medical school

Hi guys! I know I'm making this thread super early, but I just thought whoever else is interested in this cycle we can kind of bounce off of each other and go through this process together! Any advice, anything that can help each other out, just put it here! I know applications open September...

Here's the situation. I am interested in public health, maybe epidemiology (something that seems interesting to me is working as an applied epidemiologist at the CDC for example). I also have an interest in clinical medicine (though albeit the pig pictures and concepts of medicine interests me...

Does anyone have any information about their medical post bacc program ??? I have a GPAc. 3.32 and a GPAs. 3.1 Lots of international volunteering experience and local medical clinics here in CA. Born, raised, and went to school here in CA but I wanted to see my options!

Here's the thing, I have Body Dysmorphic Disorder (also called imagined ugliness or whatever, even though to me its very real). It's so bad to the point where I can't even study a lot of nights during the school year and I'm having serious trouble studying for the MCAT in August. It's hard to...

Accepted to both, any recommendation on which program to attend? I live in Florida.

I'm a 22 yr old female, non-URM, PA resident, looking to apply to med school this summer to start in Fall of 2019. My college GPA is 3.41, science GPA is 3.56, and I'm planning to take the MCAT in early September (studying all summer). I've been a TA for General Biology classes for one year...

Hey everyone I was looking through TCD medical school and at their admissions requirements and I am confused I have posted a picture for some of you to see. I dont understand what it means by "O4/H7" or "3H5s" and it would be great if someone can help shed some light. I uploaded an image link...

New to SDN, so if I am posting this in the wrong place please let me know! Long story short, USA and Canadian MD and DO medical schools are out of discussion because of the obvious reasons of GPA / MCAT and so on. I know going abroad will be harder and risky but, in a quick response please let...

People keep telling me you need to set unconditional priorities in med school, activities that never get brushed off. i.e. going to church on sunday, weekly dinner with parents/family/SO, daily yoga/exercise, etc... I'm curious to hear what are yall's daily or weekly priorities, and how...

Hey! I have yet to find a thread for the TEAMS program this cycle. Has anyone been interviewed? accepted? Interested in going? Committed? Seems difficult to find any information for this years cycle, information about the school, etc. Any current TEAMS Students that can pitch in on what it's...

Hey Everyone I am wanted to do my MCAT exam middle of August. I was wondering if you guys think I have enough time to study for the MCAT exam knowing this: I started studying 2 weeks ago and so far have been taking notes on the KAPLAN textbooks. (chose not to do online KAPLAN course, just...

I applied to this program and am looking for more details about the program such as: Expected interview questions, Extensiveness of the program, Do you have the ability to work while in the program? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I was wondering if I should transfer schools or stay in the university I’m going to start this next fall. I’ll be entering Kean University for their Pre-Med program and most of the courses offered there aren’t offered in many other schools. I’m trying to get into my dream medical...

As a Year 12 student in the UK, I've been researching all the medical schools and their requirements for a few months already. But when I decided to do further research around January, I found out that some schools required Biology as a compulsory A-Level, as mine were Physics, Maths and...

Hey Everyone, I estimate that by the time I finish my undergrad at my top 10 university, I will have about a 3.28 cGPA. I was wondering, given that my last two years were straight 4.0, what my options for medical schools would be? I had heard that some schools only look at your last two years...

Hey everyone I have not started doing full lengths but I will soon. How many Full Lengths do you think I should squeeze in before my Exam (August hopefully)? Also, I know AAMC has a couple of full length exams but where else would I be able to purchase more full lengths realistic to the MCAT...

Hi everyone, I am a Canadian student that will be attending UCC starting this September for the 5 year medical program. I just wanted to know anyone else that will be attending there as well!

How often does this happen? Does the DO/MD title really matter? Am I making a horrible mistake? I am currently in a position to do this. I am truly considering it, cause I really like my DO school and they already have my non-refundable $3000 dollar deposit of mine. Also, OMM sounds like a...

hi, I am hoping to get some feedback about how good or bad of shape I’m in in terms of setting myself up to get into med school. I have just finished my sophomore year of undergrad. I have attended a community college for my first two years. Now that that is done, I will be going to a local...

Hey everyone, I’m an incoming MS1 and I’m feeling a bit scared about medical school. I just remember hearing things like: “oh you wont have time for anything when you’re in med school” and just general depressing things. I know I’m going to work hard but I dont want to get to the point where...

Hello Everyone I really need some advice because I am afraid I might be making the wrong decision if I retake my MCAT in a month. I took the MCAT in March and here is my score break down. 512- 130/126/130/126 From what I read online, 2 sections below 127 could screen me out of certain schools...

So I am a first year DO student (starting really soon!) and I was curious on what, if any, are the possible negative consequences of seeing a counselor/therapist while in med school. I have anxiety, and while it does not render me unstable at all, it is something that pops up from time to time...

Hey Pre-med family, hope all is well. I just have a quick question. I got accepted to the GeorgeSquared post bacc program but i was wondering if a DIY postbacc (30 credits) would be just as good to get me looked at for most DO schools and maybe low-tiered MD schools (if successful in post bacc &...

Hi, So I'm reaching my, technically, junior year in my Pre-Medical Studies. Right now, I am a biology major deciding to pursue a Bachelor of Science. I'm not the biggest fan of Biology. This is for me, but also for different people debating a major. Here's my issue right now: I prefer a more...

There are similar posts on here so I apologize for redundancy - I am currently nearing the end of my doctoral program (Neuropsychology) and may use it as a stepping stone to medical school. I had an undergraduate minor in Human Biology, so many pre-med courses are done. However, there are...

So I've done two shadowing experiences so far, one with a nurse in labor and delivery and another with a doctor at a clinic. Both times I made sure I ate a good breakfast and didn't lock my knees while we were standing and I felt fine the whole time until I randomly started getting light headed...

Hey all! Soon to be graduating fourth year medical student here. My wife and I got married about a month before starting medical school, and we had our first child while I was a third year (he’s 1 now). Recently matched into psychiatry in the Midwest. Ask me anything!

I'm an incoming Cognitive science (B.S) major at UCI and was wondering how difficult would it be for someone like me to take some pre-requisites courses for medical school that I don't have to take pertaining to my major? Like, I don't have to take a chemistry course for my major, but can I...

Thanks for taking the time to suggest any number of schools. Don't need to read everything necessarily, just bolded and skim should be enough to comment. Profile - California resident, white male - Graduated 2017: Political science major**, 3.88 sGPA, 3.95 cGPA - MCAT TBD (June 16) - 2 years...

Hello everyone! I've never posted on here before, so I apologize in advance if I do something completely dumb. Okay, this is a long one. For starters, I'm currently a freshman (last month of the academic year), and I'm majoring in biochemistry with a Pre-Medical specialization. My first...

Hello people of SDN! I am deciding between UMSOM and GWU medical schools and am looking for some guidance and more info before I decide. I'm pretty torn (though I'm not asking anyone to pick for me obviously). I'm aiming to compare breadth of clinical experiences/exposure at each school's...

I know that my stats are extremely low. I graduated high school with 3.78 gpa, and was accepted into 18 schools. Due to a...

How and when should you begin preparing for the MCAT? I'm about to be a freshman in college studying CogSci with the intention of going to medical school after I graduate. Any real experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Everyone! I'm currently going to apply to medical school for the next cycle and I need some help coming up with a school list! Im looking into about 25-30 schools both MD & DO. If anyone could help, that would be great. Thanks! Resident: California University: Small Liberal Arts University...

What can you do with a life science major if you dont get into medical school? What would be a potential back up plan? what about a general science major? I am currently a biology major but planning on changing it because this major consists of difficult classes that are hard to take to...
