didnt know how to delete this after posting on the wrong section, sorry

Hi everyone, I'm hoping for some words of encouragement as I unfortunately, became subject to immense difficulties within the past few weeks. To get started, I'm currently a college senior majoring in Psychology. My major GPA is a 3.5, and cumulative GPA at this university is a 3.32. This 3.32...

I'm posting this thread in hopes that I'll be able to get some current help. Right now, I'm an upper-sophomore English major at a CUNY school. I went into college thinking I'd give English up and be strictly pre-med, but I found myself totally disengaged and disconnected from professors in my...

Hey Guys! Over the past few months, I've made the decision to switch professions from film and TV over to medicine. I want to do a post bacc program with the hopes of getting into medical school after the post bacc. I was going to apply for schools in New York (I'm from CT) such as NYU, Hunter...

Hi Guys! Please don't be scared by the long post, i've just thought long and hard and really need your feedback on what I should do next in my pre-med journey. So I am currently a senior entering my last semester as a cell & molecular biology major. Right now, I have a 3.4 cGPA and 3.1 scGPA so...

Hello everyone, A big thank you to anyone who responds to my questions, I really appreciate it! I am a senior graduating with a degree in Public Health hoping to go into PM&R (Physiatry). I'll be graduating with a 3.2 having finished almost all the premed reqs up to Organic Chemistry 1 (Missing...

Hi! I'm wondering on my chances of getting into a good post-bacc premed program. Specifically what role GPA plays in admission. I only took a few pre-med classes in college so I'd do one of the programs where you take the pre-med courses. Anyway, my GPA isn't the highest it's a bit above a...

I am currently a Senior in undergraduate studies, majoring in Economics. My undergraduate cumulative GPA is a 3.23, my science GPA is 2.25 (21 credits worth of AMCAS science classes total). What brings my grades and especially my science GPA is my first semester classes. I need advice on how to...

Hi! First time posting here, in need of some serious real talk advice. I really want to become a doctor. Always have, always will. But I think I might have ****ed up too much, and I'm here to ask whether I should take a chance and push on or give up. 23 y/o female, Indian, who recently...

Hi Guys, Sorry to flood SDN with all these Post-bacc and SMP questions. My university advisors are literally good for nothing, so I come here for advice. Basically, I'm deciding on taking upper level classes before I apply to dental school to raise my GPA. Many have recommended enrolling as a...

Hi everyone! I was wondering what would be the most effective way of raising my GPA. I have a 3.3 right now (it should go up more by the end of the school year) and my science GPA is also a 3.3. I did well in all my science courses but I did not do so well in the math classes which lowered it a...

Hey SDN! so recently I have decided that I am going to do a post-bacc before I apply to med school. I was going through a bunch of information and was confused about the difference between a post bacc and an "extension". I was looking up the lists of schools that offer pre med post baccs in...

I've looked around for similar threads and found older entries. I apologies for the repeat, but wanted to create one for more recent answers. I'm a business and psychology major with a 3.1 GPA. I'm looking for a post bacc program that I would have a shot at that can be completed in less than 2...

Valid message

Hello Everyone, Long time reader, but this is my first post so I apologize ahead of time for the length. I want to be specific in order to hopefully get the best advise possible. I graduated with in 2013 with a Bachelors in Political Science with Higher Ed Cumulative GPA of 3.1 from a local...

Hello, I am senior at a top LAC school graduating this coming summer as a non-science major. I have completed most of my prereqs, but not all (mainly physics II, but I have also yet to take many upper level sciences courses). I talked to my pre-med advisor, and she suggested PA school, mainly...

I am taking a gap year this coming year and applying for entry to med school for 2018. My stats for now (I still have one more semester): cumulative GPA: 3.48 science GPA: 3.42 (I have gotten all A's for the past two semester though, if that makes a difference) MCAT: 516 (CARS: 128/129) EC...

Hey Everybody! I've been looking around for a decent Post-Bacc program that could either link me into medical school (ie. goucher, Drexel PTMS) or an overall top-tier program without linkage (ie. Mills, Brynn Maar). My last semester as an undergraduate (Whitman College) is ending this coming...

Hey SDN World, I started my journey as a non-traditional student a year ago. My past few threads are somewhat of a time capsule that document my progress and, hopefully, provide information for future students like me. So here's an update of my fall 2016 semester... I took Organic I, Intro...

Hey guys so I am a senior this year planning on applying to a post bacc program for next summer/fall. I currently have a 2.9 overall gpa and a very low science gpa maybe around 2.3. I just got a D in one of my science courses this semester as well that I have to retake next semester. My...

My end goal here is to eventually end up in medical school at some point. As of now, I've been looking into different post-bacc programs, as I'm looking to graduate in May 2017 with probably around a 3.2 and maybe like a 2.9 science GPA. Im from the NYC area and every post bacc program I've...

Hey, SND Fam, I'm new to the website and I finally figured out how to post a new thread. I have posted these questions elsewhere and have gotten some stellar responses and advice. I deleted most of my posts but the responses are still up. I'm still seeking advice and I hope that this helps...

This thread is for everyone that has been invited to apply to OSU's MEDPATH program! The applications are due January 31st. Good luck!!

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but I'm currently in the Master of Medical Science program at LECOM. We have the same guidelines as the post bacc students (get 3.0 or better in the fall semester and don't fail any classes), which if are met will grant us an interview at...

Hello! I am currently a junior at my university, and due to an undiagnosed health condition (which is documented on my medical records) I was unable to perform well in school and now have a very low GPA. I went from making a 3.7+ GPA per semester to barely passing classes. I took difficult...

Hi guys, I know everyone is waiting to here back from dental schools right about now and no one wants to think about the "back up" plan. With the academic semester coming to an end and the new semester approaching, I'm looking into applying to post-bacc programs since I haven't seen any...

Hi, I got accepted to Washington University St.Louis and USC so far. I am comparing two programs right now, and curriculum seems pretty similar. A difference that I noticed is that Wash U has linkage program and USC does not. I read some past threads about each schools program but I still...

Anyone on here applying to this? Looks like applications are due towards the end of January. I couldn't find a thread for program, if there's already one floating around somewhere I apologize. I still haven't learned how to efficiently navigate SDN.

This is gonna be a long post so brace yourselves. I would just like some general advice from anyone really - undergrads who may relate to my situation, current post-bacc students, or those who were accepted into medical school through a non-traditional path. So I'm currently in my senior year of...

Hello all, I'm a recent college grad finishing up my pre reqs for med school to hopefully enter this upcoming application cycle next spring. I NEED to take Physics 1 this spring semester, and have found it at a local college I've already been accepted to. However, I just realized that, while...

Hi Guys! Any reviews on DUKE MBS program? Success Rate? Housing? Anything you guys would like to ask or share about this program this is the place.....:)

I am a 23 year old female graduating next semester from a private university in Utah. I am graduating with a 2.5 GPA in microbiology. I have not taken physics, organic chem, or biochem. I didn't decide I wanted to do medical school until a month ago. I fear it is too late and I won't be able...

Hello, I recently graduated in March 2016 and am looking into Post-bacc programs and need some advice on what would be right for my situation. Main focus would be boosting GPA and studying for the MCAT. I had been admitted into a MS program therefor have never taken the MCAT but have taken GRE...

Hi all - For MD schools, you know more or less the competitiveness and where you stand in the pool of applicants. I am having trouble finding similar things for post baccs. Are they competitive? What makes applicants stick out better than others? Anyone who has been accepted or knows the...

Hi There, I am very new to the forum (actually just signed up). I have been reading so much these past couple of weeks and I am really hoping to get an unbiased opinion on what everyone thinks is my best plan of attack to pursuing a career in the health field. I am a career changer (currently...
