masters

Hey SDN network, I have posted to ask of your insight and experience into the grad school process for a potential graduate school programs. I am currently overwhelmed with the number of choices I can follow to obtain my goals and seek some advice. My name is Louie, a graduate (2015 woohoo)...

Hi all, I am applying to medical school for the 2nd time this cycle (2017 matriculation). Currently I'm working on revising my personal statement. I am simultaneously going to be attending the UCI MPH program. Does anyone have any thoughts about the timing of my application? I had some doubts...

I'm at a small liberal arts college that generally doesn't encourage year-long research (only summer research is usually available). Based on my limited research experience, I think I would like to get an MD-PhD. I know that I need more experience for this to happen. Would I be better off in a...

I am going to be a junior in the fall 2016. I am majoring in Finance. I will be getting my master's in Finance before going to medical school. It will take two years for the Masters. I have my reasons for getting my Master's and do not wish to discuss the why. My question is: When should I take...

I currently hold a 3.43 oGPA and a 3.21 (could be 3.25 after this summer) sGPA. I am not a science major, however I've taken all of the basic requirements in addition to anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. I have 10 withdrawals on my transcript over a six year undergraduate span, hence why...

Hi I was hoping to get some insight into what people opinions where on Loyola MAMS vs Boston University MAMS. I want to know which is better in terms of matriculation into medical school and the overall experience people have had in both programs. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Figured out the program my folks were talking about was the Touro CA "Master of Science in Medical Health Sciences (COM)" program... which means this thread is most likely redundant with that other one I saw. Ignore this thread; I'll read the site and the other thread.

I'm a junior in MIMG/Microbio (Path 2) at UCLA. Currently 3.5c/3.2s with some ECs and research under my belt; will take the new MCAT before coming back for senior year. Though I can graduate in fall by major reqs completion, I may stick around to do GPA repair. May as well use that financial aid...

Hello! Long lurker, new poster here. //waves I'm a junior at UCLA sitting at a 3.5 cGPA, 3.2 sGPA (2/3rds B's, rest A's or A-'s), a slight upwards trend in all GPAs, and according to my major requirements, capable of graduating next quarter (though by the looks of it, it'd be wiser for me to...

Hey everyone! Congrats to all those who have been accepted and good luck to those who will be applying/reapplying this upcoming cycle! I am in need of some advice for my current situation. I applied to dental schools this past cycle and have received a couple of interviews but was waitlisted...

My goal: obtain a license to counselor adult populations as an LPC or LCPC. My question: what are the differences between the MA and MS in Clinical Mental Health? I have heard the MS program is more appropriate for undergrad students who already have a BA in Psychology. I have also read that...

Hello All, I have been fortunate enough to gain acceptance to two of my top choices for my medical education and I am having a difficult time making the decision. UC Davis is much closer to home (Gilroy) and my entire support network. The cost of living is much more reasonable and I liked the...

Hey everyone, To get it out of the way, here are my current stats cGPA: 3.30 sGPA:3.07 MCAT: 31 I've done a lot of searching on this topic on my own, but I feel that my case is specific enough to warrant its own post. I am currently a 4th year Psychology major and was (originally) planning on...

Hi, I have finally made a decision about what to do after college and it went from applying to medical schools directly to applying for SMPs. I have found some places I would definitely go to including the few schools in the NYC area Touro Mt Sinai New York Medical College and some in Philly...

I recently got accepted into a competitive Biotech masters program. I am on Top 10% Waitlist at one school and still awaiting post-II decision at another. If I wanted to send in an update letter to Med Schools, would that be something to include? (med School would be my top choice over the...

I cant decide! Other than the fact that UNT is less expensive, I want to make the best decision related to preparing me for medical school. What are the opinions out there? I'm open to all outlooks. Please be honest and help a me with this decision :) thanks!!

I just finished my application a couple of days ago and wanted to see how many people on this board are applying to SMPs. Are you applying to dental school this upcoming cycle or waiting until completion of your SMP?

Hey everyone, As you can tell by the title of the thread I will be applying for the 3rd time to dental school, and am hoping the expression "third times the charm" really applies here. Anyways, I would like to know what some of you who are either already in dental school or are accepted to...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone has heard back yet (I know its still early) from Rush University's Masters in Biotechnology?

Hey guys, wanted to start a thread for the entering class of 2016. I'm from Florida and pretty excited to be living in NYC & going to Touro. The masters program seems great there. Anyone else attending?

Hello everyone! I have narrowed my school choices down to University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and New York University (NYU). I've been accepted for MPH Epi in both, and I was wondering if any of you could lend some insight on a concern I have! UIC's MPH program seems to be far more...

Okay, so I'm trying to decide what I should do for the next few years. As far as some background info goes, I am currently a junior and I'm majoring in clinical lab science (also known as medical lab science), which is a four year degree where we essentially learn how to run all of the lab...

I was wondering if anyone this year has applied to this program and heard back. I have a friend who applied and was wondering how long after completion did you hear back. Also, if any current student is in the program, can you provide more insight? There isn't a lot of information around...

Recently accepted and would like to discuss the program!

Hey guys, 1st time posting so hope I'm in the right section. I am currently deciding on a masters program to help me get into medical school (DO or MD). Do any of you know how Touro California's Masters of Science in Medical Health Science compares with Midwestern Glendale, Arizona's Masters...

Hi all. I have a couple questions. I am a senior who takes the MCAT in May. Right now, my science GPA does not look very good to apply to DO schools on June 1st. I have a gap year already planned but I'm wondering the best path to take. I'm wondering if it would be better to take some...

So, at the end of August 2014, I failed my 4th term at SGU. I tried to go back to SGU, but they said the decision was final. For a year I was picking myself up, I was volunteering at a cardiology department and tried going back to school for a masters or something, no one would take me with a...

Hello. I am currently a senior who goes to NYU. I was rejected from NYU dental school which was my top dream school so.. I feel very hopeless. I am eager to try again in the next cycle but until then, I need to raise my sGPA and DAT for sure. I am not a science major (social work) but I did...

I know CEPH certification is important for MPHs and DrPHs, but what about research degrees? If I wanted to work for the NIH/CDC as a researcher, does accreditation matter as much? Would there be any disadvantages to doing an MS or Ph.D. from a non-accreditated school?

Does anyone here know about/have experience with non M.D. careers in neuroimaging and specifically, the educational path to getting there? I'm asking for my fiance who spent last year studying in the U.K. and had decided on a masters in neuroimaging, but has been thus far unable to find any...

Hey everyone, welcome to the 2016-2017 thread for the Boston University MAMS Program! My name is Mike and I'm currently a second year MAMS student here at BU, so if anyone has any questions about the program, housing options, or Boston in general post them here and I'll answer as best as I can...

Any thoughts on Regis University 1 year Masters vs. University of Cincinnati? I would like to know which program would better increase my changes of getting into medical school. Anyone who has been in either, how are the classes/faculty/student life?

I have read many posts that a Special Master's Program or post-bacc helps an applicant more than a traditional Master's. How is this so? If an applicant is initially screened for uGPA, how will exceptional grades in a SMP help?

Hello All, I was wondering if there was anyone out there that applied to these 1 year masters programs and still pursued dentistry. I recently took my dat (literally yesterday) and did pretty bad, don't ask, I did horrible :oops: My initial step is to apply to these, programs, but I have a...

Hi everyone, I would seriously like some advice. I have a relatively good GPA, science GPA included. It by no way will hinder my chances in getting into medical school. My extracurriculars are great. What is hindering me is my MCAT score. I took it three times. I go a 24 on the old test and a...

Hey guys! I'm a senior graduating in May and i'm going to try to keep this short.. Basically I started off my undergrad at a state school and started off there decent (A's and B's). During my second year my dad had a major heart surgery because of a heart attack, lost his job, and went through...

I am currently thinking about going to get my PhD in epidemiology, but I was wondering whether there are any good programs that accept students without a relevant masters degree. STATS Undergrad: BA in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry at a ranked private liberal arts college Undergrad GPA...

Hi everyone, I ultimately want to go to a practice-oriented PhD program in clinical psych. I don't have any research experience, my GPA isn't great, and my GRE scores are average, so I want to get an MA/MS first. I need research experience to get into a PhD program down the line, but I also...
