Longtime lurker but I need some perspective on a tough medical school choice. I received the David Geffen Scholarship to UCLA, but I was also admitted to Harvard. I'm pretty certain that I'll pursue surgery, and I want to stay in academic medicine. Pros of UCLA: +My family is middle class, so a...

Hi, I just got accepted into HES's Postbac Pre-med program and I am slightly confused on what the program truly does for you. I took the majority of my pre-reqs at UVM (where I have a bachelors degree), so I qualify for a committee letter at UVM, and it says to qualify for HES's committee...

I'm looking for cheap rent. If anyone has any advice on where to find cheap rent, let me know.

Hi Everyone - I've been fortunate enough to be accepted to Harvard and have full intention of attending. However, next week I have an interview at UPenn and cannot decide if I should go. I'm not worried about the cost of flying; but, I don't want to waste my time. Given I would certainly...

Hey everyone, I know that this is a thread that's been done many times before, but really want to hear as much input and perspectives as possible. First off, the total cost of school is incredibly expensive at Harvard. It totals to around 400,000 for all four years. Meanwhile, VCU totals to...

Hi! I'm wondering on my chances of getting into a good post-bacc premed program. Specifically what role GPA plays in admission. I only took a few pre-med classes in college so I'd do one of the programs where you take the pre-med courses. Anyway, my GPA isn't the highest it's a bit above a...

I haven't been able to find a thread that compares these two recently...I'm moving back to the Boston area for next fall and will spend a year at post bacc. I'm between these two. Tufts is more expensive (double) but does have a linkage to Tufts itself. Harvard is less expensive and at night...

Hi, I am stuck on deciding which schools to apply to. I am between nova, Harvard, and Columbia. I currently want to pursue oral surgery but I am unsure of which school will suit me best and all. I am currently in the nova program where as long as I keep up my gpa I am in the dental school so...

In a few years I plan on applying to these schools: UCLA, UCSF, NYU, UPenn, Columbia, USC, Boston University, Harvard, University of Maryland, University of Illinois, University of North Carolina. Looking at the USC threads I can infer that it's heavily based around PBL. Do you guys know if the...

Hi all, I wanted to get some feedback on what my chances might be at Harvard Dental School. I figured I'd just be specific to one school, since there are so many posts on SDN about admission chances in general. Stats: I have a 25AA, 24TS and 24PAT; a 3.58 GPA including both my BA in Biology...

Hello everyone, in order to set a good example for my future family, I need to attend an elite med school. My dream is either Harvard or JHU. I am looking for incredibly blunt and honest opinions about my stats and what I need to do in order to get into these schools. I attend UCR, which though...

Hello, I am planning to take physics over the summer at Harvard. Although I would like to take it at cheaper public schools, I live in NYC and CUNYs don't offer physics I and II together. I am also considering taking it at NYU as well. I saw that Harvard only has a single 7 week session so I...

I wanted to ask if anyone has had experience with Loyola Marymount University's Post-Bacc program. How well is this program perceived by ADCOMs? Are there ample benefits to the program outside of the classroom, such as research opportunities, clinical experience, etc. Is it worth the cost of...

Hi everyone, I need your guys' opinions on something. I am premed with a 3.94 cumulative GPA, but I am getting a "C" in one of my classes. I spoke to the professor and she basically said that there was no way I could raise the grade. Should I drop the class and receive a "W" on my transcript...

IMG on J1. Interested in GI/Cards/HemOnc. Any thoughts on St. Elizabeth's Boston vs Mount Auburn/Harvard Cambridge? Mount Auburn is Harvard-affiliated and has placed its residents into good fellowships, but no fellowships in-house. St. E's has in-house Cards and HemOnc, but I hear stories...

First post here on SDN, here goes nothing! So I got into a number of schools, and have narrowed it down to Harvard or Maryland (my in-state school). Harvard will cost me $71k a year (without room/board) and Maryland will cost me $45k a year (without room/board). I do like the stress-free...

I've recently considered applying to Harvard out of pure curiosity. At first I thought that there's no way that I could get in, but I did some research and have seen that people have gotten into Harvard with "low" GPA's and "low" test scores. I have a 3.5 unweighted GPA and scored a 24 on my ACT...

I mean, when you apply to Harvard, you receive a certificate from HARVARD or from Massachusetts General Hospital? 'Cause I know that Derm and plastics do actually keep the name Harvard in the program name, but seems that isn't for every specialty. If someone apply to Harvard in Cardiology for...

Hi I was curious what range of grades at Harvard Extension School's HCP generally correlate with what tier of med school. (ex. What grades at HCP would garner acceptances into a top 20 med school?) While I am asking in general terms for everyone's benefit, if anyone has any insight into what...

The professor’s job “is to teach you what you can’t Google,” and to focus on problem-solving, patient interviews, and more practical hospital situations. Our tech-savvy generation has different needs, skills, and learning styles than those of previous generations. And according to a Boston...
