Hi! I'm a nontraditional student, beginning my journey into a formal premedical post-bacc program. I have fortunately been accepted to both UPenn's Pre-Health Core Studies program and Columbia's Postbaccalaureate Premedical Program. From my research, the programs seem to be quite comparable in...

Allow me to first say that I feel incredibly fortunate to in my current position. Medical school admissions can be such a crapshoot process, and I had very little expectations regarding how my cycle would pan out. I delved in knowing that my greatest strengths were my numbers and my greatest...

Hi everyone. I'm curious as to how "tough" Columbia is to get into and by that I mean how important your GPA is versus GRE/Experience/PS/LoR. I ask because unfortunately, I am in a program that is far from what I wanted to study (young stupid decisions...) and I lost my father early on in my...

Hi, I'm a US international medical student (3rd year) and my medical school offers us an opportunity to do an elective at one of 7 US medical schools we are affiliated with. My top 2 choices are GW and Columbia but I'm having trouble choosing between them. Here's how I see it: GW: pros: Heard a...

I have always heard that getting into schools such as Columbia/Cornell/NYU/UCLA is hard obviously but I was wondering what they think of re invention? I did absolutely horrible my first year and decided that college wasn't for me and transferred to a different college. I have had nearly or...

Hey everyone. This is my first post so I apologize if this might be in the wrong forum. I'm a Canadian student who's planning to apply to MHA programs in the US. My top 3 schools would be Columbia, John Hopkins, and University of Washington. I was curious to know how easy/tough it is to get in...

Hi everyone! I'm trying to decide between Columbia and NYU. I've been thinking on this for awhile and honestly have no clear idea about how to distinguish the two, or what really matters in terms of the "best fit" for medical school. I'll give a run down of my thoughts so far, but any insight...

This is NOT the post bac program I see everyone talking about; this is an undergrad prep program for med school. It is 3 years long, every summer. It's only open to NY/NJ residents. I'm wondering, did anyone on here apply to it? I've seen no mention of this program anywhere on SDN

Hi all. I rarely post here (longtime lurker), but I'll be damned if I'm not in the middle of a serious dilemma. I got accepted to two schools... both of which I like a lot, and I just can't decide: Keck (USC) and Columbia. I'm from LA, and my family and most of my best friends are here. I have...

Hi! I am from the Philippines and earned my bachelor's degree from one of our top local universities. I am interested in applying for premed postbac for fall 2017 and would like to start working on the required experiences asap. I was just wondering do any of you know what is the recommended...

To all future and current DPT students, I have been waitlisted to: Temple @ 12/7 Columbia @ 1/29 Widener @ 2/11 Rutgers (south/camden) @ 2/20 It's almost March, and I haven't heard back anywhere, and slowly losing hope. - Anyone rejecting their seats in any of these schools? - Has...

I saw somewhere on the forums about a year ago that those who have a GPA of 3.7 or greater seem to get a very hefty scholarship to Columbia. Can anyone verify this? And does this refer to cGPA or pre-req GPA?

I don't know if anyone else has had this with Columbia or with any other school, but my interview with P&S felt really weird. It felt more like an orientation than an interview - my interviewer didn't even ask me any questions. No "why doctor?", "tell me about yourself", "what are problems...

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone could give information on the post-bac pre-med programs at Columbia, UPenn, Bennington, Drexel, UVA, Tufts, NYU, and the University of Vermont. Besides Bryn Mawr, Goucher, Scripps, and Johns Hopkins, also I would greatly appreciate any input on other...

I am a sophomore. I got an F in orgo. My school does grade replacement, so if I redo the class the new grade will replace the F for my gpa, but you will still see on my transcript the F. My gpa is like a 2.6 with the F. I got a C in calc, too, and B's in my other science courses. But ny...

Hello SDN, Before we start, I know some of you have qualms about illicit drug use and the like. For those people, I am not a regular user, will not use in dental school, and any prior use (I think twice now) is legal in my state. Thus, please do not get in a ethical argument with me, I just...

If anyone has any insight or could elaborate on the level of clinical experience at the following schools it would be greatly appreciated! Pros/Cons/Postgrad strengths etc. (Tufts, Columbia, Uconn, Stony brook, and the University of Colorado.)

Hi All, I am looking to do my residency in NYC. I have my initial impressions about each program but I was hoping to get other people's point of views, especially from current or former residents. However, anyone with knowledge about the programs would be appreciated. Figure SDN would allow...

Hey Guys! I got an invite from Columbia for an interview & I was wondering if anyone had any advice? Just about getting around NYC and the interview itself? Thanks so much in advance. Wish the best of luck to all of you!

Hi everyone! I'm a first-year MPH Epidemiology (Infectious Disease Epidemiology certificate) student at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. I utilized this forum extensively last year for both emotional support and program questions, and it was an incredibly helpful resource...

Hey guys! I've been following this forum for awhile but this is my first time creating my own thread. I've seen a lot of good advice being given on here so I figured I'd give it a shot - I'm desperate! I'm currently in my senior year as an undergrad with a Speech Language Pathology and Audiology...
