med application

I am a first generation college student from a low-income family who lives in south TX. I started off my first semester not even knowing basic chemistry due to my high school's lack of decent teachers... I've struggled a lot to adapt to college not only academically, but mentally. Ive also...

Hey guys! I'm currently a sophomore in college and had some doubts on when to take the MCAT. My pre-health adviser told me to start studying over winter break my junior year, then take an intensive course (i.e Kaplan or Princeton) over summer break and take it in July/August. She failed to...

My end goal here is to eventually end up in medical school at some point. As of now, I've been looking into different post-bacc programs, as I'm looking to graduate in May 2017 with probably around a 3.2 and maybe like a 2.9 science GPA. Im from the NYC area and every post bacc program I've...

I got a 4.0 (mix of A's and A+'s) first semester of freshman year, a 3.471 (B+'s and A's) second semester, and a 3.33 (B+) in the summer for a final cumulative gpa of 3.688 my first year of college. In my first semester of sophomore year, I'll end up with a C+ in bio 2 (A- in lab), a B in ochem...

I got Cs in gen chem I & II, a D in bio I and this semester I got a C in Ochem and Bio II. Do I have any chance, my gpa is at a 2.3 right now. Help me please, do I drop pre-med, I don't have a chance?

Hello ! I've been on my journey to med school for quite some time; and fortunately, medical schools in my area accept online pre-req. my heart is Stanford, however, I'm open to which medical school accepts me and have broaden my horizons to going after DO and not just MD. Does anyone know of any...

So... anyone know anything about Canadian medical schools? Like how to apply (from the US), which to apply to, admissions and like any and all pertinent information? Just asking for a friend ahahahahaha (cries internally). -This may or may not have been inspired by recent events.

I'm currently taking a gap year (or two) and applying to medical school in June 2017 for admission in the Fall of 2018. I am a full-time researcher at a top 5 medical university and am looking to supplement my extracurriculars. I have a 3.95 cGPA and 3.996 sGPA and a 517 MCAT (130, 129, 130...

Hello everyone! This is my first post on SDN. I'm just curious what you think my chances are for medical school.. I have been an active duty medic in the army for 4 years now. I have a BA in psychology, an AA in general science and an AAS in paramedicine. I am a certified paramedic through the...

So I'm in the AFROTC program at my university. I want to go to medical school, but I wanted to serve my four year commitment before hand. I'm currently a biology major, and hoping to work as a laboratory technician or scientist of some sort. Would I be at a disadvantage going to medical school...

I love science and I find myself understanding the material clearly, but my science GPA in college is pretty bad. Here's how: In my 1st semester of freshmen year I took nursing courses (I've always wanted to become a physician, I went into nursing because I got accepted immediately into my...

I am in the middle of my med school applications and just got back a disappointing MCAT. I got a 498. 122 on chem/phys, 124 on bio, 124 on psych and 128 on c/r. My gpa is a 3.5 and I'm an emt with a background in reporting and community health outreach. I want to say I'm a good candidate besides...

So I screwed up and did really bad in some of my classes. I made the mistake of doing a business major and pre-med and the dual degrees just screwed me over. I have 4 D's, 2 F's and 3 W's on my transcript. Im just a sophomore right now. Should I give up my path to applying to med school? Should...

Here are my stats: cgpa: 3.26, sgpa: 3 I'm an international student, studying my undergrad in biology here and graduating in 3 weeks. Since it's hard to foreign students to get into med school, I applied to pharmacy school and I already got accepted for fall. but i don't wanna regret that i...
