So heres my dilema. I can honestly say I love both Medicine and Dentistry. I have been actively working on my Dental School application for the application process this June and thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do (General Dentistry but do alittle bit of everything: fillings, crowns...

Hi everyone, Hope you all had an amazing holiday so far! Here's my story: I graduated from an undergrad program in Canada and applied to pharmacy with a GPA of around 3.9 in the last 3 years. I was accepted, and was SO excited-- I absolutely loved pharmacy. I was passionate and enthusiastic...

How do medical schools evaluate your GPA? After all, each applicant is coming from a different school with different courses and professors. Even an intro physics course at one school could be totally different from one at another school. My school is known to be particularly stingy when it...

I am a sophomore and have done 26 hours of job shadowing and found through not only that but also having a physician mentor and going to a high school pre-med camp that I LOVE medicine, and I can;t wait to be a doctor. I crave hospital hours and time to interact with patients, but all of my...

Do medical schools really take this trend into account?

I never knew these forums existed until a colleague recommended that I have a look so thought I would post my current thoughts to see what you think... I have been thinking intently over the last few months about moving to Australia, and I believe I have now reached my conclusion. With the...

How can I address this question without coming off as fake or insincere?

So - I'd like to begin by first saying that this is a throwaway, because I don't really feel like having any of you discover who I am - (never underestimate the power of the internet. Dentistry is a very “front” facing profession. Your mug will be plastered on the website of whatever office you...

Hi, I'm a 4th year student and I just started the residency interview trail. Due to family considerations etc. I ended up applying to a bunch of places on the east coast without really doing good research on the programs. Now I'm interviewing and I feel bad for not spending more time making my...
