I am from California, and I have lived there my whole life. My parents continue to live there. From 2016-2017, I lived in New York and worked as a teacher while also attending graduate school for a masters in education. Since I paid taxes in New York in 2017, will I be considered out of state...

I got my first C in Orgo II last semester, and this semester it's looking like I'm going to get a C in physical chemistry as well (this class is killing me). :/ Overall GPA after this semester will be around 3.7. Any help? Thanks!

Hello everyone! I am a non-URM with a 3.7+ GPA and a 507 MCAT with a very compelling P.S. surrounding my perspective on living with a chronic disease. Additionally, I have 6000+ hours of paid clinical work and 4000+ hours of leadership in the form of managerial roles at various jobs. I have...

My school reports marks on my transcripts in percentages. When I go to convert these percentages on a 4.0 GPA scale, it's around ~2.77 (barely meets the cutoff of 2.7). Whereas if I take those percentages and convert them on a 7.0 GPA Scale (as per GEMSAS), then my GPA is fairly high ~6.3/7...

Goal is to become a physician-scientist, possibly in surgery. So MD is preferable to DO, but I will apply both. Applied last cycle (2016), got two interviews, one rejection and one waitlist. Non-trad (I think): graduated 2016 in bioengineering, have been working as a biomedical engineer since...

Hi guys, I have a 3.52 cGPA with a MCAT score ~518 (hypothetically, taking it tomorrow!) I am part of 4 clinical study/projects at Sickkids and Mt.Sinai in Toronto and in one of them I am the first author. I presented my work overseas during summer in California at an annual conference for...

How do these type of schools educate differently? In terms of residency, is there a limited number of specialties people generally get from going to these type of schools?

So I just got my MCAT score back and was not very happy with it. It is 507 (126, 128, 127, 126). I am not sure if I have time to retake it to apply this cycle, nor do I really want to. I have a 3.9 cGPA and 3.89 sGPA. I am not opposed to going to a DO school but was wondering what my chances of...

Hi guys! I received my MCAT score today (6/1 exam) and got a 504 (129/125/125/125). I felt confident in the CARS and Psych sections so I am not sure why it didn't reflect in my score, but I know I am capable of something higher. My cGPA is 3.71 and sGPA is 3.75. My activities include research, a...

Alright, here's the low down. I received my MCAT scores today (6/20) and I didn't get what I wanted (granted I was unable to sleep the night before). I got a 507 (125/125/128/129). I am Filipino American and just graduated with a degree in BIO (CA resident) with 3.65 cGPA and 3.49 sGPA. I am...

Hello, I am currently registered for June 29th MCAT. I took AAMC practice test 2 yesterday and only scored a 501. Now I am debating pushing it back to July 22 ( the next earliest exam day). I want to apply to MD and DO schools. Would it be considered to late of an MCAT? I will try to get my...

Hey guys, I'm currently on the waitlist at my top school of choice (also happens to be the only place I interviewed at), but am also preparing for the 2018 cycle in case I don't get pulled off the waitlist. I sent out my application rather late last cycle (secondaries sent out in...

Does anyone know how the new Mayo medical school in AZ will stand up against other MD programs across the country? I assume it will take a while for it to gain any sort of prestige, but just wondering if it would be worth applying to for admission in 2019. Thanks for any help!

Hello SDN Team! I am at the very end of the 2016-2017 cycle and its looking like I might possibly have to reapply. I hear back from one other school this week post interview and am on an additional waitlist, but I figure it's time to start thinking about how to improve my application. My...

Hi, I am accepted to both Univ. of Miami Miller and Univ. of Central Florida for the MD Class of 2021. UCF is home for me and very up and coming, but Miami is so appealing in many ways as well. Please share any thoughts on how to decide between both and what you think about each school. I am...

I have finished my secondary applications to about 10 medical schools during the summer. I got one rejection and one interview. I went to the interview and got rejected. It is December. When will I hear back from the other schools?

I was just wondering if I did my BSc in Canada or USA , what countries other than the US, Canada or Australia can I go to for medical school to do MD.I am an international student and I think that chances of getting into medical school into the US or Canada are very low, other than its expensive.

Hello !
