Hi, I am wondering how much shadowing an ophthalmologist would help my application for medical school?

Hi everyone, I am still an undergrad (starting my junior year in August). I am interested in a few different fields of medicine ( I know this can very well change in med school, but for now I am simply curious and want more info). With psychiatry, is it common for psychiatrists to practice and...

As I am pre-writing secondaries, this question popped into my head and I think would make for a good discussion. With every medical school boasting about their "unique" mission statements, us applicants must find ways to tailor our applications to fit the missions of the schools. It seems most...

This is my first time posting on SDN, and I am looking for some help. I just graduated college this May. I have applied to MD schools the last two cycles and I have only received an interview at my state school each time. On the bright side, I was waitlisted each time. However, I am now staring...

What's up everyone, thanks for taking the time to glance at this. I would like some advice on my chances at DO schools as well as help with a realistic school list. my general metrics are: 24 year old white male from New York. 504 MCAT, 126 C/P, 124 CARS, 127 BIO, 127 PSY. Taken once, May...

hi everyone, I am not taking classes this summer and will start my junior year this fall. I want to do some shadowing this summer, but I am having problems with actually finding doctors who want to do it. I’ve called several neurosurgeons, multiple private family medicine practices, and a...

Hello all! I'm in a pretty tough situation and wanted to seek the advice of the wonderful /premed community. I am a Caribbean medical student and am not doing well. I did not pass first semester and currently am attempting to repeat the semester but will likely not pass this time either. I will...

Hey everyone, I graduated with BS/MS in 2016 with a combined GPA of 3.05. Took my MCAT in 2017 with little to no preparation and scored a 488. It's a horrible score, I know. It seems like everything is going wrong for me and that there's no chance to being admitted to medical school. For the...

Hey everyone, so i recently graduated from a public ivy in VA and these are my stats: non-science major and minor, ORM cGPA 3.55 sGPA ~3.2 but inflated just cause I took physics in the summer at an "easier" 4 year institution a lot of nonclinical hours through volunteering but I've been...

Thank you for taking the time to look my post. I appreciate any input into helping with my school list. I have used a combination of WedgeDawg, Lizzy M, and the MSAR report to decide on MD schools. I will also be applying to DO schools at a later point, as an MD re-applicant. My application is...

Hello, So I'm currently having a mental breakdown because I think I majorly screwed up my chances for med school. I graduated with a BA in Biochemistry and BS in Molecular & Cellular Biology. I graduated early, in 3 years instead of 4 (most people advised me to graduate rather than stay.) My...

Hi all, wondering what my chances are here for getting into either a DO or MD school. Im a virginia native, my undergrad gpa was a 3.2 with a science gpa probably slightly lower than a 3.2. I recently finished a post bacc program that I was thought I was ready for but was not as I did my...

Hello everyone! I am going to be a Junior in the Fall and will be taking Biochem I. At the college I attend, Biochem I is one of the toughest classes haha. I was wondering what advice you guys have for studying Biochem? Those of you that did well in it, what should I go in expecting? Lots of...

So I'll be able to graduate a semester early once I complete the Fall 2018 semester. Assuming I get all A's I'll graduate with ~3.56 cGPA of 129 credits. If I take an extra semester full-time of 12 credits, I can graduate with a 3.6 cGPA of 141credits. The grades that lowered my GPA are a D (3...

Greetings Friends, I would like to ask for some insight regarding some questions I have about being an applied epidemiologist and the various educational routes that lead to this kind of position. Working at the CDC EIS seems to be the dream for this line of work. (See CDC's side about epi...

I was accepted to an md program off the waitlist at a school I really don't want to go to (for a lot of reasons, location, school, ect.). I know, looking back, that I should not have applied there, but I can not go back and undo it and now I am accepted. As a backup plan while waiting to hear...

Hi there! I just recently finished up my undergrad degree in biology and need some advice. I had a very shaky start during my freshman year and I ended up with a cumulative gpa of 2.45 with a science gpa of a 2.00. After doing some soul searching and reevaluating my study habits, I decided that...

Hello all!! I am new to this forum and could use some insight. So I just completed my first year of undergrad as a pre med student and it did not go as well as I wanted it to. I have a 3.2 GPA right now. I got C’s in both Gen Chem I and Gen Chem II. I also got a C+ in Applied Calculus. I feel...

Hi Everyone! I'm a long time lurker on SDN and am currently on four waitlists this cycle. I realize that the chances of getting in this year are very slim and I am prepared to re-apply for a second time (third time applicant). A little background about my app. Applied the first time with a 505...

I am a 2017 graduate from UCD, political science major with 3.88 sGPA I have recently decided to take a second gap year due to some health issues. I could have applied this cycle, but it may have been in a somewhat haphazard fashion that it is possible to see regretting, with my burning only...

Hey Guys, I am a high school graduate that also completed my Associate in Arts degree, does anyone have any suggestions for activities that can boost my resume as a pre-med student? I am planning to shadow a physician, but I'm sure other opportunities may aid my application. So far on my resume...

hi, I am hoping to get some feedback about how good or bad of shape I’m in in terms of setting myself up to get into med school. I have just finished my sophomore year of undergrad. I have attended a community college for my first two years. Now that that is done, I will be going to a local...

My premed comittee won’t interview me until August, though they interviewed other people this past week. I am a weaker candidate academically 3.24 cgpa 3.27sgpa 509 mcat. Will a mid To late August letter really hurt my chances? Assuming all my secondaries are finished.

If TLDR: refer to bolded for quick skim.. I do not want to come off as entitled. I do believe that income/background disclosures have a place on the primary application so as to benefit URM populations. What I oppose is their disclosure being (arguably) mandatory. My father is a prominent ER...

What do you y'all think are my chances at getting in? Any input's appreciated, I need all the advice I can get!!! I'm a re-app, but my stats haven't changed too much. 3.53 cGPA and 3.41 sGPA with a downward trend, save for the last few classes I took in undergrad and a class I took for fun a...

Hi all, I'm trying to set up an excel sheet for myself so I can tell which DO programs I could realistically get into. I'm having trouble, however, as most of the schools' websites post the minimum GPA & MCAT scores needed to get in, not the average accepted scores. Does anyone know if there...
