courses

Hello iamsolemn, I am a freshman in high school right now and am taking Biology G/T and Geometry G/T (G/T is gifted and talented, above honors). Next year, I plan on taking Algebra II and Chemistry. However, my question is I am not that very good at math as I find it tedious and boring. So...

Does anyone know how remediation works for a non GDS class at NYUCD? How long do the classes run for? Are they harder/easier? Etc? Is it the entire summer break/ General overview puhweese

Hello everyone! I'm a sophomore about to start the IB Diploma Program and I'm really conflicted on what courses to take. I want to pick the ones that will help me the most when applying to get into a pre-med program (possibly at UVA.) Currently the classes I am definitely taking are: English...

This will be my second semester as a freshman, and I am planning to take the following: Bio I w/ lab Physics II w/ lab Chem II w/ lab Elementary Spanish This amounts to 16 credits, plus 1 credit for undergraduate research. Is this too full a schedule to do (including research), along with...

I will be taking the MCAT at the end of April. So far, I have access to some of the AAMC materials (thanks to the FAP program) and I have the set of Kaplan books.

I'm sure a similar question has been asked before, but I have taken the pre-reqs out of the usual order because of my major. Here are the classes I've taken so far (I just finished my first semester as freshman): Calc II Phys I Chm I Eng and Comp I Where should I go from here in terms of...

If I get C pluses in all of my premedical courses but ace every other course would I still be able to get into medical school. I.e. has anyone ever gotten into a MD or DO school this way?

Hello, I have realized that Biochem is crucial to the new MCAT, and it consists of 30% of the questions in it, maybe even more. I cannot take the biochem class at my school, and I am taking the MCAT in april. SO i am stressing out right now. Could you please point me in the right direction...

Hey, guys. I'm currently trying to figure out which classes to take before I take the MCAT without stressing myself out too much. This is my current "situation": Next semester, I'll be a junior, and I've been advised that because of this, I should take the MCAT sometime in the winter of...

Hi everyone, I tried looking for this across the internet, but I couldn't really find anything helpful. Would you recommend taking accelerated pre-reqs, for instance an 8 week instead of the traditional 16 week? They are during this upcoming fall semester. I'm thinking about knocking biology 1...

I am looking for suggestions on courses students can take live or online that people have found helpful in preparing them for the orthopedic setting. A little back ground. I am a second year DPT student on my first clinical for inpatient/ acute (half and half). I will be doing my other two...

Hi, I alreday graduated from my university but decided to continue taking courses during my summer. I found some credit-verified courses on edX and Coursera and was wondering if those will count toward my GPA when I apply. Any help will be great appreciated. Thank you!

Hello guys, I'm new to SDN and I'm glad I found it given the wealth of info on here. So let's cut to the chase, I'm a junior at my college and my science gpa is 3.17 and my cumulative is 3.2 right now. I know to be competitive I need at least a sGPA of 3.5. I intend to take the MCAT Early June...

Do any of you know of any primarily Evening / Weekend Part-Time Post Bacc programs for Career Changers other than the ones below that are do-able while working a job? So far I know of the following post bacc programs mostly Night / Weekend courses: Harvard Extension School (HES) UPenn pre-med...

A lot of med schools are moving towards core competencies, thank god, but a fair number of schools still have hard and fast requirements, including two semesters of general chemistry. At my college, gen chem is a one semester course. What are my options?

Supp Guys? I needed a bit of help with advising and the classes I should choose. I had a medical withdrawal on the fall of 2015 due to epilepsy diagnosis and short term memory loss (amnesia). On the spring of 2016 I had straight Bs due to the stupid drowsy pills I had to take. GPA is in 3.6...

I was wondering if I took and did well on my Step 1 during my first year, would I be able to receive an exemption from certain courses? Would I be able to start my rotations soon after instead of traditionally waiting until the third year? Would appreciate polite and well-informed answers as its...

I'm an Anthropology major who will have taken Physics 1, Bio 1, Bio 2, and Evolutionary biology before I graduate. However, I won't have taken Chem 1 + 2, Orgo 1 + 2, Physics 2, or Biochem before I graduate. Do I still qualify for a formal post-bacc program or have I already taken too many...

I was wondering whether they would calculate upper Math and Physics courses into sGPA, which i took when i was aiming for Engineering major?? Currently attending UCSD and took 20c(Calculus and analytic geometry), 20d(Linear Algebra) and Physics 2c(Fluids, Waves, Thermodynamics, and Optics)

Nobody I've asked seems to know. Do all types of science courses count towards your sGPA? Like forensic science and astrology and stuff? Do online science courses count towards it?

I'm a freshman at George Mason with a 4.0 GPA so far and I'm moving to North Virginia Community College Annandale because of financial complications for at least 2 semesters. Of course, after the 2 semesters at NoVa, I'd go back to George Mason. How bad would it be, disregarding grades because...

I was recently accepted into the Harvard Ext. and the Bryn Mawr post bac programs. While there are a lot of factors going into my decision of whether to attend one or the other, I am particularly curious about academic support and my chances of academic success in each program. This is...

I am wondering how medical schools view additional online science courses. I finished up my undergraduate degree in May and had some sciences (Bio I, Chem I, Neuroscience, Nutrition I and II, Anatomy and Physiology I, Bunch of Psych Classes). I am currently enrolled in a formal Postbacc program...

Hello all, I am still on the fence about my future plans, as I am having a hard time deciding which field is best for me (clinical psychology or neuroscience, both of which I would pursue at the doctoral level). I have searched this topic on this forum and read a lot of great comments, but I am...

Hi everyone. My pre-med advisor recently suggested that I take a Molecular Biology + Biochemistry course offered at my school instead of taking the two separately. This course basically combines the two subjects and it doesn't have a lab, while the separate courses do have labs. According to...

I need to raise my science GPA after getting C's in organic chemistry, would these count towards the science GPA? Thanks! (the BSC prefix makes me think it's a biology class but the descprition...not so much), If I were to take botany, ecology, zoology classes to raise my science GPA would that...

Hi! I know this is so annoying and long but I would appreciate any advice anyone has!! I plan on taking the PCAT this upcoming summer, July 8-9. If you have taken it already or know a lot about what is on it please help me decide what courses to register for to ensure success on the exam...
