I would like to say thank you in advance for taking the time to read this. My current circumstance is the following: I have messed up in undergrad and currently have a 2.53 GPA. It was a combination of family problems, but I've learned to prioritize my career more than my family at this...

I majored in the humanities at UM and graduated magna cum laude / Phi Beta Kappa in May of 2015 with a 3.9 GPA. Recently, I was accepted to Michigan's new postbacc pre-med program, MEDPREP. My decision to pursue a career in medicine came late in the current admissions cycle, so UM is the only...

I am a sophomore at a great school in North Carolina. I have a few questions. Do medical schools look at the difficulty of our undergraduate institutions? My school is definitely not the easiest, and I have heard many people say that. Should I forgo my pre-med classes to prevent further damage...

Dear SDN. First I'd like to take the time to thank everyone who's taking the time to read this. I really appreciate it. Before I ask my question. I'd like to give a very quick summary of my current situation. [Current Situation/Standing] I'm graduating with a BBA (Bachelors of business...

I am a senior in high school and my parents are making me be a nurse. I didn't really have much of a direction and so, even though I don't want to be a nurse, I had no other choice really. My parents are also the kind of people who will just drag me down after like 5 years in school and...

So I wanted to further my education regardless and a DNP program is 4 years and the same cost as most medical schools. That being said from what I've seen I prefer the medical model (which lots of nps do, but doctor's have more specialization options + more autonomy) and just find it more...

Hello everyone, My background: In early 2014, I was a junior when I took the MCAT and got an average 27 with a 6 on verbal, which bombed my score. I didn't apply to any school till 2016 application, last year. Although my resume is filled with research, clinical work, leadership and EMT stuff...
