decision

I have recently been accepted to both SDSU's and LLU's DPT programs, and I am having trouble deciding! Does anyone have any input? Does anyone who has gone to either of these schools have any input? Any advice anyone could give me would be awesome!

Hi everyone! I was recently accepted to the pharmacy programs at UNC Chapel Hill and UT Austin & I'm struggling to make my final decision. I know they are both top-rated programs, but I was wondering if anyone could provide other info as to why (or why not!) you picked either of these schools...

Hello everyone, I wanted to post regarding my recent interview I had with WSU. At the end of the interview, some people received an acceptance right away while others did not. I was one of the few that did not. I did get a letter stating that I will continued to be considered for admission on a...

Hey Guys! I am grateful to have been accepted to both UMB (Maryland) and Penn because these are both my top choices. I received a $20k/year Dean's Scholarship from Penn, but UMB is my in-state school and much cheaper. I have a hard time to decide between these two. If any students (or...

Since the beginning of December, I've been in a bit of a bind. I received acceptances to VCU, LECOM, and Nova. Obviously, only one of them can be chosen, but I suppose it would be best to get other opinions. Despite being a Florida resident, VCU seems to be the cheapest option since LECOM and...

I recently had a pub accepted for publication, and have started a new volunteering gig. At this point in the cycle, I've interviewed at all the schools I am going to, and I'm waiting for decisions. Should I wait for a decision to send this update letter so that I have something to say if I'm...

Hi, I am a pre med major studying in a top 50 US School. Im in my senior year have taken my MCAT's and have already applied to around 20 MD US Schools. I scored a 510 on my MCAT Chem125 CARS130 Bio127 and Psych128. I have a 3.8 GPA overall (psych major) and a 3.7 BCPM GPA. I am graduating a...

I'm in a rock and a hard place and I'm just now starting to reevaluate my options. I graduated with a 2.9 GPA after double majoring in psychology and neuroscience and minoring in biology. I thought more was better and rushing out in 3 years instead of 4 would "look" even greater. I was wrong. I...

Hey guys, I'm currently going into my last year of high school, and like many people, I'm stuck on if I should pursue medicine or engineering. I finished biology a year early to lessen my workload for the last year of high school and I really enjoyed the class. In general, I just like learning...

Hi ya'll, I realized nobody has made a thread for this year so here it is... Anyone submitted their application for Early Decision yet?

Hi! I'm an incoming student at UW. I've known I wanted to be pre-med for the longest time and that's still a decision that I want to pursue regardless of the difficulty. Recently I attended advising and orientation and discovered the concept of curves. Intro stem courses at UW are usually curved...

Thanks for taking the time to read and help me! I am a senior in college with a GPA and sGPA of 3.2 and an MCAT of 512. I have leadership/ mentoring activities for a year, team building activities, 200+ hours of shadowing, some research experience and an upward trend in GPA. I was...

Hey y'all, So I kinda messed up my MCAT. 506 127/124/128/127. I have already turned in my secondaries to about 15 schools which is now somewhat disappointing. My GPA is at 3.73 with experience volunteering at an oncology unit of a hospital, a free health clinic and a national wildlife refuge...

Hello folks, I have decided to go to veterinary school in Australia, and is still in the process of deciding which offer to accept. Murdoch and Melbourne are the schools I got into, and seeing as the cost to go to Murdoch is only slightly lower, I wish to make a decision based more on the...

Hello everyone, I have been writing my secondary applications about a week now. As I fill out the boxes for both allopathic and osteopathic schools, I reflected on what I have learned about the distinction between the two. I have learned a lot about what distinguishes the osteopathic approach...

Hi All! Some background on me -- IS in Virginia (currently living in Richmond), but family all lives in New Jersey (which I take into consideration some). Really my decision right now is between VCU and GW. There are things I love about both schools, but for totally different reasons. Pros of...

Hello all, I've been lurking on this forum since I began applying to MPH schools last year. April 15th is quickly approaching, and I need all the help I can get in making a decision. I've been accepted to (among 6 other schools) George Washington University and Rutgers University, both for...

I know these threads can be common but I have yet to see one that discusses the Joplin Campus Specifically. Both schools are solid academically as far as I can tell, so that wont be listed as a pro or con. Here is how the situation plays out for me: I am from California so AZCOM has the...

I have been accepted into these two programs and am left with an incredibly difficult decision! I know ultimately it's my decision to make, but I would love to hear from as many people who are willing to reach out as possible on their experiences and pros/cons with the programs and why you...

Hello, I have recently been admitted to the New School for Social Research's MA program which is the first step to their Ph.D. program.

Hi everyone, I was recently accepted to SCCO and have been holding a seat at NECO since November. I wanted to see if anyone had any advice or insight into each of these schools. I'm originally from the East Coast so NECO is closer to home, but that isn't a huge factor for me. The tuition is...

Longtime lurker but I need some perspective on a tough medical school choice. I received the David Geffen Scholarship to UCLA, but I was also admitted to Harvard. I'm pretty certain that I'll pursue surgery, and I want to stay in academic medicine. Pros of UCLA: +My family is middle class, so a...

Hey, I am a first year at DMU, Ask me anything I have a physiology exam tomorrow but I will try to answer afterwards. Hopefully this helps people decide on whether or not to attend/apply to DMU

The individual school subform does not work for this function as people go there for specific schools rather than talk about decisions regarding multiple schools. Can we get a subform for this purpose or be allowed to debate the merits in the main pre-allo form?

Hello everyone, quick question here. I interviewed at one of my top choices last week and it's definitely the school I'd like to attend. I know that their adcom is meeting 2/28 and we are going to be hearing back the same week. Is it appropriate to send a LOI now, before any decisions are made...

As an Ohio Resident (living in Cleveland), I was lucky enough to get into both OSU and Case dental school, I know OSU is cheaper than Case, but Case is building their new building which will be done after my second year which I will have my clinicals at the new building. Which school should I...

Hi all, I'm trying to decide between Rochester, Umass, and GW. Interest in IM and Psychiatry. Leaning away from GW because they give grades during Preclinical. I'm also on the Waitlist at NYU, and am curious if I should hold out for that and/or put a bunch of effort into trying to get off the...

I really loved kcu Kansas City campus but was accepted to the Joplin campus. Now I'm just having a hard time deciding on which school to pay the deposit for Bc deadline is fast approaching. I have a few more interviews within the next two weeks (bcom/NOVA/cusom/at still soma) but will likely...

It has always been my dream to get into medical field until someone suggested dentistry instead. Now I'm reconsidering it and honestly I think I'm falling more towards on dental right now but I'm not so sure if that's truly my passion. I know both fields are very different and require a lot of...

Hey guys, So I am having a dilemma. I have been accepted to NECO around 2 weeks ago and I just interviewed at ICO two days ago. I haven't received an acceptance from ICO yet but they told us to start thinking about where you want to go if you were accepted since I only have 30 days and the...

Hi all, I have a quick question regarding how to best plan to accept or reject schools (if I'm that lucky). I submitted my OTCAS applications for the 2016-2017 cycle about a month ago. One of the schools ("School A") sent me an email saying they are currently reviewing my app. The other...

Dear all, I sought this forum to ask for help from those of you who have been in this fierce pursuit for your animal passion. I've browsed around, and while I found stick threads to "what are my chances", the potential of masters, gap years, vet techs and whatnot I couldn't find one that comes...

Hi everyone! I was recently accepted to an unaccredited program that will cost $50,000 and an accredited program that will cost $85,000. I am not sure which school to attend :oops: I was hoping you guys could tell me what you would do if you were in my position. I have lots of school loans from...
