I am 24, I will be 25 this coming September. Medicine and ballet have always been my top things. I'm alone in the world now after helping my mother battle lupus, but she died last year. I endured a very abusive household that didn't allow for me to study the way I wish I would've been able to...

I'm not majorly concerned about any of the other med school prerequisites....but calculus scares the **** out of me. I've successfully avoided math entirely unto this point. Now I'm in an algebra class, and that's fine, I'm getting an A; but I honestly think that I'm not capable of going up to...

Hi Everyone, I developed a great relationship with my Intro to Sociology prof, and she enthusiastically agreed to writing me a LOR. Does sociology count as a non-science? I understand that it's a social science course. But we didn't do any actual typical "science" stuff in the class. It felt...

I will be taking the ACS final exam for General Chemistry I and II. I was wondering what you all thought of it? It's a large chunk of my grade and I'm really scared about it. I was wondering what I could do to best prepare for it? I have ordered the book and plan to study for it nonstop. How did...

Hey guys! I was wondering how clinical postings are elsewhere. In our med school, it's too casual and no one gives a damn. 2 guys (the gunners sorts) workup a case, post on the group before class starts and everyone manages to turn up before the proff walks in. There is no dearth of clinical...

How does the education at VCOM-Va compare to that at WVSOM? Aside from determining the right fit based on location and overall environment, I'm trying to see which school offers the best curriculum, rotations and resources. Any advice is appreciated!

Hi everyone! I needed to get some advice and opinions on what I should do to fix my GPA at this point I had a terrible freshman year, I'm not going to add fluff, I just didn't study and I did not take the transition from high school to college well. I got a D in gen chem 2 and retook it the...

I'm from India and at our place, lectures are the main stay of teaching. Although sometimes we have smaller groups, problem based learning, case discussions and practicals. Lectures form a major chunk of it and unlike the rest I just mentioned, are highly monotonous, one sided and sleep...

I keep reading everywhere that what you do in high school doesnt really matter.... in a sense yes it doesnt because you can start fresh in college... however I cant wrap my head around the fact tht if someone struggled in high school... where easier things are taught how will they succeed in...

The truth is, all I'm interested in is how the mind works : psychiatry and neurology. I plan to be a psychiatrist, this is what I've always wanted as a doctor, I never thought about becoming specialized in any other area. My question is how can I get over my huge disinterest in studying all...
