Hey everyone! I have had the wonderful opportunity of being accepted to one of the three schools listed in the title that I’m waitlisted from recently. However, the school is only giving me a few business days to accept their offer, which makes sense given that they want to either solidify the...

"PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS MESSAGE" Soooo I have like 80 schools on my list right now and while I'm okay to apply that much (cost is not an issue), I'm not sure if it's feasible to submit all my secondaries within 2 weeks of receiving them. I prewrote the basic secondaries (diversity, adversity...

Hello ! I have been accepted at both USF Morsani and FAU. I’m terrible with decisions and am asking for insight that any of you may have. FAU - I have been incredibly pleased by their program thus far. P/F grading. The vibe felt very welcoming and friendly. The admin seem very geared...

I had a ton of questions when I was trying to get into Medical School and during my first year, but few people could answer them for my specific situation. If you have questions about applying as a Non-traditional student, veteran, married person +/- kiddos, or just generic questions about life...

I’m a recent graduate (URM/disadvantaged/3.64 GPA) and just got my second MCAT score back. 494. Pretty discouraged because I spent months studying. I used Khan Academy, Kaplan, and the AAMC materials. I decided to study on my own since I didn’t have the money to pay for a professional...

so to begin, I do not want to take a gap year. am firmly against the idea if I do not have to. in terms of research/EC's I believe I am a pretty strong applicant with 3.9+/hopefully will receive a good MCAT score, taking in Jan. I am a little worried about physician shadowing and clinical...
