masters

Hey Everyone! It's been a long time, hope you are all doing well. I wrote a forum on the nontraditional section, but go no response as of today, so I thought that I might try writing one on this forum, since, from my personal opinion, a lot of pre-meds know much more about the process. I am...

Greetings everyone, I was accepted into Rutgers University MBS program at Piscataway. I was wondering if anybody else accepted and are going to this program? Has anybody completed this program and have any tips or want to talk about their experience? THANKS!

Looking for some input from adcoms on whether or not this is a good program for someone who has a low GPA (2.9 to 3.1) but decent MCAT 510-512. Is this worth it or a waste of time? All input is appreciated. Here's a link New Program - University of Houston Program Overview The Department of...

I'm a non-Canadian international student looking to strengthen my science GPA before applying to US med schools. I plan to apply after completing a Master's program. I have 3.51 uGPA, 3.46 sGPA from a top ten university in the US (notorious for grade deflation), and 501 MCAT (retaking). I felt...

Hey everyone! Here is my background: ~3.4 cGPA (life Sci- years; 3.7 in 4th year, lower in other years), completed my bachelor of education degree right after, however this degree was pass or fail, so no grades and strong ECs (a range of things, been committed to a few for a while). Writing the...

I was accepted to an md program off the waitlist at a school I really don't want to go to (for a lot of reasons, location, school, ect.). I know, looking back, that I should not have applied there, but I can not go back and undo it and now I am accepted. As a backup plan while waiting to hear...

Okay, (this is my first post on SDN so I apologize if I'm a bit ignorant to finer details of posting etiquette) I recognize with massive clarity that I'm in a horrible situation, and I'd really appreciate some advice. I've finally mostly, gotten past the sad stage and now I just want to improve...

Hey everyone! I haven’t seen a thread for Wayne State yet and thought I’d get things going. I applied back in early March and was accepted to the program 1 week ago.

Hey Pre-med family, hope all is well. I just have a quick question. I got accepted to the GeorgeSquared post bacc program but i was wondering if a DIY postbacc (30 credits) would be just as good to get me looked at for most DO schools and maybe low-tiered MD schools (if successful in post bacc &...

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...

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, 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 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...

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...
