I'm kind of freaking out right now. I go to a lower tier MD school, class of 2023. Knowing that Step is an equalizer for students that work their butts off, kill Step, even though they don't go to Harvard Med was really encouraging. Now I'm feeling like there's even more barriers in front of my...

Hi guys, I wanted to get your advice on what you think standard EC’s (and how many hours) are for MD schools? I’m not sure what all falls under the category of EC’s but this is what I’m doing so far: -working as an LPN -research -volunteering in a hospital because of my clinical experience...

Volunteering at Hospice volunteering at an Alzheimer's clinic volunteering at a soup kitchen volunteering at a children's orphanage lifeguarding (mostly during the summer) water safety instructing (mostly during the summer) alzheimer's association walks and charity events stuff for clubs at...

Is it possible to apply to MD schools while ones green card is in process? Or does one have to wait until the green card is in hand before applying? Can't you put on your application that you'll be getting your green card in like a couple months? Or not?

Hi. Im an asian and I recently finished my first semester of Junior year. If I maintain my recent gpa trend I will end up with a 3.77cgpa and around 3.68sgpa by the end of Junior year. My recent MCAT score: 516 (maybe around 35 from the old MCAT?) I have 200 volunteer hours in a hospital from...

After reading a half dozen MD vs. MD/PhD posts, I wanted to put up my own dilemma since I don't think what I saw really addressed my doubts. I want to be a physician, that much I know. However, I also have a fundamental appreciation of basic science and the steps it takes to bring us closer to...

I am directionless, depressed, and being pressured (by some family, but mostly myself) to finish a program that will give me ensured, but fulfilling, employment. All throughout HS and undergrad, I thought I was going to try to get into med school, be a doctor, etc. Did not really think about...

I'm sure plenty of people sit in the same boat as myself , but here we go with this dilemma post+pity+: Do I put down the money to hold my spot on my first acceptance due to fear of not gaining acceptance anywhere else/somewhere higher on my list? I understand the deposit is such a small amount...

Hello everyone, So I was hoping anyone could shed some insight on my chances of getting into MD or DO schools with my credentials. I recently graduated UNH with a 2.98 ugpa and a 3.0 sgpa and a B.S. In Biomedical Sciences. I am currently in a post baccalaureate program at ELMS college and as...

Hello all, I’m currently deriving a school list for applications in June. Any suggestions to boost my application are very much appreciated (criticisms as well). I’ll be applying to both M.D. and D.O. schools. Here are my stats: - 3.63 cGPA, 3.5 sGPA (bad freshman year, upward trend, 4.0...

Hi everybody! So I'm already pretty deep in the application cycle- meaning that all my secondaries are in (EXCEPT FOR ONE- I'M LOOKING AT YOU, HOWARD) and I've already received some interviews. I applied to 33 MD programs and 7 DOs. I'm primarily curious about where I stack up for MD programs...

Hi everyone, I am a Doctor of Medicine freshly graduated from the Tunis Faculty of medicine after 5 years of studies and 2 years of clinical internship in various departments in the hospitals of Tunis. I know the path that i am supposed to take in order to obtain a licence to practice medicine...

Hi Everybody, I recently graduated from my college with a double major (Biology and French) and a minor. My final cumulative GPA is 3.58. Throughout my undergrad, I received about 40 A's and 20 B's. I received a D from Gen Chem I (sophomore year's first semester) and I received a C in Calculus...

The class is called "human genetics" but it is offered by the anthropology department at my school (I don't know why). I got an A, so I really want it to count. Could it be considered Biology?

Like many I am worried about my current medical MD and DO application cycle. I just submitted my application and my transcripts are waiting to be reviewed. My concerns are due to my low MCAT score (which I took only once due to taking it August 28th) and the "late" submission of my application...
