Hello, So I'm currently having a mental breakdown because I think I majorly screwed up my chances for med school. I graduated with a BA in Biochemistry and BS in Molecular & Cellular Biology. I graduated early, in 3 years instead of 4 (most people advised me to graduate rather than stay.) My...

Sorry for the long post but I really just need advice! I'm going to be a Junior at Tulane in Fall 2018. I am a neuroscience major. I had a very rough past semester (second semester sophomore year) because of extenuating circumstances (had to work extra hours because mom lost her job). My GPA...

Hey everyone I was looking through TCD medical school and at their admissions requirements and I am confused I have posted a picture for some of you to see. I dont understand what it means by "O4/H7" or "3H5s" and it would be great if someone can help shed some light. I uploaded an image link...

Took the MCAT on May 5th, came out feeling kind of bad but I knew that was normal so I took some time off of studying (I studied for 5 months while also take 14 hours and doing research). Got my score back yesterday and got a 499 (125/123/126/125). I have a 4.0 GPA (total and science), I have...

New to SDN, so if I am posting this in the wrong place please let me know! Long story short, USA and Canadian MD and DO medical schools are out of discussion because of the obvious reasons of GPA / MCAT and so on. I know going abroad will be harder and risky but, in a quick response please let...

I currently a student at UMD College Park, Neurobiology &. physiology major. I have a 3.1 GPA, 75 PCAT, honors college student, and I work as a research specialist in a lab. I was wondering if I even have a chance applying to early decision at UMB Pharmacy School- considering I have no pharmacy...

Hi! First time posting here! I attended University of Toronto in Canada and am applying to MD/DO schools. Is there a grade conversion scale for DO schools? I know for AAMC says there is an grade conversion (I can't include links since I'm new) lol The one similar to my school is #85. I was...

In 2012 (way before I was even considering med school), I attended a technical college for a marketing diploma. I ended up getting a great job opportunity and left, but didn’t drop my classes correctly, so I made 4 F’s. I’m back in college now, 5+ years later, and have a 3.85 (looking to improve...

Hello all, Im seeking advice on possible MD schools to apply to the 2019 AAMC application cycle with my current stats. As of right now, my application looks like: A female, Hispanic, FL resident with a 2.9 GPA (with noticeable improvement in grades over time), 510 MCAT gap year working as a...

Hi there! I've been looking around for a solid answer and seem to be getting mixed results. Is the sGPA all science grades averaged (science electives included) or is it just the courses required for medical school (general bio and chem, orgo, physics, statistics, and calculus)? Thanks!

Hi All! I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice regarding my situation. During the first few years of my unergrad career, I underwent a serious illness that impacted my ability to perform in class. I didn't include this in my personal statement, because it honestly was not the most...

My cGPA is a 2.99 and I need six more units of A's to get it above which i'm taking ~June 15- August 28, so the grades won't be in in time to raise me above the "3.0 threshold". By comparison, my sGPA is a 3.85 and postbacc gpa a 3.95 and my MCAT practice scores were 512-515 and I should receive...

Hello, Going to be applying to schools in the fall. Haven't been able to consolidate the information on which programs (both PhD and PsyD) look at only the last 60 credit hours for the undergraduate gpa.... Bombed freshman year courses, but did well in my classes all other years. I know...

Hey everyone! So my spring semester finals just got graded and my GPA trend thus far has been (Freshman) Fall 2016: 2.961 (Freshman) Spring 2017: 3.574 (Sophomore) Fall 2017: 3.75 (Sophomore) Spring 2017: 4.00 cumulative: 3.562 Assuming I keep a pretty high GPA the next two years (around...

Dear SDN, This week has come with some bad news. I realized that 1) Due to financial constraints I will be able to apply to max 9 schools. FAP not an option. 2) My cGPA will appear a full point lower than I thought. My school transcript says 3.6, but because I have so many A+s in my last...

Before I get into this I want to say please forgive my ignorance, I have a 3.6 cGPA but given that I have many A+s in my last two years, my AMCAS calculated cGPA is 3.53. For all intents and purposes will I be judged as a 3.53? Lets say I get in somewhere - when the medical school reports...

Hello, I was wondering if I should transfer schools or stay in the university I’m going to start this next fall. I’ll be entering Kean University for their Pre-Med program and most of the courses offered there aren’t offered in many other schools. I’m trying to get into my dream medical...

I am currently starting my second Summer here at my university in Texas getting ready to enter my junior year as a Pre-Dent. With as much excitement I am feeling towards my future, I have concerns and worries as well. With all the concern, I have multiple questions I would like to ask everyone...

Hey everyone I have not started doing full lengths but I will soon. How many Full Lengths do you think I should squeeze in before my Exam (August hopefully)? Also, I know AAMC has a couple of full length exams but where else would I be able to purchase more full lengths realistic to the MCAT...

Hey guys, I am struggling to make a proper decision in regards to my career path. I will be a fourth year in the fall, and in order to apply this cycle I need to take my MCAT soon and apply (probably late, which will make my chances much slimmer). I was recently diagnosed with ADHD, and up...

I've seen this discussed a few times but was just wondering what the general consensus was. I've heard that some dental schools don't really factor in the difficulty of your undergrad school when looking at your GPA. Is this true? For example, would a 3.60 at a top 10 private school be...

hi, I am hoping to get some feedback about how good or bad of shape I’m in in terms of setting myself up to get into med school. I have just finished my sophomore year of undergrad. I have attended a community college for my first two years. Now that that is done, I will be going to a local...

Hello, I'm planning for my spring classes, but I'm in kind of a dilemma. This is my schedule for Spring 2019 semester before I take the mcat: Spring Semester Spanish organic lab physics II Biochemistry genetics Research I want to take a lighter load to study for the mcat (13 credits), but I...

(this is in context as an ORM) Is the 0.01-0.19 increase in GPA is even worth it in med admissions eyes if you're an ORM? I'm asking because I want to make sure I'm budgeting my time well between ECs and GPA for my remaining years in undergrad and don't know whether I want to take on a few...

Is it feasible to do this if I want a head start in premed and want to get into a top tier med school? Is it a waste of time to attempt this? Are there better resources? Should I spend time trying to get (more) AP credits? I feel like I performed sub optimally in high school and missed my shot...

I finally have my GRE scores and can make decisions about where to apply, but I have a significant disparity between my GPA and GRE scores. My cumulative GPA is a 3.5, my pre-req GPA is a 3.8 and last 60 GPA is about a 3.67. However, my GRE scores are a 162Q and 162V. Are schools likely to...

Last cycle, I was severely undereducated about the application process. Thus, I am trying to figure out the complete logistics for my upcoming application. I aim to keep my expectations realistic. This past cycle, naive me, decided to apply to all the medical schools in TX (in September) with a...

Hey all, I graduated last year with a 3.07 cGPA and 2.87 sGPA. I read a plethora of other posts similar to mine and saw Goro's tips on reinvention. However, I wanted to make this thread to get some personalized advise. I am planning on doing an SMP or post-bacc classes. If I get straight A's...

Hi all, I'm trying to set up an excel sheet for myself so I can tell which DO programs I could realistically get into. I'm having trouble, however, as most of the schools' websites post the minimum GPA & MCAT scores needed to get in, not the average accepted scores. Does anyone know if there...

i know my final sGPA is gonna be either a 2.95 or 3.01sGPA, after this semester.. my oGPA is a 3.3, and i was wondering if it makes a big difference? My first 2 semesters sGPA was a 1.9 and 2.6, so I’m on a big upward trend.

Hey guys! I just wanted to get some opinions about my chance of getting into Texas MD programs. I have a 3.55 GPA, 3.4 sGPA, and MCAT of 500, which I know isn't ideal. I have 300+ hours of community service including the local free clinic, 500+ hours of clinical experience (I am a scribe in an...
