Hi everyone, I have quite the non-trad story here. I have 2.73 gpa. I went to college at 15 and failed my first two years due to an extreme family situation. I had a 0.6 my first year, a 1.7 my second, 3.8 my third, 3.8 my fourth, and a 3.9 my fifth. I have retaken all the courses I did poorly...

Hey all, I am originally from the Bay area (went to both high school and college in CA), and have had no luck in getting a research assistant position at the UCs/private schools since I am trying to do research in a pretty niche field. I have had two job offers recently, and was looking for...

I’ve searched and searched for an answer to this question, but haven’t found anything I have lived in California my whole life. I am moving to Texas to work in a research lab at UTSW later in summer, and will apply next cycle (May 2026). I have a 4.0 and 524. I will be renting an apartment...

I am applying to medical school this upcoming cycle and will have had 2 gap years by the time I *hopefully* matriculate. Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on my school list! I will update anything as needed, but I think that most of the relevant information is in here. 1. Stats: MCAT: 524...

Hi everyone, the title is as stated. My college submits a committee Packet on behalf of the students which contains the committee letter and 3 LORs from professors. However, I have also requested a recommendation from a Dr. mentor who has zero affiliation with my college who will submit his...

Hello, I have been lurking on some of the other posts for quite some time and was hoping to get some advice. A little bit about me is that I have been in school for quite some time and for a while did not know what I wanted to pursue so my GPA took quite a hit and is now at a cumulative GPA of...

Hey, So I am a senior and applied to med school for the 2023 cycle. (not taking any gap year) I am currently at a prestigious uni majoring in engineering. I didn't know I wanted to go into medicine, so my profile is more engineering less medical, but here goes. This is the application I applied...

So given my AAMC full length scores I will more than likely not get a score at or above 500 on my MCAT and will be voiding it to retake in January. Currently sitting at around 489-491 from my practice exams which I know just won't cut it. I kept pushing back my mcat date since June and was only...

Few questions @Goro 1) How many applicants on average for your school actually have some sort of DO exposure? 2) How many applicants on average actually have a DO letter of rec? 3) Are students with DO letters + shadowing given a stronger preference? (given their stats are still competitive...
