So for some unfortunate reason the planets have aligned and I'm coming down with a cold the day before my exam. I spent the last few weeks of dedicated isolated from other humans but then I somehow got sick. Symptoms started yesterday evening, with a predictable scratchy throat and now runny...

Thanks for the help everyone!

To spare you the vague cliches of why I'm choosing to go into medicine at 24 years old, I'll just simply ask for some advice. Long story short: I'm attending college online (yes, from a great, regionally accredited university) and I know prerequisites being done online is a no-no for a lot of...

There are a couple of changes going around my University - which includes changing exam timetables to better suit their own timetable and make it one large comprehensive exam at the end of the semester. They are using the excuse that "it's like this everywhere else" but I don't think it is...

I've spent days going through this website seeing if I can even get in anywhere and let me just tell you its a rollercoaster of emotions. There are people with high GPA/high mcat that don't even get into DO schools and other people that get into all of them. I don't even know how to begin...

So I am still on the wait list for UF, but I like to know and hash out all possibilities. For people who have been though this before and didn't get in their first time, what did you do during the year off? I was thinking about working as a Vet Tech, but I don't know if I can because I didn't...

Hey ya'll: So long story short, I've been in college for several years and decided I wanted to do medicine 3.5 years ago. Since then, I have averaged a 3.7 GPA and have a sGPA of 3.65. I've done tremendously well and worked very hard. I plan on taking the MCAT this summer (Summer 18) and...

Hi I was wondering if the academic update made a difference whether you submitted after summer classes or after fall semester? I think the only downside of my application is my GPA so should i take a lot of summer courses and get those in or wait for after fall and submit those grades with my...

Bear with me, this might get a little lengthy. A little backstory may be useful, so I'll start at the beginning. I'm currently a sophomore at a less than stellar college--Ferris State University. However, I started my college career at Grand Valley State University. I was a freshman, pre-med...

Mistyped--can't/don't know how to delete. See my repost.

I posted this in the Pre-Med DO thread, and don't know if it probably should be here instead. So I applied this past cycle and have only received one interview (TouroNY) and was waitlisted for an interview (Touro-Nev). I have not heard back concerning the interview, and this late, I do not...

So I applied this past cycle and have only received one interview (TouroNY) and was waitlisted for an interview (Touro-Nev). I have not heard back concerning the interview, and this late, I do not expect good news. My stats were cGPA 3.51, sGPA 3.28 (upward trend), 500, and OOS. I have 100+ hrs...

Hey guys. I'm a little freaked out - this whole time, I've been preparing for the dental route (started shadowing, learned terminology, did some assisting with my dad's friends), even choosing a college that has an articulation program for dental, but not for medicine. After a month of hard...

Hey guys, this is my first post on here but I just wanted to get some advice. I was fortunate enough to receive an acceptance to AZCOM this cycle and a waitlist at NYITCOM, but circumstances that have come about recently have made it in my best interest to not go to med school far away (I am...

Hi! So, I am a freshman biology major and one of the things that I wanted to do was to ask for advice/ feedback about how I am doing as a pre-medical student in my freshman year. (and anything else that I could do to make myself a competitive applicant). I currently have a 3.94 GPA and my...

Hey guys, Quick question for those of you who attended as non matriculating students, did anyone of you have to retake courses you took in undergrad? Like lets say you completed Chemistry in undergrad, but you plan on taking Orgo I & II, after graduation, did you have to retake the chemistries...

Hi, im planning on applying this coming cycle. I have taken ochem lectures but not the labs because i have transferred twice. I dont know many schools that require all the pre-requisites to be complete prior to applying. Other than like Ohio State which requires 9/13 requirements prior to...

Hi, I am currently finishing up my last semester of my sophomore year of undergrad. I attend a community college in Alabama, and I am going to transfer to the University of South Alabama this fall to start my junior year. It looks like my gpa is going to end up being 3.93(best case scenario) or...

I would love some advice here.... I currently need to decide between New York Medical College and Albany Medical College. Any thoughts/advice? I like that AMC is a part of a large medical center, although the old facilities and less than stellar interview day concern me. NYMC seems to do a...

So I am currently a student at the University of Maryland. I transferred last fall (fall 2017), and am a third year undergrad. I was a comp sci major at my old institution, and I did enjoy my time in comp sci, but when I transferred I decided I wanted to be "pre-med" and spent my first two...

Hello everyone, My first freshman year was embarrassingly awful, I was irresponsible and partied way too hard. During the second semester I decided I was going to enlist because i saw what I was becoming and needed some discipline. I enlisted, served for 5 years, and separated with an...
