Hi all, I am posting here to ask if I should limit my applications to only DO schools, or push my application another year. I am in my 3rd gap year as an R&D organic chemist in industrial chem. I have wanted to be a physician my entire life, but I knew after undergrad, that I needed more...

I am in my second semester of college, and I am struggling badly with an ecology class---estimate a C in the course. I am confident that I can do well if I withdraw and retake it later, but is it worth the W on my transcript? I got a 4.0 last semester and am doing okay in the rest of my courses...

I want to know if you all think my school list is too ambitious or if you guys think I have a shot. Also, if you believe I should add any more schools (I'm mostly looking for global health). I was expecting a higher MCAT, but my score dropped on the real thing :( But, I am feeling a bit more...

Hi all, it’s as the title asks. I’m planning out my pre-med journey and realized that I will be finishing my last courses in June of 2026, with my graduation ceremony date being November 2026. If I were to get into med school from an application in the previous cycle (and therefore would start...

I had a meeting with our school's advisor who constantly compares us to our school's T20 accepted students. She started going off when I told her I'd like to apply to a couple T20s next year, telling me that nothing I have done was competitive enough and proceeded to tell me to retake my 518...

At the beginning of the pandemic, my parent's dental assistant left, and they could not find anyone to work at that time. I became their uncertified part-time dental assistant for a year (~400 hours) to help out, and I was paid. This experience taught me a lot about healthcare and building...

Hi everyone, I recently decided to switch back to being pre-med after being pre-dental for the last 2 years. I realized that it was what I really wanted to do and that I was avoiding it because of fear of failure. I know that I have a lot of work to do before I am ready to apply but I am willing...
