Deleted! Thank you!

Hi everyone! The American Medical Student Association (AMSA) at the University of Maryland has started a blog for pre-med students! The blog consists of various topics of interests to pre-meds like medical news, famous doctor bios, medicine in film, and many interesting opinion pieces. The...

I'm not particularly interested in the conventional options available for pre-med gap years (e.g. biomedical/clinical research, volunteering, clinical work, etc.), which means that the resources available to me are also fairly limited, and I'm not quite sure where to even start. My personal...

I'm 30, and in my fifth year of a PhD program in the humanities. I'm writing my dissertation, and I *should* be done in June 2019. Meanwhile, I'm taking my MCAT June 1 and will apply to med schools this summer -- my state school is my #1 choice, but I have a short list of 5 other institutions to...

Nontraditional on a couple of fronts, just dipping my toe into the water of seriously considering a career shift. But despite the persistence and depth of my interest in medicine and medical research (over the past, say, 5 years), I've only recently started giving it serious thought, mostly...

In today’s episode of the TTP IS, we’re chatting with Jordan, Yale University graduate with a BA in history. Jordan is currently applying to medical schools. He scored a 523 on the MCAT!! TTP: Hi there, Jordan! Thank you for participating in our TTP IS! This series is a unique opportunity for...

Hi Everyone, I developed a great relationship with my Intro to Sociology prof, and she enthusiastically agreed to writing me a LOR. Does sociology count as a non-science? I understand that it's a social science course. But we didn't do any actual typical "science" stuff in the class. It felt...

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...

What do you do during your summers? I'm especially looking for perspectives from humanities majors :-)

This might be a dumb/obvious question, but since the elite medical schools tend to place a lot more value on research, how do humanities/non-science students get accepted?

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...

I am a transfer student from a 2-year junior college. My goal is to attend Med School and become a doctor. So I was accepted into The University of Texas at Austin to study BS in Psychology. Later on, I received a letter inviting me into the Honors Humanities program that UT offers. It sounds...

Hi there everyone! This is my first post on SDN, but I've read through quite a few discussions and figured I'd seek some advice on something I've been contemplating. Let me start by saying that I know it's not important to ADCOM's what your undergrad major is per se, as long as you've...

Hi everyone, So I am wondering about your thoughts on my chances of applying to DO be MD with my current stats and EC's. What do you think? -BA in Classical humanities (3 years) -BS in Biology (2.5 years) -2 years research, national conference poster presentation and published manuscript as...

I go to a school that places a huge emphasis on its core curriculum of humanities courses. Personally, I can't stand it and find these courses more demanding and challenging than the courses pertaining to my major. If for some reason I end up with a few B's (or God forbid C's) in these courses...

Hi everyone, I'm preparing to enter medical school here at the University of Oklahoma in the fall, and couldn't be more excited about it. I know it's my #1 job to keep up with the material every day and never let that slip, but I've been giving serious thought to the possibility of bringing a...

FIRST ISSUE OUT NOW: http://issuu.com/themuse_magazine/docs/muse_issue_1_fall_2015 Needless to say, I “survived” my first day of internship only to come home and have a cathartic cry given the feelings I harboured toward myself. At that very moment, I did question whether I was cut out to be a...
