med admissions

Hi as title says I'm kind of thinking about dental school because of OFMS. I I’ve shadowed an OMFS in both the office and hospital setting and I have been hooked on the complexity and investment into each patient. Ever since I got to see a split osteotomy planning and actual 8 procedure I just...

I would like to get a review of my application and see what my chances of getting into schools aimed towards social justice. I'm aiming to take one gap year (more like application year) and I'm going into my junior year. cGPA - 3.70, sGPA - 3.50 (also withdrawed from ochem and retook it) MCAT...

In just a few days, many of you will want to submit your medical school primary application. You’ve probably heard that you have to click “send” on the first day possible – which this year is May 28, 2024 – if you want your best shot. But just how true is that? The AMCAS primary deadline: Myth...

Hey all. Just been stressing out and working on my med applications (2025/2026 cycle). Note: I am a Canadian applicant. Been studying for the MCAT (projecting 520s if all goes well based off FLs) GPA is on the much lower side due to a horrible first year (0.5 GPA...yeah) Without it my GPA...

Hello all! I applied this previous cycle and wanted to post on here retroactively regarding my chances of getting off waitlist, or advice on if the schools I picked were good choices. I'm a white, female, VA resident. VCU was my undergraduate with a major in chemistry and a minor in Spanish...

Hello, I’ll try and lay everything out, so you can get a good idea of where I’m at. I got my bachelors in a science field which only included the basic prereqs. GenChem, GenPhys1, biology1&2 etc. I got around a 3.0 for cGPA and sGPA. Did good freshman year did bad sophomore and junior, then...

Research for med school Sophomore pre med, kind of panicking. I plan to go to med school once I graduate. I do hospital volunteering, worked at an eye clinic for a year, started a pharmacy tech job, do ESL tutoring, tutored math at my college and for elementary- middle school kids. I shadow...

Hello To introduce myself, I am a student who completed one year of university but I recently came across a program offered by a private institution called CIMT (located in Canada). They offer a 1 year program that matches the "pre-medical" year that these 5-year Caribbean MD schools offer (1...

Hi guys! I'm a rising junior and I've been looking at a few (around 15-20 or so) MD and DO schools and the more I look at them the more I'm doubting that I'll have credentials by senior year to apply to Med school. Below are my stats: 3.9 cGPA and 3.8sGPA I haven't taken the MCAT yet but I'm...

Hi everyone, I want to thank you all in advance for reviewing my stats. I appreciate it so much and value all of your opinions. I didn't include DO on this list because I'm not adverse to taking another gap year to study again for the MCAT if I must, so I decided to take a shot in the dark and...

Hi! I recently got accepted off a waitlist at an MD school. I have an identical twin sister who is still on the waitlist who has the same research experience, volunteer experience and hours, clinical experience, MCAT score and a very similar GPA. Basically, I feel that I’m not more deserving of...

I grew up in Utah and attended the University of Utah for undergrad. My family lives in Utah. I was accepted to LKSOM and UUSOM. I have been getting tired of Utah and would like to see something new. Philly seems like it would be cool and LKSOM serves more of the communities that I'm interested...

So I unfortunately did not get accepted into any of the schools (MD or DO) that I applied to this past cycle. My stats were a bit average, 3.5 GPA and 504 MCAT, so it wasn’t too surprising. I will be taking my MCAT again but I also applied to masters programs and was accepted at Brown for...

Hi! I’m applying this cycle and don’t think I can handle taking my mcat again because of difficulty balancing with school work, research and other things and don’t want to retake and do worse. I have a 507 (128/124/125/130) and a 3.9 gpa. I have strong ECs and research and clinical hours. I also...

My undergrad takes up to 8 weeks from the time of primary verification to write their committee letter and send all LORs. And guess what, they took the full 8 weeks minus two days to send mine, so my apps were not complete until 9/7 (it’s messed up I know). Regardless, I just started a new job...

Hello all, I am in a degree program that allows me to apply. I'm wondering if this is seen positively or negatively? Would appreciate any insight!

I have currently been accepted to both Long SOM and McGovern and am having trouble deciding between the two schools. Long SOM: I have been offered a full-ride here, so I would be able to graduate without debt. I really enjoyed my interview here, but I've never been to San Antonio nor do I know...

I'm having trouble choosing a medical school to begin attending next year. I've been accepted into: 1) Rosalind Franklin University 2) Western Michigan University 3) California University of Science and Medicine They each seem to have their pros and cons, but none sticks out as a leader...

I'm planning on choosing BSc Forensics as my premed in Canada. Do you think there's any scope for it there in case I don't get into med school? Will a Masters in Forensics help me land a stable job with a stable income?

So I've been reading and hearing that doing/starting a category of activities just a few months before you plan to apply looks like checking the box and can harm your application. Do you think that would apply to clinical experience too, considering COVID? My mom is immunocompromised, which is...

So I'm finishing up my masters at Rutgers Biomed, however, I came in as premed. GPA has been a 4.0 but due to undergrad and copious credits I took, it only brings it up to above a 3.4. I'm Asian so if I continue w/ medicine I'm most likely going to osteopathic school. I'm not okay with becoming...

Would Human Genetics qualify as a science course and would I be able to use it for a science LOR? The class is in the Biology department (it's called BIO 104), and it's taught by a Professor of Biology. However, the class itself is for science non-majors. The course description reads as follows...
