Fellow M0 matriculating into med school in the Fall. I am a traditional applicant with no gap year, and will be graduating at the end of March. Therefore, I have 5 empty months before med school starts. Original plans were to go on month long vacation and whatnot, but all plans have been...

Background: I went to a mid-sized high school of ~1000 which is just small enough for me consider virtually everyone within two grades of me there an acquaintance. It is one of the top public high schools in CA and, as I am getting into my late 20s, my cohort and those preceding/following it is...

I saw this on MSAR and was so confused. Why is the number of matriculated international students more than the number of interviewed students?

I created this thread so that incoming Class of 2022 students, like myself, can vent their anxieties about starting med school. I know that a lot of students are scared of moving away from home to a new city, immersing themselves in one of the toughest professions, and in short, adjusting to...

I am sure there are a bunch of us here with pretty low stats (either MCAT or GPA or both) who are now sitting twiddling our thumbs waiting for interview invites wondering if they will ever come. We are also probably in it for the long haul. Sooo, if there are any accepted/matriculated low...
