My name is Jorge and I am a rising sophomore at Rutgers University - New Brunswick pursuing a degree in Economics with a minor in Public Health, potentially a double major, while on the Pre-Med track. I am very passionate about the access and quality of healthcare/medicine in the United States...

The topic of "how to fix American healthcare" frequently came up in my interviews. It's interesting to learn what are the different sources of exorbitant health care costs in America, what other countries are doing, and what reform efforts are in progress. The first book I read on this topic...

Hi there, I have shown my Dad a few threads on here and articles on other sites regarding a major and pre-med reqs. All in all, I know your major does not matter: your MCAT and GPA do. If I don't get into med school, my backup would be to be a PA or Physical Therapist. Because all of these...

I'm currently looking at going into Dental School. I'll try to apply to as many as I can but specifically looking at UNLV (in case that matters). I started into Business Admin as my major for my first year and half, but if I look into getting into a science degree such as Human Biology, Biology...

Hey guys, So I'm a (technically) MS3 taking a year off to get my MBA, and as a result of my business coursework I've been recently thinking about the different practice models in medical specialties. As a kind of catch-all the big difference I have been thinking about is between medicine and...

So I am currently a 3rd year undergrad, my transfer GPA including high school dual credit is 3.75, but from my college it is 3.87. I am a hopeful Pre-Med which causes me to not be too happy with my 3.75 transfer GPA. It is low due to the fact that I took 4 dual credit courses in high school (a...

Hi everyone! I'm a sophomore econ major starting pre med. Throughout high school and my first year of college, I always thought I wanted to go to law school. However, I got a law internship over the summer and realized that law is simply not the right career for me. I also got the chance to...

I'm an economics major about to start my 3rd year this fall. I've recently become very interested medicine and have been more passionate about it than I've ever been about my major. Unfortunately because I never really liked what I was studying, my GPA is a fairly average 3.4. My math/science...

...Because this is the only scenario in my life when I'm reading something on the computer and I won't be allowed to CTRL+F.

Hello all. I am looking to gain any sort of advice possible on dental school admissions. I have recently finished my undergraduate degree in Economics from Big State U. Abysmal 2.5 GPA. Im bright enough to have a great GPA however I did not take this serious in school. Some of my family members...

Hello all, I need your advice on what I should do with my Major. I just finished my Sophomore Year in Undergrad and currently majoring in Biology. To be honest, I am tired of the bio courses because they are not fun at all and they seem tedious especially the way they're taught at my University...

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...
