Hi guys! I want to apply to DO and MD programs but if I apply to the same schools will this put me at a disadvantage? Similar to how applying PA and MD to the same schools does.

I've been fortunate enough to be accepted to handful of MD schools, however, none have given me any type of scholarships. Should I be applying for outside scholarships? Is it worth it? do people actually get scholarships from sites like fastweb and others? Does anyone have advice on getting...

Hi all, Hope someone can advise on this specific situation. All of my LORs have letterheads, besides one that my former post-bacc director is writing for me. Since they left the school after my completion of the program, they’re saying that they’d be happy to write it as my former...

I'm in the process of completing an application for an MD-PhD program and of course the question about past research experience has come up. Two summers ago I approached a professor from my department as I was interested in carrying out a project under them. They interviewed me and I was told...

Hey everyone! I'm posting this because I do not see a current thread for those who have been given an invite to apply or interview for this program. I applied to the medical school and was invited to apply for the program. I can't find much on what benchmarks must be made in the program to gain...

Hello all. I am currently in a dilemma as I am finding it very difficult to go back to school to complete my pre-requisites to apply to medical school while working full time nights as a nurse. In the Fall I tried to take a general chemistry course but had to drop out a few weeks after the start...

I'm a junior and my science GPA is about 3.79. Non science is about 3.9. I am VERY concerned about the number of A minuses I have. I have about five of them on my transcript. Also this semester I'm taking three science classes and two labs and I feel like I'm also gonna get an A minus in every...

I'm an undergrad student currently taking my prerequisites at a university. I know that med schools require that you send all your post secondary transcripts, but my question is about high school transcripts and/or diploma. Do they ask for your school to send a copy of your diploma for education...

Hey everyone, so if I have both volunteering and shadowing experiences, do I necessarily have to work, for example, as a medical assistant? I understand that having a job in medicine is very helpful in exposing yourself more to the medicine field, but I was wondering if having volunteering and...

This forum is so cool! I wish I had known about it a few months ago. I don't want to abuse it at the expense of people who really want answers, so disclaimer: I already submitted my apps and I think I can get at least one acceptance. I ask more out of curiosity at this point, so please only...

Hello, I am currently in my 3rd year of UG. I am a pre-med hopeful but definitely unsure but still very much wanna be a doctor. I was a great student in high school in the top 5% of my class and a great SAT score. However, I came into college as an engineering major and took core...

I'm an incoming freshman majoring in Astrophysics as a pre-med major. Is there anyone who is doing/has done this before? I would like to hear people's opinions/advice on doing something as difficult as this as a pre-med.

So I'm in a bit of a predicament. I originally took Organic Chemistry I at my school. At my school lecture (3) and lab (1) are combined to be one grade and I received a C- and most DO schools need a "C" or higher for the prereqs. I'm retaking the class this summer and avoiding taking it in Fall...

Hi, I am currently a 3rd year in my undergrad. I am planning to enroll in a postbacc program before med school to enhance my academic standings and better prepare me for the mcat. However, I am wondering if I should take physics (which I will be taking in my senior year) since I will be taking...
