Hi friends, I've been wanting to pursue OB since forever. I finished my third year OB rotation back in July which I loved but it turns out, six months and after the fact, my preceptor decided to give me my poorest evaluation yet (gave me multiple 4/5s and some 3/5s- no comments explaining why.)...

Hi all, Here are my clinical grades: Surgery - HP Ob/Gyn - H Family Medicine - HP Outpatient Internal Medicine - P Psychiatry - HP Neurology - H Internal Medicine - H Pediatrics - H As the name of this thread says, would these be considered "good" or "okay" clinical grades? i.e. when...

Hey everyone, sorry for the long post ahead, but I just wanted to post on here to vent as well as ask for some advice. I started clerkships 6 months ago, and things have really not been going to way that I had been hoping for. During preclinicals, I studied extremely hard and sailed through...

As you can see I am just about as average as a med student can get. Is there a good chance for matching into Radiology? I just got really nervous looking at the 2018 Charting outcomes and wondering If I should even bother. Really the only selling point I have is an H in Surgery but other than...

Hi folks! Had some questions regarding the level of applicant I am for Gen Surg, and the types of programs I could reasonably be a good applicant for. Goals wise- I'd like to head into academics in the future, and do a residency in a bigger city (mostly as this provides my SO with good job...

So I'm going into my senior year, and I'm thinking of dropping out of the honors college at my university rather than stress about the required thesis. The only time I mentioned the honors on my applications was in describing a program I did through the honors college. If I were to drop the...

Hi! I'm a rising freshman in a 7 year BS/MD program with TCNJ and NJMS. I was automatically invited into their honors program, and I accepted originally but am now unsure. Everyone I talked to in the program said it's totally useless (assuming you don't apply out and just attend NJMS). All the...

I'm unfamiliar with how the pass/fail system works at dental schools. Do you have to pass all the classes to move on to the next year? What are the honors classes like? Thanks!

I attend UT Austin and was invited into the Honors Humanities program. the program itself looks very appealing: you pick a topic of interest and create your own curriculum, you're guaranteed scholarship money--and study abroad scholarship money, and you graduate with honors. However, all...

Has anyone heard of the interdisciplinary UT Austin Humanities Honors program? https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/humanities/ I was invited to do it after admittance into COLA for BS Psyc. I'm interested in the program as you create your own major and course curriculum and they claim it offers...

Hello! How much is an honors diploma of benefit when it comes to applying? I came into University with a good amount of credit and if I want to pursue the honors diploma it would require me to retake the honors versions of classes I already have credit for + a few more classes. Would it be...

Hello. In my freshman year of undergrad, I applied to the Honors program at my school and was accepted. I stayed in the program for 2 years and then left (by not completing the requirements of enrolling in 2 honors courses per year because the honors courses were not related to my major and took...

For this section, the instructions say "Enter any special academic, service, or activity awards you have received in order of importance to you. List each honor or award only once. For instance, if you were on the “dean’s list” for more than one term, list that distinction only once. You may...

Hi, I was wondering which schools are P/F, which are H/P/F, and which are grades. I know there have been lists before but I am aware this is something that is changing in schools and therefore some of the older threads are not entirely accurate. Is there anywhere to find this information out...

Hello, I'm at the University of Oregon right now and currently enrolled in the Honors College. However, I don't really like the Honors College and would rather double major in something that I do like (which would be economics). Does having "Honors College" on your resume and transcript matter...

I completed my sub-internship at my home school in the specialty I am applying to this year. I received honors and a very lovely written evaluation by the assistant program director and another upstanding faculty member within the department (PDF with their signatures). Should I email programs...

I have a couple questions pertaining to PTCAS. If anyone could give me some input I would greatly appreciate it. I tried calling PTCAS, but to no avail. 1.) Is there a special way to input classes taken as transient? I just added the institution's name like it was just a normal institution I...

I'm currently in a rather difficult but not particularly well known Honors Program at a fairly good private university. If I decide the workload becomes too burdensome or the grades a little low, how much would it hurt me to leave the Honors Program? It will show all honors classes first...
