mistake

Hi everyone, I submitted my ERAS application this Sunday, and NOW I notice I put a good amount of experiences under the wrong category. I proofread my experiences multiple times on different days and thought I was careful. I don't know how I overlooked the category originally selected. Now I am...

Hello everyone! This is my first time on SDN so I apologize if I make a mistake with the thread or miss any pertinent information. A bit of background, I am a ORM Texas resident with a 4.0 GPA and 517 MCAT. I have had five II's in Texas so far, including my dream schools, and have been to four...

I applied for neuro a few weeks ago and got one interview call. Today, I received an email from a director at a hospital I applied to pointing out that I messed up the city in my address - I wrote '(city in Florida), CA'. The city is my hometown, and I currently live in CA. I don't know how I...

I made a major mistake on my AMCAS. For my most recent employment, I meant to write 1600 hours but instead wrote 6600 hours. I did not realize the mistake until I was going through my primary while working on secondaries. Obviously, this isn't something that will be missed by many medical...

So I accidentally listed one of my experiences as "paid-medical/clinical" when it should have been "paid-Non-medical/clinical". I have over 800 hours in this experience, and I don't want adcoms to think I am trying to claim more medical/clinical experience than I have. Should I email individual...

I know I'm gonna get a lot of well-deserved hate for this, but I was reviewing my work/activities section because one of my secondary apps requires me to re-enter that info and I found out that none of my essays saved on one of my activities that I marked as "most meaningful." Does anyone have...

Hey everyone, this is my first post on SDN. I made a stupid mistake on the Dental school application i submitted about an hour ago. I accidentally selected that I am a DACA student even though I am not. What would be my best course of action? I am terrified my entire application may be...

CAN I RE-SUBMIT THIS CYCLE IF I WITHDRAW BEFORE VERIFICATION? this is probably the most pathetic thing you will read. I submitted my aacomas last week. I now downloaded the application as pdf to read through it and found 6 mf typos in my activities sections like a random "i" or period or wrong...

So I'm in 4th year and I've completed 13 weeks of Clinical Placement so far. Today, I injected a cat with 10x the correct dose of Meloxicam...and I am really struggling. The cat is ok at the moment (being flushed with fluids, and it's a stray cat, not one with an owner), but I am beating myself...

So I wrote the essays and submitted the fee for my University of Chicago secondary application months ago, but just today realized that I never hit that crucial "submit application" button. I feel like an idiot and I assume that the school is going to think I'm a huge slacker and pass me over...

My AADSAS has been verified since the summer. Last night, as I was preparing to add another "achievement" to that section on my AADSAS application, I had an unfortunate slip of the finger resulting in me submitting an empty achievement titled "e". No description. Nothing. After emailing AADSAS...

I was looking through my works and activities section and I realized I said I worked with "mammalian and mouse cell lines" It makes me seem like I am not aware that a mouse is a MAMMAL!!! I seriously revised my application so many times and I don't know how I didn't catch this!!! Aaaah feeling...

The title pretty much says it all. I've already emailed them, but I was hoping for some insight on how much this will delay/prevent receiving secondaries. Any advice or experience you've had would be great! EDIT: App has already been processed too.

Hey everyone, This will be/is my second time applying. Last year I received 2 IIs and 2 WLs at DO programs. I had a 3.21 sGPA, 3.28 cGPA, and 500 MCAT. I have very unique, continuous ECs with different types of clinical exposure and volunteering with the underserved. I also have a compelling...

I recently received a LOE from my research PI and all seemed well. I had previously asked him about a friend of his who is a doctor in a very rural part of the state because I was interested in shadowing him. However, this doctor is no longer practicing, so he sent out some emails to try and...

I updated a bunch of schools with the final grades from my grad program and have since received an interview invite from one of the schools I updated. Recently, I was made aware that an "A" I received was meant to be recorded as a "B+": all of this AFTER I already sent my updates. Obviously I...

I have had 1 II and have been accepted to one MD school this cycle. I don't have any other II and don't realistically expect one at this point (borderline applicant, ORM, this is my state school). I made a mistake on my AMCAS that I didn't notice until after it had been verified. I listed my...

Just out of curiosity, has a med school ever accidentally accepted an applicant and then had to say "jk that was a mistake?"

While recording hours for a service trip, I accidentally put down the total number of hours I spent on the trip than the total number of hours I spent actually working on the trip. I didn't realize the mistake until after submitting the application. Should I update every school reporting the...

I went back and looked at my AMCAS personal statement....and I realized its ALL ONE BIG BLOB AND NO PARAGRAPHS. I worked extremely hard and I thought it was a great essay. However, now that I see its like this I'm afraid medical schools will overlook me from the get go. Any advice??

While reviewing my AMCAS for one of my secondaries I noticed I accidentally labeled a previous job as "Community Service/Volunteer - Not Medical/Clinical." It was a paid job. Somehow I missed this mistake when proofreading my app. I'm worried that this will be a red flag b/c it could look as...

I submitted my personal statement after having written the document in microsoft word. I copied then pasted the document to the AMCAS application, and after re-reading it. I submitted. When I go to look at everything after submission, it deleted my last 4 letters of my personal statement.... and...

Hi everyone, I would appreciate some help and brutally honest advice. I am an FL resident, and applied to the following schools: FIU FAU USF FSU UF UM UCF University of South Carolina Greenville Medical University of South Carolina South Carolina School of Medicine Morehouse School of...

For those who have been accepted, what's something that you regret doing as a pre-med, or something that you were lucky to have gotten away with? It doesn't have to be incriminating, although that would make things more interesting. Mine is that I did virtually nothing during my gap year, apart...

Hi all so I am getting suspended from college for a year for a really dumb cheating incident that occurred back when I was a freshman. I won't serve my punishment until after my sophomore year because I was fighting the case. During that time I will be joining the Army National Guard as a medic...

So I'm on my OB rotation and the teaching has been subpar to say the least. A lady was in labor today and terrified about having a laceration so as she was pushing (2+ station) I was doing some posterior pressure with perineal massage. Now at this point it is just me and the labor nurses. The...

I sent a letter of interest and I wrote the schools name as: XXX School of Dental medicine instead of XXX School of Dentistry!!! How bad is this... will it affect my chances... what should I do Thanks =)
