I have spoken with admissions reps at top 10 med schools... Your undergrad GPA and MCAT are what matter. Not everyone gets a PhD so they can't judge your GPA for that across the board. How in the heck can anyone evaluate someone who has a PhD in physics from MIT with a 3.0 vs. a 4.0 MPP from...

Hello everyone, I am a current Biochem. undergrad student and I got into this career just because I like chemistry. I am a junior now, and I still don't know what I want to do after my undergrad. I don't even know my options. I know this is a very vague and a stupid question, but can someone...

Thanks!

A good evening to everyone and thank you for your assistance. I am a long time lurker, but first time poster. I was in contact with some of the professionals on the board of a program I'm very interested in getting into, and was advised to, "Ace a biochem course of graduate level proportions...

I know there have been previous threads on this topic but those seem to be out-of-date at this point: I follow quite a few veterinary & veterinary student bloggers (as well as having my own), but it seems most of the people I've been following for the last couple of years seem to be deciding to...
