Hey everyone, I'm a predental bio student at UW–Madison and I've been working on a side project I finally feel good enough about to share. It's called OralCheck (oralcheck.org). You answer 10 questions based on real clinical risk factors, get a personalized risk summary, learn what warning...

I want to preface this by saying I am deeply humbled and grateful to have received an interview from Neomed. But so far it is my only II. I know people say not to freak out till Thanksgiving, but Neomed has like a 40% post interview acceptance (48% in-state according to admit data; it seems like...

Thoughts on my GPA trend guys?

Good afternoon all! I have one post in the past where I somewhat introduce myself, but I'll touch on it here for simple context. I looked around a bit, and this seemed within the norms to make a post like this, but if I'm wrong, please let me know or delete it. I apologize in advance for the...

Hi all. I start classes at USMD P/F In-House exam this Monday. I'd love to hear some thoughts on my proposed study plan for M1 year through step. 1. Watching BnB videos for associated in-house lecture topics for the day. (taking notes) 2. Watching in-house lecture at 2x speed to match...

Hey everyone! I came on here b/c I'm looking for some honest opinions on things I can do to improve my chances of matching at an ortho residency. I am a new D2, and let's just say that the D1 year was not what I expected in many different aspects. I feel like I have a handle on things now and...

would any admitted students be able to provide feedback to 3-4 core secondary essays?

Many pre-medical students have spent the majority of their lives receiving praise and playing starring roles both inside and outside of the classroom. Your commitment to success is part of why you made it into medical school, but it can also make the transition particularly tough. Medical school...

Hi guys! I am in the process of applying for pharmacy school. I just have a rough draft of my personal statement and I am quite unsure whether I am writing it in the right direction or not. Also very stressed out and worried because writing is not my area of expertise. So please let me know what...

Hi Drs, I did my exam may the 3rd in Atlanta. I did plenty of mistakes that I hope would not lead me to a fail. - Did not have the time my personal notes perfectly. Many of them had only 2 DDx and some even did not have any supporting evidence. - Did not have time to add more than 3 workup...

Hi everyone, I am in process of applying this cycle. Due to personal circumstances and things that happened in the past, I didn't perform well during my classes early in college years. Obviously I do not want to blame anyone else or any circumstances that led to such bad performance but this...

Hey All, I am building a company called YourCoinz which will allow you to sell a percentage of your future income like company shares, known as coins to be kept on a blockchain. So similar to how a publicly traded company works, we project how much you are expected to earn, say over the next 5...

In terms of clinical volunteering and research opportunities, I wanted to get some advice and ideas as to what/how medical background would benefit my credentials. I am a Rising 3rd-Semester Sophomore in College. My understanding is that most students in the process of applying to Medical...

So I have a draft of my personal statement and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to read it and give me some feedback? It feels a little short and I think my ending is a little iffy but we'll see. I'll PM anyone who comments wanting to read it. Thanks!

When I was admissions Director there were some things applicants would do that were minor, but that I found to be very annoying. Here are my top 5 “hates” that I’m sure are shared by many adcoms: 1. Asking for information that can easily be found on the school’s website Some applicants would...

Hi all, I was hoping to get some help creating a school list. I'm applying this cycle as a first time applicant and not really sure how to categorize myself in terms of competitiveness. I'm a NY state resident and ORM. I qualify for FAP but don't really think I'd count as disadvantaged. I'll...

I'm struggling to see where I keep telling rather than showing. Aside from family, two readers have told me that my personal statement is not showing enough. I was advised to make my essay warmer and more telling of my character. If anyone wants to read my essay and tell me where I am lacking...

Hi! The application cycle is coming up and it finally my turn to apply! I just finished my personal statement but I need someone to review it to make sure it sounds right. I am no longer a student at my university that I graduated from so I can no longer use their career services office for...

Hello Everyone, As the title say, I was hoping someone (preferably someone who has done a lot med school essay revisions) to give me some tip/feedback. I went through the PS reader list page and messaged the readers but no reply (I think they probably got bombarded with too many papers). So, I...

Hey folks after seeing how many credits I will have after this semester, 91, I have decided to throw in an application to dental school a year early. I will be earning my B.S. Biology degree before potentially matriculating. I attend a pretty well respected private school located in Texas known...

So I got accepted to Pitt's program and while I'm excited for the opportunity I'm a little apprehensive because I don't know too much about it in terms of what the student body and professors are like. I recently heard through the grapevine that the program is really tough and even cutthroat to...

For those in a similar situation, or reapplicants who have experienced this before, what does it mean to not hear back from schools today? In cases like mine where GPA isn't all that impressive, is "no news good news?" Or is it essentially a rejection? I woke up at 6:30am like most of you...

Hi everyone, I've been sending my ps to friends and family for input/feedback, but I'd also like to see what a stranger learns about me from my statement--whether or not it actually conveys what I'm trying to show about me and why I chose OT. Would anyone like to swap/proofread? PM me please...

Not sure where to begin, as this year has thrown me through a loop. I started off this last year a sophomore at a smaller state school in my home state, I was a member of the Honor’s Society and my GPA was 3.75. This year I had some health issues that greatly impacted my school, I went back...

Hi! So I'm taking the MCAT in May and I'm trying to figure out the best practice study plan now that I've finally finished content review (which I admit, I didn't put a whole lot of effort into due to being busy with school and ECs). I have 8 FLs (3 TPR, 3 Kaplan, 2 AAMC). Finals end on May...
