medical school

So for each block my school posts questions pertaining to the lectures. Lately I've noticed that for some questions they are basically copy and pasting questions from Webpath. It's kind of annoying cause they don't give us many questions as it is and now they're taking from our pool of outside...

Hey I'm an MS1 who just finished up a cardio block like 2weeks ago. I passed the test, but I didn't do super great. I also feel like there are still gaps in my knowledge or things that I'm not 100% sure about, especially physiology. For example, I still have trouble distinguishing heart sounds...

I am currently on 2 wait lists for 2018, so I still have hopes for medical school next year, but I feel like I need a viable backup plan. I am two years out of undergrad and I have worked in labs and as a scribe so I don't think experience is where I am lacking and I really would like to be in...

Hey guys! I'm a 21-year-old female. I'm currently still at a community college. I did well my first semester (3.0), did VERY POOR the next 3 semesters (1.73, 1.89, 1.87). I received F's, D's and I believe I withdrew from a course. At this point, my financial aid was dropped and I had to take a...

From the Discussion section.... “During the most intense learning period of their lives, medical students and residents are rarely able to maintain regular sleep schedules due to their high workload and are therefore often sleep-deprived and/or suffer from poor sleep quality (Curcio et al...

Hi everyone, I'm gearing up to start undergrad. I applied as a bio major because know I love bio and I couldn't think of much else to major in any way. As time went on, however, I realized I have a real passionate interest in public health. At the end of the day, isn't the betterment of public...

How do Medical Schools view Clinical research? Does it look just as good as lab research? I am currently a Research Assistant at a Neurosurgery and interview patients and assess their pain and see how they have been progressing since they have had the surgery.

In short, what I'm asking is whether there is an effective disadvantage to taking MCAT May 19 (considered reschedule-to; results June 19) vs. April 21 (currently scheduled; results May 22) in terms of it being a late application. While submitting after June 1 is obviously late relative to...

Hi, I'm in my final year of medical school at a British university, and will be an IMG when I apply for residency in the US. I had a couple of questions about taking a year out during medical school. I’m taking a year out for medical reasons, so have deferred my graduation by one year. I...

As a fellow Canadian Citizen who is born and raised in Canada. The system to comeback into a residency is extremely difficult. The next little bit will outline the grotesque nature of the system and how convoluted and unfair it is towards IMGs despite their BS guidelines. Get some popcorn...

I was wondering my chances of getting accepted in medical school? Currently I am working on a masters in Biomedical Engineering and doing well (hope to graduate with at least a 3.8 GPA). However my undergraduate gpa (same major) was not as a good, a 3.25. I was wondering if I finished strong...

Hello! I would like to learn more about loans/grants for medical school. I submitted my FAFSA yesterday. I don't think I would be eligible for free $ as my parents' income is over the need limit. So far, my state school hasn't sent me any info yet about financial packages. What should I do now...

Hi! I have a JAMP interview coming up very soon and I'm not completely sure what to expect, or how to approach it since the interview is not to get into a specific med school. In preparing for the interview, I realized there won't be any questions geared to any med school in specific. So...

Hello all! I've been toying with the idea of starting a youtube channel in medical school. Not quite sure if I want to go the route of a day in the life of a med student, or study vlogs. I find that I learn best when I am teaching and explaining concepts (teaching is one of my passions), so I...

Hello all, I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois and I'm majoring in economics. My cGPA and sGPA are each around 3.0. I'm graduating in a few weeks and these GPA's will likely be the the same. I think that I underestimated the amount of information on the MCAT and scored a...

Question is pretty self-explanatory. I'm holding on to multiple acceptances since finances play a huge role in my decision-making, since I come from a very low-income family. I know schools are not REQUIRED to provide financial aid letters before April 30th (the day you're supposed to choose...

Hi everyone, I am currently applying to medical school and it seems as if I will be going out of state for medical school. I have been accepted into Kansas City University and I just interviewed at Rowan University (both are D.O schools). Both are amazing schools. My concern is that I want to...

So how did you meet your S/O? I heard most people settle down in med school (either coming into med school married, getting engaged, starting a family, etc). I’m a bit worried b/c I’m still single in Undergrad and I’ll be matriculating into med school next year. I hope I can start dating guys in...
