freshman pre med

Hi, I’m kinda looking for some advice. I’m a freshman in college and I’ve been set on doing medicine since I was probably in middle school. Part of it is because my dad wants me to but I also just so happen to really do like and enjoy medicine. And I find that I’m really good with biology and...

Hi! I am an incoming pre-medicine freshman at Johns Hopkins as part of the class of 2024 and I'm planning on double majoring in chemistry and biology. I've been, of course, heavily researching what to prioritize as a pre-med student and everything that I need to focus on throughout the next...

Hello, I'm an upcoming freshman pre med at a state university. Right now, I'm looking at 19 credit hours my first semester. Is this doable? I was wondering if anyone has done this and succeeded. Bio is supposed to be a hard course at my university, but I'm better at bio than chem. My course...

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well during these trying times. I need some advice. I am going to be an incoming freshman at Michigan State University for the fall semester of 2020. Going to med school is my dream. I am planning on majoring in Supply Chain Management (#1 program in US) because...

Hey guys, so most likely I'm going to end up with a 3.3-3.4 GPA for freshman year. I started off really bad with not really studying, and the second semester I stepped it up. I've taken Bio 1 and currently taking molecular genetics and have taken both gen chem 1 and 2. Calculus 1 and 2 I've...

I am a First Semester Freshman who is about to start up school again in 2 weeks, and I just got an email from my academic advisory saying that I need to retake Principles of Biology 1 in either this Summer or in the Fall Semester (Have a D+ while the grade to pass is a C-). Being from fresh...

Hi again! I was wondering how do top tier schools view undergrads taking courses such as english, calculus, and history at community colleges or during the summer?

Hi everyone. Right now I'm projected to end my 1st semester of freshman year with a 3.5 gpa. I was struggling to find good study habits and it impacted my grades (any tips?). I know I still have 2nd semester to improve my overrall freshman gpa (striving to maintain all A's to bounce back) but...

So I am in a community college and I am hoping to transfer May 2020. Next semester, I am schedule to take Physics 4A (calculus based), Chem 1B, Botany (Bio), and Calculus 3B (calcu 2). Also, possibly a general ed course that is worth 3 credits too. All the sciences have a lab. I am a freshmen...

Hello all, I am currently taking a statistics course as a freshman student, and I've heard medical schools and medicine in general use A LOT more of statistics than calculus. Should I take biostatistics next semester or take calc 1 and be done with my math prereqs? The biostats class is geared...

I will be an incoming freshman with an associate's degree, so I feel like I need to step up my game to get into medical school. Since my university requires a completion of prerequisites to participate in undergraduate research for academic credit, I could wait to do research for the following...

Hello! I'm an incoming freshman and I was wondering how college placement tests work and do they affect your science GPA. Backround: I scored 650+ on my SAT Math score. This allows me to skip Math 1B (Pre-Calc) and automatically places me Math 2A (Single Variable Calculus) Now depending on my...

I will be starting as a freshman at UCLA this year and I have heard many terrifying rumors about the competitiveness and weed out classes. Any advice from other Pre Meds as to how to overcome this competitiveness? Tips and Tricks would be greatly appreciated. Im also stressed about when to find...

Hey guys. I'm a little freaked out - this whole time, I've been preparing for the dental route (started shadowing, learned terminology, did some assisting with my dad's friends), even choosing a college that has an articulation program for dental, but not for medicine. After a month of hard...

I am a current high school senior in California, and I was lucky enough to be accepted into UCSB (honors), UC Davis (regents), UCLA, and Case Western Reserve University. I'm having trouble choosing between these four institutions. Any help would be much appreciated :) SB: pros- - easiest of...

Currently a freshman undergraduate student aspiring to become a physician specializing in emergency medicine. Recently, I've become discouraged with myself because I can't seem to pull off grades that would boost my GPA above a 3.0. During my first semester of classes, I had 2 B's, 1 B-, and 1...

So, last semester I got mainly A's and one B. I withdrew from chem I and am taking is this summer along with chem II. This semester I can already tell I'm going to screw up calculus, probably get a C. Would it be better to withdraw from calc or retake it? How do med schools view this? My goal...

Hi, new poster here :). I am a college freshman at a low-average state university (~200 ranked), and my major currently has yet to be declared (I'm most likely going to choose Biology or Chemistry as my major). I am currently taking 15 semester hours in the fall of 2017, and am enrolled in one...

Hello, I'm sorry if this is long. I'm having a hard time right now. I am going to start my first semester of college in a few days, and it's currently add/drop.

Hello. First time poster for what it's worth. I will be an incoming freshman to a smaller, private, liberal arts college this fall. I plan on pursing a career in the medical field, with my ultimate goal to be a doctor. However, I am concerned about the work-life balance aspect as having a large...

Incoming freshman desiring to review biology before taking intro bio in the fall. I hope to start the class as sharp as possibly, hopefully increasing my chances of an A. The last bio instruction I recieved was about 3 years ago so I would be basically taking intro bio in a rusty state. That...
