md & do

Hi I am new to the forums. I am just reaching out as I need help formulating a school list. I am modeling my post based off the others I have seen on this thread. I am looking to apply DO and MD, hoping for MD. MD seems a little sketch since GPA is on lower end of some MSAR stats. NY Resident...

Hey everyone, I just had a phone conversation with a dean from a DO school who made a pretty blunt statement. He said it’s impossible to get accepted into any MD or DO school with an undergraduate GPA below 3.45. For context, I’m currently in a SMP with a 3.6 GPA & 508 MCAT. I’ve got strong...

I'm seeking opinion/advice for my son. We're living in Canada. Our son has been accepted to Griffith and Flinders Universities for Direct Entry Medicine in Australia. The offer seems almost too good to be true—no UCAT or interview, and a manageable GPA requirement of 5.5/7 for entry into the MD...

Hello there, fresh PGY-2 here, and as if the stroke service and call schedule weren't enough stress already, I started looking into fellowships just to make matters worse. I seriously cannot imagine myself having to decide on a subspecialty a year from now, but yet here we are. Part of me just...

Posting on behalf of my sister reapplying this year. I’m so far removed from med school admission especially MD school, so that’s why I’m asking here. She applied in 2021 focusing more on MD than DO with a Biochemistry degree from KU as a Missouri resident with a 4.0 GPA and MCAT 508 then 510...

Hello, everyone! After being a long time lurker, I would greatly appreciate help with finalizing my school list. I have applied once before (2021-2022) and received 1 WL and subsequent rejection from Wake Forest. I understand that my GPA is low as well as my number of shadowing and non-clinical...

Hi! I plan on applying next cycle and would appreciate any thoughts. I’m Canadian & plan on applying primarily USDO and also any USMD where I can be a competitive applicant. I was semi-satisfied with my MCAT except for Chem/Phys. Also, I was thinking if my app is not strong enough, I could wait...

Hi, I hope everyone is having a great day. I am currently a pre-med and have been doing research in Genetics at my college which I enjoy so I applied to some REUs to learn more and hopefully in the future pursue a PhD after getting an MD. Got into two: University of Georgia-Department of...

Hello everyone and thank you in advance for your help. I am currently in a predicament, I am planning on retaking the MCAT May 14, 2022, and I get my score back June 14, 2022. I already have a score on file with AAMC but I'm not happy with it, so how will me applying this cycle work. If I get my...

I don't mean in the age of old. I mean in today's office 365 cloud world, where it's seamless to share OneNote pages, sections, and notebooks. If your study group all live primarily in OneNote, is it any kind of academic policy violation to literally share every page of every section of every...

I just graduated with my undergraduate degree and I am disappointed in getting a B- in my cellular biology course. The last B I received was my Freshman year and this ended up messing up my upward trend. I went from a 3.44 my freshman year to near 4.0 my sophomore and junior years to a 3.6ish...

Hi Y'all, So I was recently pulled off the waitlist for VCOM-VA and IUSM-Indianapolis. I am having a hard time deciding mostly because VCOM's admission staff were so nice to me during the process of looking for housing. As for IUSM, I am still gathering Information, I have to take a trip there...

So I'm doing the throwaway method of applying this week and using a random school to apply to. I don't want to apply to any schools I actually have a chance of going to? As a NY resident I was thinking about using LUCOM for the DO throwaway because of their dumb rules or MSUCOM for its crazy...

Hello, I am applying and wondering if there are any MD or DO schools that should be avoided in any of your opinions? And why? I know new schools are risky - are there any exceptions this year? Sorry, I keep searching for this and can’t find any threads on it. I understand this will be largely...
