Hi Guys, I please let me give you a background on this as I go into a rant on my behalf. -I graduated in December of 2014 with a bachelors degree in biology, minor in psych, I did neuroscience research with my professor for 2 years, predental member/shadowed/volunteered and ultimately finished...

Hi All, I'm in the middle of writing MSTP apps right now (have requested all letters of rec and gotten draft of personal statement done), but I'm wondering what you guys think about deferral regarding this situation... Essentially, I am thinking of applying and possibly deferring a year to get...

I applied this past cycle and received one interview. Stats: cGPA 3.51, sGPA 3.28, 500. So basically, I am deciding whether I want to do a formal post bacc program, like Penn's, or maybe even PCOM's or Tulane's MS programs, or should I not risk the possibility of doing poorly (also money...

Hello everyone! I am done with interviews finally and hearing back from schools. I unfortunately did not get into my top choice so I must decide between the remaining choices. Anyone have any thoughts on Manchester University in Indiana? Marshall B. Ketchum in Fullerton, CA? Northstate...

I am having trouble deciding whether or not I should try and do a 2 year masters for this upcoming school year after not receiving any offers this cycle. I have one in particular in mind at my current university that has been recommended to me. This past year was my first application cycle. I...

Hi guys, I got accepted to both programs and I'm still waiting to hear back from MWU's 2 year MBS program in IL since I am a resident here, if someone can chime in on their input on these two programs based on the workload, class schedules, input if they retook the DAT after completing the...

Hi folks, I'm in a bit of dilemma and I'd appreciate any and all of your opinions. I'd like to become a child/youth psychologist and have been waitlisted at a PsyD and PhD program for school psychology, which is where my interests lie. I also applied to several Masters programs in school...

Hi all. I'm going to be applying to some programs within the year for my master's, but the biggest issue I'm facing is the financial burden. Are there any current OTs/OT students on here that found an affordable school or method for paying? Student debt is soon to be hounding me and I'm hoping...

Hello, Are there any people in the Psyd programs in school psychology at Hofstra University or St. John's University? If so, would you be able to give me some insight into your experiences in the program? Thank you!!

So I applied to medical school and didn't get in. I am reapplying this year, but in the meantime I was told by someone very involved in the med school to get an mph, the issue is the program is 2 years so I can pile as much as I can in one year but I would end up finishing it while in medical...

Hey guys! So I am a little confused on what I should do regarding dental school. So I applied this cycle and did not get any interview invites but got the Creighton Wait list opportunity. I did also apply to a few special masters programs as back up. I applied to WesternU MSMS, MSBS and...

Hi all - I'm not sure if I'm posting this to the right forum because I've never posted before... I was just accepted to the psych. in education (clinical psych.) MA program at Teacher's college at Columbia U. I have heard mixed reviews on this program and wondered if anyone here could share...

Hey guys, This is my first post and I'd really appreciate any feedback! I graduated last May, and took this year off to travel/study for the DAT. Dental school is undoubtedly the goal. I have done research outside of SDN about which route to take but keep getting conflicting answers. I want to...

I am currently a MHA student in a lower ranked school in the midwest. I am, like the rest of us, applying for internships for this upcoming summer, and I would like to see how progress is for other MHA students that are applying for summer internships. I have applied to many hospitals...

Hi! So I am an applicant for the 2018 cycle and have gotten waitlisted at a few schools and am trying to decide what to do next. I think part of what held me back this cycle is that I had an incomplete on my transcript for a 400 level research class (my advisor put up the grade late) and not...

Hi everyone! Thought I would create a new thread for those attending Columbia's OT Program starting in September 2018. I was notified of my acceptance on 2/28 at around 6 pm. I have decided to accept their offer and will be sending my deposit tomorrow. Hopefully, we can share information as we...

Hi everyone, Is there anyone here who got accepted into an SMP program or is currently enrolled in one? How much did your Med school personal statement differ from your SMP personal statement? I keep seeing mixed signals online on reddit and on SDN about it, some people dont change it at all...

Hi everyone, so I am a little late to the DPT game... I decided I wanted to pursue DPT during my last semester of college. It took me 4 years of college to finally figure out what I want to do for the rest of my life. But I am really glad I finally did! With my mechanical engineering...

Hi all, sorry if this has already been posted before. I am interesting in going to DO school, but did not apply this cycle due to low stats (cGPA 3.4, sGPA 3.09, MCAT 500). In the year before I apply, I want to do either a post bacc or masters in order to increase my admissions chances. I also...

I am currently in search of good Masters program. I have already applied to University of Michigan's molecular and integrative physiology program and Boston Universities MAMS program, and I was wondering if anyone could give me further guidance in term of what programs to apply to! Thank You!

Hey there! I'm a senior at Boston University and I have a few professors/teachers who I believe can write me great recommendations. However, I want to apply for a Masters degree first, and I do not want to expend these recommendations just for my Masters. Would it be appropriate to use a...

Background: I realized very late (senior year of college) that instead of an M.D in psychiatry I would like to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology. The biggest reason being, I would like to emphasize the psychotherapy/testing patients process of treatment rather than seeing the patient for 15...

Hey guys, didn't see a thread up for this cycle so wanted to create one. Anyone get accepted yet?

Hello Everyone, Does anyone currently attend Manchester University Pharm in Fort Wayne, Indiana? How do you like it so far? Also, if you got accepted for Fall 2018, what are your plans?

Hey there! I'm trying to decide what would be the best option for me. My GPA from undergrad, cumulatively, could use a little love (however I have a wonderful upward trend going for me). Anyway, I know I would like to do a Masters program, however I'm at a loss as to which one I should choose...

I'm an undergrad senior about to finish my bachelor's in psychology (with an emphasis in neuroscience) and I want to eventually end up in a clinical psychology program. I've applied to three programs so far, but I don't have much research experience (I only did literature reviews) so I doubt I'm...

I am stuck and not sure which route to take. . I have applied to 5 schools this cycle, interviewed at 2 and was denied from 1. I am still waiting to hear back from the remaining. I have began to look into doing a masters program in either public health or biomedical sciences in the case that I...

Hello Everyone, Has anyone attended Touro's MSMHS-COP program before? If so, was it helpful? Where are you at now at your professional career? Pharmacy school is my ultimately goal, but I was thinking this 10 month program would give me an edge when it comes to clinical residency after pharmacy...

I am new to the SDN community so bare with me if this is not the right thread to post this in. I am currently a junior at a big state university with a cGPA of 2.85 and sGPA of 2.5. I know, this is atrocious but my grades are a reflection of difficulties adjusting to college from freshman year...

Hi All, I've been browsing around SDN for awhile now, and as I approach the end of my 4th year of undergraduate I have become unsure of whether I am cut out for Medical School. Long story short, I realized I wanted to go into medical school to become a psychiatrist or neurologist during my 3rd...

Hello all, I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois and I'm majoring in economics. My cGPA and sGPA are each around 3.0. I'm graduating in a few weeks and these GPA's will likely be the the same. I think that I underestimated the amount of information on the MCAT and scored a...
