med school

Hi everyone, I am going to be studying for the MCAT to take it in 2015, or 2016 (I am currently a sophomore at NYU undergrad). I've been debating on either getting the Examkrackers or the Kaplan study materials. I do have a long time to study, so time isn't the issue. I haven't yet finished all...

I am currently in community college and am transferring to a four year institution next year.

I'm really trying to get into med school. I just finished my first semester. When would be the best time to get clinical and research experience? I don't even know what I want to research... I joined a few clubs this semester but I know I'll never be good enough to be a president of a club. What...

I really screwed up my first semester of college. I got kicked out of the bio major program bc I got a 1.8 gpa which means I won't have a back up if I get denied from med school. I was planning of going into microbio or genetics or lab technician. Now I'm stuck with majoring in chemistry to have...

So I have not been doing well throughout my college years. I major in Biology and the Bio department at my school sucks. Professors grade harshly and don't curve. The Bio dept. has the lowest gpa out of all the other departments at my school. I have received many Cs and a D in my science...

Hi there! I am currently a freshman in college. For my undergrad University, I am not required two semesters of Calc, only one. I am thinking if I need to take calc II or if I will be fine not taking it for med school... Also, I am able to swap out the second semester of organic chemistry for...

I am asking this question on behalf of someone who's one semester away from finish undergrad with a degree in Biological Engineering, with intentions to go to medical school. The university allows undergraduate students in their last semester to begin an early Masters of Engineering program...

when i was 15 i had to drop out of school for personal reasons. 3 years later i got my ged and enrolled in a community college until i can get my associates and transfer to a 4 year university. If i end up transferring to a very good university will being a high school lower the chances of...

So I was doing pretty well in school. 3.6+ I've been getting A's in bio and in chem. And now I've just scored straight C's in orgo 1 and physics 1. Did I just kill my chances? You probably see post like this all the time. But I kinda dI need some encouragement here

Long story short I did really badly my sophomore year of college (I was depressed about personal issues and health of my father, skipped class, ended up getting a D, an F and a C-). I've since turned things around and have been getting A's and B's exclusively. I'm now heading into my senior...

So I am currently a freshman in college and I failed Chemistry 121. I want to know if it looks bad if I switch into Chemistry 111. Chemistry 121 is a fast pace course designed to do the traditional chemistry route in 3 classes instead of 4. Will I still be able to get into med school if there's...

Hi every body, I'm currently a 2nd year student at Rutger's University and aspiring to be a Radiologist. I was wondering if any med students or anybody in general went through my situation. My GPA is currently really bad (2.7) and I know it's going to drop more for this semester because I'm...

Does anyone in the Chicago area or physicians or medical students at northwestern know if they allow job shadows for high school students??? I would love to shadow there!!!!

I am a junior finishing my fall semester at a lower level Ivy League university and I am also a varsity athlete. Both of which are hurting my GPA. The classes at my school are difficult and being on a sports team is time intensive. Does anyone know how much these two things will benefit me for...

Good afternoon everybody, hopefully you all don't mind taking a break from mourning John Lennon's deathiversary to give me some thoughts here. I'm a first year student and I've been looking at trying to get some experience in a clinical setting before third and fourth year rotations start. I'd...

Hi I'm currently a high school junior in CT, US. I'm a little wary on completing a bachelors degree and med school in 8 years because I would have to finance that all by myself and I really want to consider all my options. From what I've read and heard so far is that in England, after high...

Hi everyone, Currently, I am a third year student at UCSD. I am a pre-med student. I am planning on taking my MCAT this upcoming spring. As all pre-med students, I am very nervous about the upcoming applications and scared about my chances of getting in. To cut it to the chase, here are my...

Hello I am a med student and I am going to have my final test in two weeks. Would you mind helping me with this images? I need to know the name of the study and the possible diagnosis. Thanks a lot! 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Almost all the threads I see about SMP or Post-Bacc only, for the most part, refer to these programs for people with low GPA's. But what about the people with low MCAT scores? Are the SMPs and Post-Bac programs not the way to go? From doing some research on a few programs, a number of them have...

Hello everyone! I applied to Jefferson's PSAP for this cycle and have not heard from them yet. I am still sitting with the "decision pending" portal status. I was wondering if any of you applied to PSAP or are currently completing it now, and if anyone can shed some light on the timeline of...

Here goes... I'm finishing up my last semester and expect to graduate in January. However graduating is kind of bitter sweet since my stats are pretty awful. 3.09 overall/ 2.6 science. I wasn't a very good student my freshman and sophomore year and did particular bad in my chemistry and...

I am on the BSN track and will hopefully finish my pre-reqs after graduating nursing school to apply to med school. These are the science and math classes I currently have. Thanks! - Human Anatomy and Physiology I and II with lab - Intro to Chem with lab (I already know I need to redo chem...

Hello. I am currently a junior in nursing school and after I graduate, I plan on finishing my pre-requisites and applying to med school. Do not get me wrong, I think nurses are the backbones of the healthcare system and I have a great respect for all of them. However, after speaking with many...

I'm trying to decide realistically what med schools would be good to start focusing in on. I haven't taken the MCAT yet, I'm simply looking for answers based solely on a GPA range! Thanks

I have decided to do 18 credits in one semester, everything was going great. Then I had surgery and was unable to attend any of my classes for a while. Anyways, now i'm behind and failing a lot of my classes. I've dropped one class so far this semester. I'm thinking of dropping two more classes...

I'm an american student and I wanted to finish mu undergrad degree in Canada and also do med school there. Would I be able to practice medicine in America when I move back? Or if I did my undergrad in America and med school in Canada would I be allowed to practice in America? Or if I did all my...

A friend and I (first-years) have been working on a google site to be a comprehensive resource for those trying to make a decision on whether or not to join the HPSP. Its a recount of all of our experiences in the program and some advice for future HPSP students. It's a work in progress, but...

Got wait-listed at UCSD SOM...anyone know what the chances of getting an acceptance are?

Hello, It is my first semester in nursing school and I've come to realize med school is what I've always wanted. My gpa is high and shouldn't go down much after this semester (3.79). I failed a pass fail nursing school course for dosage. How will this affect me trying to go to med school? I...

Hi, I been recently thinking of applying to med schools in the US (specifically Arizona or other places), and I have heard that some of them directly take students who are in high school based on their sat scores. Is that true? Do they all require four years of undergrad before being eligible...

Hey guys, Im a sophomore in college. Im majoring in biology and have extensive shadowing experience and volunteer experience. If I end up with a good GPA and a good MCAT score is it possible to get into med school without having research experience? Please let me know. Thanks so much!

Good day everyone, Next school year I will be conducting my first step to medical school. I am a recent physics graduate and took a year off and will be planning to enter medical physics so I can prepare myself to medical school (as we do not have a very strong and competitive med schools...

So I understand that bringing this topic up is essentially beating a dead horse, but I would like some fresh inputs anyway. I have 9-10 months between now and medical school and, aside from working part time, I don't have much going on. Based on the previous threads I have read, I completely...
