masters

Hi everyone! I'm thinking of applying to a Master's program (to bring up my GPA) before I apply to medical school. Can you think of any biology-based master's programs that are career-based? For example, there's MSc. in Genetic Counselling, which certifies one as a Genetic Counsellor. What are...

Hi all, I as wondering how competitive masters programs are. I know you have to meet basic graduate standards with good recommendations and so forth. However unlike medical schools they dont publish average gpa and mcat of entering students. Perhaps take a Brown or Georgetown, is it crazy...

I'm a senior, I have an overall GPA of a 3.2 and a science of a 3.0. My trend in grades is mostly upward. Will be taking a gap year for sure and will probably take a few classes that will boost the GPA. I have a ton of research (some lab, some in dental field, etc), shadowing, volunteering...

Hey guys, So Im in this cycle and haven't heard back from any schools yet. Meanwhile, I am looking at applying to post-bacs and masters programs. I am having a hard time trying to narrow down the choices and pick what'll get me to dental school more efficiently. Can someone give me their...

Hello! I am currently a junior at my university, and due to an undiagnosed health condition (which is documented on my medical records) I was unable to perform well in school and now have a very low GPA. I went from making a 3.7+ GPA per semester to barely passing classes. I took difficult...

I applied to dental school last year, was waitlisted at 2 schools and did not get accepted, unfortunately. I am Canadian. I applied very late last year, around november. This year I applied early, but only recieved one interview so far, to which I was waitlisted at Dec 1. I have a 3.4 GPA...

Hey guys, I'm looking at postbac programs and I'm just wondering the pros and cons of a certificate and a degree. All I know right now is getting a certificate is faster, more directed for medical students and getting a master's degree is longer, and gives more variety for career options. I...

I'm applying to vet school this cycle and am planning ahead in case I don't get in. My GPA isn't the greatest (Cumulative 3.51; Last 45 3.24; Overall Science 3.36) so I'm considering getting a graduate degree to boost my stats before reapplying. Since I'm interested in eventually specializing in...

Hi guys, So I'm currently in my senior year of undergrad and am planning on taking another year of classes to boost up my gpa. I will be taking my DAT fall of 2017 and taking classes through the summer up until I apply in June of 2018. I will be updating schools on my final grades if needed, as...

Hi guys, Just wanted to ask for some input into my current pre-med situation. I have a low GPA ~3.5 by graduation (senior in college). My advisor says I need 2 gap years at all costs, some people on adcoms say I only need one. My question is, do I need to do a postbacc? Do I need to do a...

Hello everyone, I'm 26 and getting my Bsc in 4 months. I have a very low GPA (~2.9) due to many problems I had past 2 years in my life but medicine is my passion and I can't let it go. I'm applying for Ireland and Carib. Schools but even for those I'm sure my chances are very low. So I want...

Does anyone have experience with or know of an MPH program or another Master's program that has a focus or the ability to focus on pre-hospital 911 EMS? I'm entering medical school next year with an extensive background in EMS and an interest in EMS medicine and medical direction.

Hello, I am starting medical school next year and want to pursue EMS medicine. I've been in EMS since highschool and vol as a Paramedic/FF since. I am involved with several EMS research projects through my state EMS agency and I really think that is what I want to focus on in my career. I...

I've already applied, anyone else? I have a lot of information on it if you have any questions.

I'm applying to the MR of Physiology program at NCSU in Fall of 2017. If you were accepted, what were your stats like? What's is the lowest uGPA that you've heard was accepted?

Having some difficulty finding paid masters programs in clinical psychology. If you know of any, please post here. Thanks!

Hey guys! I really love the anatomy of the human body. I just found out that my school has a pathology assistant masters that will only take one and a half years - I will probably get my bachelors in three or less years, so I wouldn't be spending a lot of extra time in school. Do you think...

Hi guys, I have recently graduated in Winter 2015 from UCLA with Biology BS degree, however, I have a low GPA of 3.146 cumulative and 2.817 science. (I have one C- in Biochemistry so I may have to retake the course at a community college as some master's programs do not accept C-). I have great...

I am currently doing a Master's of Arts in Biological Sciences program in Philadelphia, PA that is geared to help people boost their GPA. In my undergraduate years, I graduated with a 2.895 GPA in New Jersey while 1) interning at a hospital, 2) working as an emergency services volunteer, 3)...

I am a Microbiology major who is preparing to apply for PhD programs. I am very interested in biodefence and counter-bioterrorism focused programs, but I have only been able to find a few programs. I was wondering if anybody has heard or read about graduate programs in this field.

I am currently doing an informal post-baccalaureate program, and am wondering, would it look good to go get a Masters or an accelerated nursing school program? I am looking to raise my science GPA but don't know if nursing would be a good option. I'm just trying to think of options in case I do...

Hello all, I'm in a bit of difficult spot right now in deciding how to proceed with my education, and what path to take. I graduated with a BA in Psychology from Hofstra University in May, with the intention to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I decided to not apply for the following season...

First off I do apologize on this being a "first post" on a new account. I'm actually a regular member on here, but I chose to use a new account for anonymity as I'm going through a pretty difficult time in my life and didn't want to post under my regular username. I hope you understand. So I...

I graduated with high honors by defending an undergraduate thesis and gained an overall GPA of 3.67 . My science GPA is also 3.67. I worked and performed research in a stem cell lab for 2 years and presented research at several conferences. I graduated a week ago and still need to study and take...

I am considering leaving my PhD (in plant biology- researching aspirin derivatives in plants) and pursuing an MD program. I am a 4th year PhD student. My professor did not get tenure and left my university. I am currently labless. I think I may have done enough laboratory work to warrant a PhD...

Ok so here's where my confusion comes from. I will be graduating with a 3.2 bcp and projected 22DAT, from a Top 20 school with an upward trend. If I get my bcp gpa up to a 3.5 with 1 year of post bac classes from a state school is that more than enough to increase my likely hood of getting into...

Hello! I actually a few questions. To give you some background on myself, I am a pre-dental student graduating this coming semester. My GPA is pretty low (2.9), I have withdrawn from a few classes in order to retake them (chemistry isnt my best subject), and I am graduating without...

Hello SDN! New account for anonymity. So my ultimate goal is to get into a strong academic research focused residency in order to one day have a career in academic medicine. My medical school offers a no extra time (so still only 4 years) M.D./M.S. degree where course work is taken over the...

Just took the DAT a few days ago and didn't do as well as I had hoped. AA 17, 18 TS. My gpa is low about a cGPA of 3.3 and a sGPA of 3.2. I am about to start my senior year of college next month, and was just wondering what my best options to hopefully get into dental school in the future. Post...

So when I was filling out my AMCAS in June, I was thinking of doing a one year Master's program while I apply this year. I called up AMCAS and they told me that you can put in future courses, but they don't have to be verified. Recently I decided to go against this decision and continue working...

Hello, This will be my first semester in grad school. I am pursuing an MPH while participating in the Peace Corps. 6 credits will be awarded towards my MPH degree requirement. I am told I have to take between 30-33 credits the year prior to Peace Corps. And my last semester when I return I'll...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone that has gotten any news at all regarding their application for the 2 year MBS program in IL???? Still playing the waiting game over here and constantly checking my email/mailbox :nailbiting::coffee: If you can reply below on how when you submitted everything...

I'm going to try to keep this as concise as possible despite having, what I feel, is a unique non-trad background (I'm sure everyone does ;)). Every year or so, I get stuck on the idea of going to med school. Near the end of HS, I dismissed the entire idea because I so strongly believed I was...

Hi everyone, first off thanks for any replies. Appreciate any input! I have ~3.4 GPA and a 515 MCAT, didn't get any MD interviews last cycle. Was deciding between Aussie schools and an SMP, but I think I'll give a master's a try and probably go DO before australia, we'll see next cycle...

I'm a Canadian undergrad student currently studying for the MCAT (TPR most recent score 510) which I will be writing in August and a fairly decent GPA (around 3.95). My parents are a little on my case about having a backup plan in case **** hits the proverbial fan... They seem to think that...
