of my professor caters to Engineers and Mathematicians. He allows no calculators on exams (I've been using a calculator as a crutch throughout my entire academic math...

I'm finishing up Chem 2 this week, and 4.00ed both Chem 1 and 2 and thought both have been straight forward so far. How would I manage with Orgo this fall? Chem 2 is a lot of math and I heard Orgo is no math but just conceptual questions so whats the best strategy to 4.00 it? I have bio2 and...

What is the ratio of the concentrations of base to acid at each of the following levels of dissociation of the acid (1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 99%), i.e. if the acid is 100 % dissociated (ionised) then all of the molecules are in the conjugate base form

Hey everyone, Can anyone, preferably people that already took the mcat this year, recommend a really good prep book for chem/phys? These are both my weakest subjects since my university did not have the best professors teaching intro classes. I started using Kaplan 2015 for chem but 4 chapters...

What do you wish you did differently in preparing for MCAT? Do you wish you dedicated more time? Less time? Used different resources? Reviewed more? Took more practice exams?

Got my answer, thank you.

(From AAMC FL1 C/P #58) What volume of a 0.120 M CaI2 solution would contain 0.078 mol of SOLUTE? Easy enough: 0.120 mol/L = 0.078 mol/xL xL = 0.650 L (Next-Step Science Diagnostic) 72g NH4Cl is dissolved in 1kg H2O. What is the molality of the resulting solution? Molality = Moles of Solute /...

Any current or former pre-meds from UT Arlington out there please share your experience at UT Arlington! I am thinking about transferring from UT Austin and want to get a feel for how the school's pre-med experience is. Would you endorse it as a quality education for what you pay? If i put in...

My Exam is in about a month and I'm averaging 503 on the practice Kaplan exams. This is only because I'm getting about 75% correct on CARS and P/S, but my C/P and B/B are always hovering around 50%. I went through a thorough content review and now I'm just doing practice problems, but no matter...

If I have 4+ years of experience in the lab (let's say ChemE), is organic lab really necessary? I will have also had 3 semesters of Bioengineering lab coursework too.
