masters

So, I'm a freshman and looking to graduate early right now. I'll be class of 2019, though I was supposed to be 2020. So, I'm thinking if a post-bacc or a grad degree would be the best course of action? I don't want to apply to med school next year, so that's not an option. I had some...

Are there any current or former students that can provide insight into this program? Have students from this program been successful in obtaining acceptance into PA or MD/DO school? This program is relatively new and I am having difficulty finding any information about student experiences in the...

Hi guys. So currently, I have just finished my junior year of undergrad. My current but yet horrendous stats are cGPA: 2.75 & sGPA: 2.40 Unfortunately, all the pre-req's I have take that are required for PA school, I have received Cs in. I really want to become a PA, but I know how hard and...

I'm looking into pursuing a master's program before reapplying to medical schools. I applied to both MD and DO schools after my third year with a 3.2 cgpa, a 2.9 sgpa, and a 504 on my MCAT (will probably take again), and I just graduated with a 3.4 cgpa and a 3.1 sgpa. I applied to and was...

Good evening, So I would like some advice on Dental school. My undergrad GPA was a 3.01 I had bumps and paths finishing strong because my rents were in and out of the hospital. I went and got a Masters in Community Health and did my Thesis in Oral health at Midwestern University. My Grad GPA...

Hey all, I applied last year to MD programs to no avail. I have a bad gpa (3.17) in BME from Stanford, but 518 MCAT (Apr 2016). I have been applying to post bacc programs but haven't got into any, so I am thinking of doing a DIY post bacc. However, I also got into 2 masters programs - one in...

Hi! Right now I am set to graduate from Undergrad a year early. I'm really not sure what the best route to take is. I have currently taken 43 credits and my gpa is a 3.75. I'm really not sure if it'll go up or down since I have a majority of science classes left to take. Please help me out. I'm...

Hey all. Trying to get a grasp on SMP/master's ideas before I come close to graduation. I know traditional SMPs are akin to the first year of M-1 curriculum, and other master's in medical science/biomed/physiology are also popular, but is there any truth to my thinking that it would be better...

If I'm interested in behavioral neuroscience or neuropsychologist, what undergraduate classes are advisable? I've searched around a bit and found that it's advisable to follow neuro-psych/bio classes, but my university only offers two classes that fall into that category (one is a psychology and...

Hi all, I am looking for advice on Masters programs that look great for vet school but also allows a Plan B if vet school doesn't work out. I am currently studying Animal Science in undergrad. I had a meeting with an advisor at the vet school I am interested in, and he recommended to me a...

Hello all! I was hoping to get some light shed on a few questions I had about JHU's MHS and Ph.D program in Epi. I can't seem to find my answers in the handbook they have online. If I'm admitted to the MHS program, can I internally apply for the Ph.D program? If I'm admitted into the Ph.D...

Hello everyone...! I am a Masters by research student doing cancer research. Is there anyway I can become an oncologist and still continue my research? If so what are the steps that I should be taking? Thank you.

I'm interested in doing a 1 yr masters program and just wanted your feedback on which in your opinion is better. I'm currently looking at Tourocom and Rocky vista. I'm mostly interested in these two because they don't require you to retake the mcat. (However, feel free to suggest any other...

Hey guys and girls, My first app cycle was unsuccessful, but I'm not letting it get me too down as I've completed some new apps for different BMS masters programs. I've applied to: BU-Oral Health Sciences NYU - Oral Biology Rutgers BMS Tufts BMS Wayne State BMS Nova BMS George...

Hello Non-Trads, Please help. I have applied to med school twice to no avail. My grades are too low (3.0/ 27 MCAT) and although I have tons and tons of experience, nobody seems to care. I have accepted that is a numbers game and nothing else weighs as much (highly disappointed by this). Let...

Hi Everyone! I've just recently been accepted into Teacher's College, Columbia University Motor Learning masters program. My ultimate goal is to obtain my DPT and end up becoming both sports performance/orthopedic rehab specialist. I finished my undergrad last summer and decided to take the...

I applied and was interviewed for a PhD program at my top school with my top adviser and was offered an unfunded Masters slot. Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed at this and feel like it's a constellation prize. Still, I'm seriously considering accepting the offer because the work done in...

Hi all, I currently have a sub 3.0 gpa (2.8s 3.0c) with retakes. Obviously, with DO grade replacement gone, I think my only option is to do an SMP or Masters program. However, I haven't been able to find quality programs that accept lower than a 3.0. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in...

Hey everyone! I've been admitted to Trinity University Health Administration (MHA) program, Georgetown Health Systems Administration program, George Washington MHA, and NYU Wagner Health Policy & Management program. Since I am from San Antonio, I am currently deciding if I want to stay here and...

I am getting my MS in Michigan and will graduate next year with 45 credits, 750 practicum supervision hours, and completed BCBA supervision. 1. What can I do to get Oregon psychologist associate licensure? Will I have to take more classes/hours? (Is it advised to just stay in Michigan?) 2. What...

I want to start by saying I know there was a similar thread posted here but school counseling never seemed to be adequately addressed on that thread. I just wrapped up a series of applications to clinical mental health counseling programs across the country (NJ,OR,RI,VA,NC). Unfortunately, I...

Do y'all think having a master's in biology will help when applying for residency programs, generally? I'm curious as to if it's worth not having a summer break before I start dental school in late July.

Has anyone been accepted to the 2017-2018 class yet? I applied, and still waiting to hear back!

Hello SDNers! As application cycle is coming to a close, I'm afraid it's time to consider how to prepare for the next cycle in case this one does not work out. Out of the 9 schools I applied to, I have interviewed at 2 (One pre dec, one post dec) and am waiting to hear back from both. I have...

Hey guys, Are there any post bacc/masters programs that are only 2 semesters? I need to bring my GPA up a bit, but don't want to go to school for another 2 years if i can avoid it so I can apply again as early as possible. Any knowledge about these schools would be hugely appreciated!

Hey guys, So I'm working on some masters/post bacc apps and I am in a small dilemma. The essay portion isn't really a personal statement but a goal statement. Obviously, part of this portion is for the committee to evaluate your writing skills. But, should I be dragging the goal statement to...

Disclaimer: I know a ton of these exist and I truly apologize. I've read so many but I'm still stuck. I am a recent graduate and I completed my undergrad Biology degree with a cumGPA of 2.75 and a sGPA of 2.7. Clearly my GPA is awful and I attribute it to laziness along with culture shock. I...

So I know from reading other postings that Dartmouth is a nontrad/redemption school, but I was wondering if anyone knows exactly how they factor in SMP/graduate gpa when evaluating an application. Do they replace undergrad gpa, average, or just look at it along with all of the other information...

Hey all, just opening this thread to see who else is applying to this program for this upcoming year!

I am currently a psychology undergrad. I plan to apply for my masters before medical school. However, I am still thinking about whether I should go for a masters in social work or psychology. My goal is to specialize in psychiatry...I don't know if that influences either choice. What is more...
