Hello, I am a Canadian citizen completing my undergraduate degree this year in Canada and subsequently starting my post-bacc in Canada next year but I received my green card in 2018. Is there a requirement to live in a certain state for a certain amount of time prior to applying or to complete...

So, I just submitted my AMCAS application yesterday but I realized after I made a mistake in my bio info. I put the wrong sex for one of my parents on accident. i immediately emailed AAMC but haven't heard back. on their website it says you can change DOB, sex, etc but does that include parents...

Hello, I am Imoto. I am about to take the MCAT and my goal is to get into the 4 years MD at Poznan and return in the USA for my residency. Is there any current 4years MD Poznan students (the 6 years program is quite different) or very recent graduate that could answer a few questions or anyone...

Hi guys, I need some help. I'm a new third year on psych consult service. I was asked to preform an observed H&P with an attending on a patient s/p suicide attempt and was super nervous as I've never talked to someone about this sort of thing before. I asked all the residents for their advice...

I am an incoming MD student in the fall, and am making my final choice for the institution I will attend. I was wondering if there’s any in-state bias for residency matches. i.e. Will I necessarily have a greater chance of attending a California residency if I attend a California Medical school...

So two semesters ago, I took Bio and the Lab. I got a D in Bio and a C- in the Lab. I’m retaking the Bio right now and it’s going well. Is it worth retaking the lab? I know that a C is required for many different med schools and I’ll surely retake the course but would it be OK to retake it at a...

Hi so, I have been getting mostly B+ and As. However, I was 0.41 points from a B in physio and now have a C+. Are my chances of getting into MD schools over? I still have one year left of my SMP. My current GPA is around 3.44 with the C+.

Are the graduate students and TAs in research known to be a little rude? I’m working in a lab and feel a little patronized. I could just be super sensitive but I was wondering if that was known to happen. The TA I’m working with just seemed a little dry. Note, I am not complaining. I’m still...

I pretty much pool guard at a few community places. Through instructing, I TEACH children how to swim and stay afloat (literally) haha, in water. The lifeguarding is good, I haven't legitimately had to "save" anyone or anything scary like that. But it is still a good experience nonetheless...

Hello! I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on Organic Chemistry Research? I may be doing Orgo research in the Spring and was wondering if you guys were familiar with it? What kind of stuff will I be doing? How is it? I'm really excited to be doing this and am really passionate about...

Hello all. I went through a rough semester this semester with some personal family issues. I was wondering what my options would be with a possible D on my transcript? My GPA is obviously going to go down but am I mandated to undergo a post bacc now? Is it still possible?

So I got my final grade in Lab. It's a C-. What should I do? The add/drop date is Friday. Should I just drop it and retake it later or should I just stick with it. I know a C- is gonna kill my GPA but what should I do? Should I drop it and take a W? Or should I just drop all together? Please...

Currently doing horrible in Bio and Bio Lab. Highest I can get in Bio Lab is a C+ and that's if I get a perfect. Doing horrible in Bio right now. What should I do? Already have one W over the summer with Orgo. Going through some personal family issues. Advice? I wasn't gonna drop Bio Lab... Help?

Hey all. The college I attend has a BS course for premed students. Is it worth taking? It's two credits and it's considered a "GPA booster". I just don't know if it's worth it. Id be taking it next semester. Next semester I'll be taking Bio Bio Lab Orgo 2 Neuroscience class Genetics Physics...

Just wondering if the prestige of the UG school matter? I mean obviously it does if you're applying to Ivy Leagues as Ivy League med schools accept Ivy League students. But what if you're not gonna be applying to Ivies and just want a decent MD school? If you attend a college that is...

Just finished freshman year, graduating early. Had a few questions. Neuroscience major, premed aiming for MD schools. So I was wondering if it is NECESSARY to be involved in campus activities? In all honesty, I dont really like the campus activities, etc. is it necessary to be invocled? I see...

So I took Orgo 1 and Physics 1 over the summer. Physics is going great, (for sure an A) and Orgo not so much. If I get a perfect on both of our next exams, the highest I'll get is a C+. Not sure what to do. The professor was supposedly really good but I guess not for me. the Fall professors are...

So I'm going to be a sophomore in the fall. Thinking of graduating early. If I do, I was gonna go and do this program. How good is it? Has anyone done it? Did you get into MD schools? Also, how good is it if I get this degree and decide MD isn't for me? Also, if I have a high GPA (above 3.80)...

So, I'm a freshman and looking to graduate early right now. I'll be class of 2019, though I was supposed to be 2020. So, I'm thinking if a post-bacc or a grad degree would be the best course of action? I don't want to apply to med school next year, so that's not an option. I had some...

So I just finished my freshman year. I have like a 3.72 GPA, taking summer courses and volunteering. I was wondering, I'm class of 2020 btw, how beneficial would it be for me to graduate early? In 2019 spring and then do a one year Masters program? In four years, I'd get a BS and a Masters, and...

Hello, I am a freshman in college right now. I would like to know a few stats of accepted MD applicants? I want to know the type of things I should aim for. Right now, I have really good grades, I'm taking Organic Chem Honors over the summer and I do lifeguarding and shadowing at the side. I...
