    Been over a month and haven’t heard anything?

    Applied to ~25 schools and haven’t heard anything from 1 school sending secondary. It’s been over a month since I completed my AMCAS. I understand COVID is pushing back the schedule, but I haven’t even received secondaries from schools that don’t screen. Is anyone else in this position? What, if...

    Step 1 in 3 days, scoring low on NBMEs and UWSA1

    So I'm scheduled to take the exam on Thursday, but with all my NBMEs being in the 180s/190s and having scored 200 on UWSA1 yesterday, I feel like I will inevitably need to push back my exam. Granted while I was taking UWSA1 I began to panic and couldn't even read the questions properly/missed...

    Delay MCAT? More time needed, but means post-June 1 app (deemphasizing applicant anecdotes)

    (read bolded for quick skim) Thanks in advance for reading and responding. I don't think I am the only one with this question so hopefully others can glean something from this discussion. I am scheduled to test April 21 and it has occurred to me that I need to put some finishing touches on...

    Failing Multiple Exams, Will Probably Fail a Course(s?). What do I do?

    A first-year med student here... So I have been getting Fs on almost every other exams... I am barely passing my classes, and I am afraid that I might fail even more as the first year ends (and next year too). One of my classes has 8 exams.

    USMLE January Step 3 - score report delay

    Took my step 3 Jan 16+Jan 17. Just checked the USMLE Step 3 website, saw this joyous news: STEP 3 Score Delay: "The target date for reporting scores for examinees who test from January 16 through late April will be May 10, 2017." 4 week wait just became a 4 month wait? Ouch.

    MCAT Scores not Officially Sent = Application Delay??

    Hi All, I was unaware that when one is applying to DO schools, one must send his/her official MCAT scores directly from AAMC to AACOMAS. I know it sounds silly, but I thought that by providing AACOMAS my AAMC ID# that they would be able to see all official scores. I guess not. A few questions...
