As the title states, I'm reapplying to dental schools currently and the application is asking me to list all the schools that I applied to. Problem is, I applied to just over 25 schools and I'm pretty sure I can remember like 80% of the schools I applied to, but I feel like I'm gonna miss a few...
Hello everyone,
I'm joining after lurking for a while as an undergrad and while prepping for the MCAT. My path is slightly non-traditional and the disparity between my gpa and MCAT scores makes it difficult to weigh my options. I recently finished two, part-time, non-matriculated semesters...
Hey I'm re-applying to dental schools this cycle and wanted to apply to a ton of schools this time around just to be safe. I've got 21 schools that I was going to apply to but I feel like I should widdle it down a bit, don't wanna spend too much money applying.
My GPA is 3.89 overall, sGPA 3.82...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for some help narrowing down/revising my current list of schools to apply to this cycle. Most of my decision making thus far has been based on location, as I want to stay in the northeast. I've also weeded out schools that have low OOS acceptance rates.

Hey Guys,
So I'm having a hard time generating a school list for the upcoming cycle just because I feel like I'm not sure what places I'm competitive for. I am a senior, Georgia resident (taking gap year) and also African American (technically I'm biracial, half African American, half Danish...

Hey All,
Just hoping to get some opinions on the following matter;
My pre-medical advisor helped me pick a list of schools to apply to over the summer. I applied early, and most of my secondaries were completed by mid july. Today, I used @WedgeDawg 's applicant rating system and was given a...
Hello all,
First - sorry for the really long post.
I am in the terrible (self-inflicted) circumstance of not having submitted my AMCAS app yet. It is the first week of August. To get it out of the way: I know I'm late, and there are multiple family crisis/personal issues involved. I say this...
I didn't see any recent threads with a similar topic and I am an avid reader. I thought this might be a good idea for anyone else that is looking for their next book and are deep in the throes of this year's application process. (or really at any point in their medical career) feel free to add...
I am having trouble coming up with the right school list for myself so I am looking for any type of suggestions.

I realize my MCAT is on the low end for MD. I'm applying anyway because the rest of my app is very solid. If I don't get in this time around I will retake the MCAT and...
Hi all, thanks for reading. I need help culling the number of schools I am applying to.

Hey everyone,
So I just got my MCAT score back today and safe to say I was less than thrilled, particularly by the CARS section.. As a matter of fact I was shocked as it was consistently my best section during the practice exams. Either way I need to decide if I should apply outright, or take...

Hoping for some advice on my school list.
Major: Biology

Hey guys, so I've run into a bit of a roadblock. I've got 25 schools here that I narrowed my list to but I feel like applying to this many schools will just reflect poorly on my application. Anyone willing to help narrow it down? I am a Michigan resident, btw. And here are my stats, in brief...
Hello everyone,
I have been on SDN a lot but haven`t seen a post that specifically addresses my application. I was hoping I could get some brief advice on my school list based on my scores + ECs. From what I see, my biggest weaknesses are the 9 in Verbal and mediocre ECs. Trying to make up for...

Just heard back from Puget Sound ... waitlisted. But they didn't give me a number. Maybe because it'll change so much in the next few weeks? Does anyone know how long the UPS waitlist is so I can know my chances? It was my first choice...
Hi. I just wanted to how ranking multiple specialties would affect my probability of matching. For example, if I have 7 IM programs, 3 Peds programs and 1 Psych program on my rank order list, will it decrease my chance of matching at any of these places as opposed to having 10 IM programs on my...
Hey everybody. I was wondering if anybody could help me start a list of possible medical schools (MD or DO) with the stats I have now. I realize there is some information missing but any help would be appreciated. Any advice for me such as possible extracurricular or other would be appreciated...
