I'm considering a master's in Pathology before med school. I'm not far enough along to know what kind of applicant I'll be for med school so that's not really a significant reason to why Im considering it. I figure that since I have to take 1 gap year anyways in my current timeline I could just...

Hi :). I have a question specifically about the addendum you can submit with explaining a lower GPA. I was thinking of talking about how I have a disability so that made it a lot more difficult for me. There's more to it, I also had to change my major from humanities to science focuses because...

trying to decide which one to buy to start MS1. I have heard that mini's are better for years 3 and 4, but I don't know if I want to be using a mini during my first two years to constantly take notes. I have heard good things about both the surface and the iPad pro (w/ Apple pen). Any thoughts...

Need some clarification for a neurotic pre med. I graduated in May 2015 and have just completed one semester of organic lab (paid 600$ out of pocket), which most schools have as an admission requirement/recommendation. However, the school which I took the lab at splits up Orgo lab into a year...

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...

I'm 16, and I'm a freshman who is double majoring and is part of an honors program at an American university. I want to become a physician-scientist, and anything that can limit my family's financial strain would make the path much easier. Med schools in Europe are low cost, if not free, and...
