Exactly a week before my DAT..I DO NOT feel prepared at all. Unfortunately, my financial and time situation isn't the best so I really can not afford to reschedule it again. Any advice? I've taken 3 BC tests..have 2 more to take + ADA 2009. I'm reviewing about 20 q's of destroyer each day for...

So I have a 3.3 gpa and got a 1240 on the new sat on my first try prior to studying (equivalent to an 1860 on the old one) and I plan for that score to go up after studying and taking classes. I have taken anatomy and physiology, forensics, and biology honors. Next year (im currently a junior)...

Hello, I had a question about the MCAT. I have been advised to take Biochem and Physics the same year, sounds like suicide, in order to be "ready" for the MCAT if I wanted to take it the following summer after my junior year. I was wondering if I should do Phy/Biochem, Phy/A&P, or...

Hi guys, Though I just started an account here, I have high hopes that I'll find good advice on SDN! I would like to have someone read and provide some suggestions on my personal statement. Where can I find this help on SDN or maybe other websites/communities? Thanks!

I need to get a 53% on the final to keep the grade I have. My professor said that 41/70 is a 78%, since that is the national average. Can anyone tell me what number (out of 70) would constitute a 53%? I really don't know much about this exam, and the percentiles / grading system, since my...

I planned a semester of studying for the MCAT. However, I ended up having very minimal time to actually study and ended up just sitting for the exam for th experience since I had already payed. I did very poorly, 494 with a CARS score (121), Bio (125), chem/phys (124), and psych (124). I have...

Hi guys! So I am currently 26 and finishing my masters in exercise physiology. I have all the pre recs for med school. However, due to illness and unfortunate circumstances through my undergrad years I do not feel that I am competitive enough to apply for med school. I am thinking about taking...

Just wondering.... For those who were able to get the PT degree before the DPT was the standard, if you had to go through it all again but instead had to pursue the DPT, and all the debt that came along with it, would you? Essentially, is the job worth the debt t comes with. Any and all replies...

Ok so I failed a class first semester got a 1.8 gpa. They say you can say that the failing grade was a fluke by doing REALLY well on the retake. However this class is just terrible. I'm gonna get a B- probably after failing it. IF I get a C- or a C or even a D(worst case scenario) am I doomed...

My current state can be described as shell-shocked and deeply disappointed in myself. I've been wanting to go to medical school (specifically, osteopathic - my dream school is PCOM - Philadelphia) since the 10th grade and that desire has always carried through the years. I'm a part of...

I got an F in a pre req course first semester freshman year. I got a 1.85 gpa that semester and the second semester of freshman year I had to get a W on a class for medical reasons. That semester I got a 3.2 after I retook the F for a B+ and got A's and B's from then on. Should I just apply to...

Sorry, if this is in the wrong place, it's my first time posting. I'm in a state of panic right now. I've always wanted to be a doctor, for many reasons I won't go into otherwise this'll be too long, but at this point I think it's pointless. My gpa is at a 2.8 and the highest I can get it is...

Hello everyone, Always thought I wanted to do PT, however looking at tuition costs, it doesn't seem sensible. 100k+ is like buying a house, and with cut reimbursements as well as other factors, idk if it is worth it. I am a junior exercise science undergrad, and could pursue clinical ex phys...

I failed the CK 3 times already now. I am super scared. I cannot pass this exam for some reason. I did a study course, read kaplan material and now reading step 3 material. I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please give me any advice that can help me pass. I know I am already screwed but if I...

Does anyone know where I can find more free passage based questions? I have already used Khan Academy, Kaplan, and the passages provided by AAMC.

Hey guys !! I just received my MCAT score back and I didn't do very well (total: 490). Does anyone have any advice on how to approach this and what I can do to still be a strong applicant? I plan on retaking it but I'm scared it won't help much since I'm not very good at taking standardize exams.

I have to raise my gpa to a certain number to get into the major I want. I'm considering droppings a class because it would bring down my gpa a lot meaning I would have to try to struggle next semester to bring my gpa up with even harder classes if I am still below the gpa requirement delaying...

I'm very interested in becoming a doctor and all. But I'm confused on the pathway of getting into medical school because I know it is very tough to get into. I already know that you need a very high GPA and science GPA, volunteer, research, shadowing, etc. but the question is WHEN should I do...

Hi, So I'm very confused over the current state of the NAPLEX. I think it's great news that the exam won't officially be changing to the longer 240 question version until later this year. However, that still leaves me wondering what exactly the test is like now? I will be taking the NAPLEX...

Hi guys. This is my first time here on this forum. I am a undecided/pre-health major. What I want to do is help find cures for diseases and also discover new diseases that no one has heard of so this would be some type of engineer which is what I think a bio medical engineer. Also I want to try...

I'm applying to medical school for the upcoming cycle but I hear that some people already started their applications and secondary applications? How is this possible?

Hey guys !! Do you guys have any advice on writing a personal statement? I don't have any sad/depressing medical event that made me want to become a doctor. I also don't have any research experience, so I can't write about that. For me, being a doctor is something I have always wanted, there was...

Ik getting into medical school is much more competitive than getting into a Medical tech program but I feel like I already ruined my chances. I got a C in bio, chem lab, calc. I failed gen chem 1 so I'm gonna have to retake it and get a A but will any med tech program accept me with a C in lab...

I'm going to get a bachelors of science in pyschology. Pursuing the bs path instead of ba requires me to take advanced courses like organic chem, stat, gen chem, anatomy so basically all the pre reqs to get into a med tech program. Can I apply with a bs in a non life science field since I'm...

So, my cGPA is a 3.45 and my sGPA is a 3.02. I have not taken my MCAT yet so I understand that it is difficult to give advice without this piece, but I would take a course and for arguments sake assume an old scale score in the upper 20s, low 30s. I have shadowed an MD in the field I want to...

Hey! I am a first generation college student and I am looking for some advice. I feel like everyone I talk to sugar coats it and "believes" in me, but I am looking for someone to tell me if I am headed in the right direction or if my plan is completely irrational. I currently have my AA from...

I attend a small public university. I am currently pursuing a BS in Physics and a BA in Spanish (through a unique dual degree program offered at my institution). Since my first semester of school, my grades have taken a mostly downward turn (a trend I realize to be profoundly unattractive to...
