Okay, I'll save you guys some time and just break down the worst case scenario here - I just found out that 3 of my non-moving violations from Feb. 2015 are *not* misdemeanors (great news), but am worried that since they will still show up on a background check I will either need to disclose...

I applied to both mstp and md programs at several Texas schools. I had one interview with A&M in mid July for both programs, but nothing since then. I am concerned that a lot of schools won't consider me because I applied to both programs. Did I completely screw myself over? Stats: 3.57 GPA...

Hey all I just received my MCAT score yesterday and the initial shock finally wore off. I got a 503 with a break down of (126/123/125/129). Obviously CARS killed me. This was the lowest score I have received, practice tests were consistently in the 507-509 range, and I was praying for that test...

Hi all! I am trying to decided between these two. WC offers non-thesis MSBMS 1 year program with a 6 week MCAT prep program starting July 10th. CDU offers a 1 year thesis MSBMS and an optional 2nd year to get an MPH (so 2 masters in 2 years) with a discount on an MCAT prep course. Also withe...

Hi there, I recently got my MCAT back (CP128,CAR131,BS127,PsS130) and I am hoping for some overall tips as my school list is pretty long (around 60 on MSAR). I did better than I expected so I am happily overwhelmed, but I want to get my application out ASAP. Quick story: 1st gen American (Czech...

Hey all! I wanted to ask anyone if they know of anyone who has attended this program or themselves attended the program. I know they take 8 students into their entering class ( I am assuming this is a good thing) but I was wanting to gain more insight. Of course if you have not done the program...
