I'm looking for some insight into military medicine as a DO vs. MD. My understanding is that the two are virtually indistinguishable to the military, but I'm curious: 1) Are any residencies in the military less friendly to DOs (in general or compared to the civilian world)? 2) Is a DO...

Hi everyone, I am currently 25 years old, married, and just graduated last week from undergrad- (Psych major, Bio Minor). Having a hard time figuring out my chances and would like some advice. I did 3 years of military, one year of undergrad, took a year break due to PTSD and then switched to...

When I retake courses (Bio 1 & 2, Anatomy, Physio) at a community college, are these courses added onto to my old transcript (graduated in August, 2015) or do they start a new GPA? If it is the latter, how exactly do you factor in this new GPA when applying on AACOMAS? Also, when I took...

Hello forum! I've been a bit of a stalker for the past several years, but my anxiety has been accumulating significantly and I thought maybe I'd ask for a bit of advice. I've tried to compare myself to previous posts, it seems like a lot of individuals are in the same boat. My statistics are...

Post Bach or SMP?? I'm trying to figure out a back up plan in case I don't get accepted again. I do not want to find a different career path and am determined to become a doctor even though the stupidity of my younger years (bad gpa) is kicking me in the ass! From 2012-2014 I was a full-time...

hey everyone...I am having a hard time deciding between three acceptances and was hoping to get some unbiased perspective. I am from MD so I am more drawn to the east coast schools, and Touro-CA seems to be in an unsafe area, but ultimately I want to go to the school that will allow me to become...

Both my science and cumulative GPA are sitting around a 3.3, just graduated In college I went through some family issues, so these numbers above are not as high as I would have liked them to be. I decided to give my dream one last push and managed to score a 522 on my MCAT, a 99th percentile...

I am directionless, depressed, and being pressured (by some family, but mostly myself) to finish a program that will give me ensured, but fulfilling, employment. All throughout HS and undergrad, I thought I was going to try to get into med school, be a doctor, etc. Did not really think about...
