masters

I am in a master's program to repair my poor undergraduate science GPA. This past semester, I took a pharmacokinetics course and got an A, but I recently learned that the AAMC excludes pharmacology courses in calculating BCPM GPA (see red box in the top-right): This is worrisome because I...

Hi everyone! I haven't seen a thread for this cycle for the UNTHSC masters in Medical Science program, so I wanted to create one and see if there were other people applying/already applied. Been lurking on the past threads, but haven't seen any comments on the 2026-2027 cycle yet! My final LOR...

Hi everyone, I am a senior with a 3.3 cum gpa as of now wondering if I should do the UNE postbacc or their masters program. Has anyone here done one of these programs and would you recommend? I am of course not happy with my gpa and would love to improve. I have around 1500+ of dental assisting...

Hi, I'm considering applying to the Drexel COM's Master's in Biomedical Studies program and my cGPA is a 3.19 whereas my sGPA is a 2.79, both with a consistent upwards trend. I've talked to a past student of the program who told me they entered with even lower stats than me and had a 4.0 whilst...

Hi all, I am a recent graduate of the Mercer MS in pre-clinical sciences. I remember when I was applying that there wasn't really much info about the program online other than what was on their website, so I decided to make this thread. Please post any questions you have, and I'll do my best to...

Hey everyone! So.. My girlfriend had her interview with Texas Tech University's Marriage and Family Therapy Master's program on Friday, and it seems the group interview might not have gone that well. Some stronger personalities really dominated the social scene and took up much of the air time...

So I unfortunately did not get accepted into any of the schools (MD or DO) that I applied to this past cycle. My stats were a bit average, 3.5 GPA and 504 MCAT, so it wasn’t too surprising. I will be taking my MCAT again but I also applied to masters programs and was accepted at Brown for...

Hello all, I'm back with a few questions. I'll try to make this a straightforward thread. First of all, at what GPA/lack of experience does one consider pursuing a masters on the road to getting a PhD rather than just taking gap years to focus on research? Next, do grad schools pay more...

Alright so I have a hell of a story. I dropped out in 10th grade and worked as a welder for a few years and made it to community college. Real cowboy or country-boy stuff. Had to pay for community college so I picked up a second job in Orthopedic Surgery, fell in love. Ortho Trauma is my jam. I...

Hello, I didn’t apply this cycle because I wasn’t feeling confident so I spent the past year working at a dental office.

Hey everyone! I will be attending NYMC's AMP program, but I didn't see any thread or FB page/group for the program. Anyone else in the same boat?

Hello, I was hoping if I could get some advice from other applicants or from those who completed one of the two programs in making the decision. I am a non science major so I want to join a program that will strengthen my science background and, most importantly, improve my MCAT. Brown Gateway...

Hi everyone! I majored in biomedical engineering and got a 3.1 uGPA. I am going to do a SMP to make up for the low gpa. All else equal, do you think medical schools prefer a high gpa (3.9) at a very good grad school, or realistically a lower/average gpa (3.6) at a large program that uses a med...

In undergrad, I majored in biomedical engineering. During the year during which I will be interviewing at medical schools, I am considering doing a masters in Computer Science. Will medical schools view this as a lack of commitment to medicine? CS is becoming more and more important in medicine...
