pre-med

Hi everyone! Okay, so I am in a dilemma right now. I want to take physics before graduating, but I'm in a limited seat undergrad science program at my university where the college already picks and registers semester classes for me as apart of the program. As a result, if I take physics, I will...

How good would it look to med schools if a pre-med got a CNA certification and worked part time as a nurses assistant? Is it worth the hassle?

I never originally in high school thought about becoming a doctor, I always wanted to be a detective, I even got into a school in the top 5% for Criminology. Then reality hit, I found that path not viable. I then decided since I loved helping people so much and helping children especially, I...

Yes I know my statistics and resume are nowhere near impressive and there is no excuse for that. If anyone could steer in the proper direction it would be greatly appreciated. • Year in school: Junior • Country/state of residence: MI, USA • Schools to which you are applying:Unsure of but...

Hey guys, so I just took the MCAT in January. I got a 501. Really not what I wanted (my ultimate goal is a ~508). I knew what I was getting based on my AAMC FL, but I didnt give myself enough time to practice or didnt do so efficiently i think. I didnt void cause I heard schools see if you void...

Hi, I'm currently a freshman Biology (concentration in Genetics) / Pre-Med student. First and foremost, I know I want a career between medicine and genetics. I've considered genetic counseling before, but from what I've found it is not as hands on as I would like. So I guess my question comes...

I started a band with 2 other guys last November, I play drums. It is a serious time commitment as we all practice A LOT, and will be playing public shows. We used to practice 10-20 hours per week. Would this be something that can be counted as an EC for an application? or no?

Here's the link to the google forms, should be a quick easy survey :) I appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me with my research! [removed]

After spending many restless nights reading all these forum posts and worrying, I finally decided to post my stats and whatnots here to see if I can get any help... Every day goes by so quickly and I feel like I'm not doing anything to increase my chances of getting into med school... To begin...

Hi everyone, I am in need of some advice. I applied to top heavy medical schools for the 2016-2017 cycle and have not received any II. I am thinking of reapplying next cycle and welcome any advice possible. 2016 Biology/Community Health Graduate Currently working as a Research Assistant in a...

Does anyone know if the JHSIP notifies applicants on a case-by-case basis or if they alert everyone March 1st? Has anyone else applied or attended? I applied to BSI Microbiology, Pulm and Crit Care, and the stem cell research.

Hey guys, so I would really appreciate some advice. I'm a sophomore (Chem major, pre-med). My school uses a plus/minus grading system; in order to pass a class you have to get at least a C (you fail with a C-). We can replace our grade if we fail a class and the new grade will be factored into...

Hey guys, I just want some advice on whether or not I should take this opportunity. It's a 8 month commitment, doing 8 hours a week. They will write you a good letter of recommendation at the end of it and of course it will count as volunteer hours. It's a free health clinic serving the...

I'm starting my pre-med in 3 days (WHOOP WHOOOP). I'm really excited and antsy about it. I live in Indiana with my husband and his two kids and am really trying to stay in state. I am starting my pre-med classes in CC to get my gen eds done ( calc, english, foreign language). I'm 21 now, I...

I haven't taken the grad school tests or graduated yet, but I'm wondering what I can hope for with good scores. I have around a 2.9 from Johns Hopkins University. With great test scores could I get into a good grad program or good post-bacc??

Is cold calling a viable strategy for being able to shadow an internist? I don't have a doctor I know well near me, so I don't really have any connections that I can use to find someone to shadow. What other ways could I go about finding shadowing opportunities? Thanks for your help!

I am currenlty working as a Army Healthcare Recruiter. I have been doing so about 4 years. So far I have had HPSP in medical, dental, optometry, nurse practioner, CRNA and veterinary programs. I also have had someone accepted into the Masters in Social Work, GPN program at Baylor and LTHET...

Okay so my first semester of college I took classes for the nursing major, then second semester I started nursing classes but withdrew in Feb because I decided I didn't want to be a nurse. Then first semester of sophomore year I switched my major to business and did all business related classes...

Hey all, I'm planning on taking the MCAT at the end of this summer. The only pre-reqs I have left are Organic II (taking in the spring), Biochem I (taking in a summer intersession), and Sociology. I wanted to take Sociology online during the spring, but the class filled up before I could...

Hi guys, I have a quick question. I went away my first year of school and then came back due to a change of major so I went to a community college and got my associates. I then went on to another college but was very disappointed with the education I received and the money I was paying. Long...

I took Physics I (calc based) at a university my senior year of high school and got an A (it was a real struggle though, I do not like the material). I'm now a junior in college registered to take Physics II (alg based). Is this doable? Should I be worried? How much of Physics I do I need for...

Has anyone heard of the interdisciplinary UT Austin Humanities Honors program? https://liberalarts.utexas.edu/humanities/ I was invited to do it after admittance into COLA for BS Psyc. I'm interested in the program as you create your own major and course curriculum and they claim it offers...

I completely understand the amount of questions possibly asked about this topic. I just have a specific instance I was hoping some fellow pre-med/docs would be able to help me answer. I recently finished up my general eds at a community college and plan to start picking a bachelor's degree...

Hello, I know that there are many posts like this, but I'd like an answer based on my current situation. So, out schools posted final grades today and, as you can see by the title, I made a C in physics. I made an A+ in a Biology elective, an A in Biochem I, and an A in Molec cell. I really...

I will be taking the MCAT in Jan-March, first practice test I didn't do too well but I am not discouraged. I will probably be able to obtain three LOR's by the time I apply but I don't have one yet. I'll probably have a real good one from a physician across the street from me who I have shadowed...

Hi! I'm a freshman and my major is biomedical sciences. I'm currently in my first semester and I'm taking Gen Chem 1 as my only science but next semester I'm going to take Physics 1 and Gen Chem 2 and in the summer I'll be taking Bio 1 and Physics 2 (maybe???). Next fall, I'll take orgo, etc...

I am a current first-semester freshman at the University of Southern California, majoring in human biology. I just switched my major from Chemistry to Human Biology. Although I am only a freshman, I am extremely stressed about my grades and GPA already. I have never been a bad student (all A's...

So I'm a junior pre-med student who is majoring in Biology. I am contemplating switching to Movement science because i LOVED my anatomy class. I am so much more interested in the way the human body works and would rather focus on this for the rest of my time in undergrad rather than looking at...

Stressing out right now. Don't want to take a gap year. Have a low gpa. Do anyone have any success stories of getting into D.O school with low gpa? Just want to know if anyone else struggled as badly as i did and was able to improve and get into D.O school. sGPA 3.1 cGPA 3.0 300+ hours of...

Currently a junior. Recently decided to go into DO school....did not have much guidance during college, first two years were very tough with low gpa. Recently decided to go into osteopathic medicine. Have a lot of C's. New to this, have a lot of questions but don't know who to ask so posting on...

So, I know that this question is asked a lot, but it is a rather personal one that I have already done hours of research on and would like a diverse perspective! Here are my current stats: Neuroscience Major, Completed Spanish Minor GPA: 4.0 MCAT: Not yet taken (will take this summer, already...

Okay so I am stuck at a point where I'm not exactly sure what to do. I know I am taking a gap year for sure and hopefully will be ready to apply next cycle and hopefully be interviewing come next fall. That being said I would really like to know if people think it is feasible for a number of...

As of now, I am about 5 credits away from ending my sophomore year of college. Because I took some time off of school, I plan to receive my BA in the fall of 2018 or winter of 2019 (normally, I would've finished undergrad in the spring of 2018). I plan to apply for medical school around this...

Hi All, I wanted to ask what everyone thinks the best use of a gap year time would be. I recently just graduated ASU with a major in Biological Sciences (Genetics, Cell & Developmental) with a 3.58 cumulative. I think my sGPA is somewhere around 3.6 but I am not 100% sure. Currently I am...

So I am planning to go into a pre-med program possible after I get my associates in Biology or if I end up transferring for the following spring or fall but ended up withdrawing/dropping a class due to work overload. I was taking 5 classes and 3 of them with separate labs. I am working part-time...
