Hello, I was just wondering if anyone got an email inviting them for in interview to RCSI med this year!! Specifically in Vancouver, Canada. I'm super worried because a couple of my friends got their interviews last week and I still haven't heard anything back even though I applied like 2...

Hello everyone, All those who have attended the interview/tour of RCSI Bahrain on January 13th 2018, have any of you received your results? If so, if you don't mind, how about sharing them? Also, if you are a student at RCSI Bahrain, could you please share your High School grades...

I am a 21 yo currently finishing my 4th year of undergrad. I currently work full time as a scribe in the ED and a cardiology clinic. I have worked full time throughout my college career to pay as much of my way through. I have not had the smoothest undergraduate career but will be graduating...

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...

So I really love animals and I want to be a vet, but I'm really squeamish, like I had to leave the room during a heart dissection in class. Do you guys think that is something I can get over?? If so how?? Any advice is much appreciated!!! (BTW I'm currently in sophomore year of high school)

Hello guys, This summer I plan on getting my clinical volunteering numbers up while beginning to study for the MCAT and doing research. I have a couple options and was curious what you guys think: 1) do research, study, and work in a hospital as a volunteer all in the same summer 2) go...

Hello! I am a communication disorders student who is currently contemplating what path I should take after my undergraduate degree. I have always had a passion for medicine because I really enjoy helping people, however math and science were never my particular strong suits. While science I...

Hello Forum. I am a psychology major at Auburn University. I came into AU as a biomedical science major because I was naive and thought you had to major in science to go to medical school. My spring semester of freshman year, I took intro to Psych and absolutely fell in love. The December before...

Hello everyone, I am a communication disorders student who is having a rather hard time choosing what field I would like to go into. I have always been very attracted to the medical field as I genuinely enjoy helping people, in addition to some intense childhood experiences regarding my health...

I've just finished my first semester as a first year medical student and I've been developing quite an interest in pharmacology. (I originally went into medicine to pursue either aneasthesiology or dermatology). I was told that it would be best to finish a degree course then pursue pharmacology...

Just creating a thread for Military HPSP applicants to post questions and their status in the application/commissioning process. Feel free to post and get this thread going!

Hi, So as you can see in the title I'm looking to find out about transitioning from Medicine to Veterinary. I've found a post about doing the reverse but no info on Med -> Vet. At the minute i'm in my third year of medical school (3rd of 5) and whilst I don't hate it, in fact I quite like many...

Hello all! I am currently a pre-med student and like to read research articles and general topics in medicine often. Since I am not a professional and do not fully understand medical jargon quite yet, what would be the best journal for me to subscribe to and consume for my own personal interests?

Artists, musicians, producers, photographers, cinematographers, etc. where you at? What/who inspires you to continue creating at the same time that you're pursuing medicine? New: Given that so many of you have these creative interests outside of medicine, what's on your radar right now in terms...

Hello everyone, Like many, I got injured early on while playing sports and went to see a Physical Therapist, I immediately fell in love with the profession at an early age. During this time, the profession was ranked as one of the “top 10 best careers out there”. This enforced my decision and...

I just submitted my secondary application to FSU about a week ago. I'm wondering if that's too late in the application cycle to receive a regular admission interview? I have decent MCAT and GPA around their average and a lot of research/volunteering/shadowing experience.

Please post your Impressions of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Programs as you move along the interview trail!

Hey everyone, I wanted to get some feedback about how to be a more competitive applicant to get accepted into medical school. I'd also like to know what my odds are of getting in to an average school. I'm working on my undergrad in chemical engineering, and decided I'm more passionate about...

I was not able to prepare enough for the MCAT and ended up scoring 492:smack:. I am 23 yo international student who completed all premedical coursework in the US. My GPA is 3.84, and I have done my best with the extracurriculars: mentored; volunteered; ran a health professionals club; done...

Hello my name is Becca! I have been tutoring for the MCAT, PCAT and OAT for about six years now, most of that time through Kaplan test prep teaching their large courses, live online, summer intensive and private tutoring and mentoring. I also worked for Next Step Test Prep as a tutor and...

I already asked this question in the med students forum, but I wanted to hear you guys' take. I hope this is allowed, lol. I was curious. Most fields that require very intense amounts of training require some form of indoctrination or programming. I assume that's true for the field of medicine...

Just found out we had to redefend our thesis. It's a real blow to see your paper not being enough. I don't know much about methodologies I can do for our thesis so our original paper wasn't all that exciting & I guess that's the problem. Looking for some suggestions for a topic? Atleast an...

Wow I have a similar inquiry but not to the point of dropping out. I am terrible with my hand skills, as well. I try to practice as much as I can but the didactics are also quite demanding so during exam weeks I end up slacking on the sim lab hours which definitely hurts any progress I make. The...

I am half way through my surgery rotation and I am struggling like hell. I am the student who is usually quiet, and fumbles with instruments. My nervousness for the next day makes it impossible for me to study or sleep at a decent time and I end up looking even dumber. I constantly drink alcohol...

I am just about to graduate high school and want to go for a medical degree. Im a south korean national but am currently studying A-Levels in Pakistan, i have 4As in my AS LEVEL. I really want to go abroad for my medical studies, UK doesnt seem to be a good option because i lack in finance and i...

Hi there, apologies if I am not using this forum right. I literally just became a member so I'm new to everything. So long story short. I went to school and got my BA in Social Work. I am about to finish with my masters in it as well, and the goal was to graduate and get my LCSW so I could open...

Hey everyone, A bit about me: I'm 18 and just graduated high school this past spring (went to a US boarding school... think Andover, Exeter, etc.). I'm a Canadian citizen and I'm currently taking a gap year. Since I'll be applying to college this fall, I wanted to get some opinions on where I...

I'm a pre-medical undergraduate student and a sophomore at a state school. I'm a Hispanic female. I'm studying Business Management with a focus in Entrepreneurship. My current GPA is 3.87, which I'm reasonably confident I can raise in the next few years. As far as extracurriculars go, I...

Hi everyone! I noticed that a thread to chat about applying to med-peds programs was missing and thought I would start one assuming there's interest. Where are y'all getting interview invites? Perhaps we can follow the format of past years: ~*~*~Official 2015-2016 Med-Peds Interview Thread~*~*~

I have graduated from high school and I want to study Medicine in Istanbul, Turkey for some reasons: 1- tuition fees, accommodation and living expenses will be free. 2-Education in Turkey has a good reputation. 3- my family isn't rich. But the language of study at university will be Turkish. I...

hi, I am an undergrad pre med student. I would like to stay in state if possible. There are two MD and two DO schools in my state. I was wondering, about the DO schools, what debt is like after graduation and residency and getting a career. They are more expensive than the MD schools here. Looks...

I see a lot of people here complaining that medical school is worse than death. It's very disheartening and unmotivating. Is medical school really hell on earth?

I'm an M1 and I'd really like to do something abroad this summer, probably the entire summer if I can. I know a couple of organizations I've worked with before in Peru and Guatemala that have different medical volunteering opportunities as well as legitimate Medical Spanish Terminology classes...

Hey guys, I'm currently going into my last year of high school, and like many people, I'm stuck on if I should pursue medicine or engineering. I finished biology a year early to lessen my workload for the last year of high school and I really enjoyed the class. In general, I just like learning...
