pre-med guidance

Hi everyone, so I'm a dietetic (clinical nutrition) student graduating this May from a Masters Program. Halfway through the program, I realized I wanted to dive way deeper into medicine and decided to shoot for medical school afterward. Here is where I'm torn... This program allows me to sit...

Hello everyone. I am a non-traditional 27yr old aspiring D.O. who finished my Biology with emphasis in medicine bachelors April 2021. I was lost and had a lot of personal/family hurdles/situations in the beginning and had to restart college twice with one academic expulsion in my first attempt...

Which are some great community colleges which offer all pre-med courses in WA state at an accelerated pace? I will eventually take some upper division courses from UW or another 4- year college but looking for affordable options at this time. I have a non-science undergrad major with a CGPA...

Hi pre-meds! I know its a little early, but I wanted to start a thread for the 2022 medicine intake through Atlantic Bridge. Please share a little bit about yourself, your stats, ECs, what schools you're applying to (length of program) etc. It would be nice to get connected with all of you :)...

Are premed advising corps recommended? For those of you have experience or received help on apps, how was it and what are the pros and come of getting that help in the premed years and guidance on the applications as well?

I have a few questions so I'll try to make this straight to the point! I'm currently pursuing a future career as a Neurosurgeon and I'm getting a tad bit close to the time to apply for Med School (sophomore in undergrad, bio major). I'm currently trying to build up a list of medical schools I...

Hi all, I am looking for some guidance on how to better portray my application and narrowing down a school list for reapplying to MD/DO (mostly DO) this cycle. I am aware of my terrible science gpa and the uphill battle I face with admissions, but believe that I have a compelling application to...

In a previous post I mentioned that my GPA isn't exactly ideal. I can end off my bachelors degree with a decent GPA somewhere around sGPA 3.8ish and cGPA 3.6ish. This is obviously not that competitive of a GPA, not too bad either but when they see my transcript and see how awful I did the past...

Hey, gang! I am currently a freshman and have applied for a few opportunities for this summer and I am (preemptively, since I don't know if I will be accepted to ANY of them) wondering which to go for. Track 1: Pre-Med Internship (Health Career Opportunity Program) for 4 weeks AND SHPEP...

Hi there, I am a non-traditional pre-med conflicted as to whether or not to pursue an MD. I have always been interested in public health, and want to devote my career to improving the lives of disadvantaged populations. Perhaps I want to have my cake and eat it too, but my dream is to be doing...

My science GPA is 2.95 and overall 3.2 as a chemistry and spanish major and I have not taken the MCAT yet. My plan is to raise my science GPA to at least a 3.0 taking post-bacc classes, take the MCAT, then apply to special masters programs. I have everything else including research...

Anyone have any information about this program? Know anyone who has completed the program or is currently enrolled? biology.gsu.edu/masters-biology-medical-science-mbms-concentration/ I already applied but I’m having to decide between this and a few other programs. Thank you in advance!

I have been accepted at the University of Louisville (MD program) and the four-year-old Liberty University of Osteopathic Medicine (LUCOM) (DO program). I loved both of them and would be happy attending either. However, there a few factors I need some help on. As of now, I want to go into...

Hello everyone, I am currently finishing up my last semester of undergrad and have recently been accepted into Meredith College's Pre-Health Post-Bac 2018-2019 cohort. My undergrad degree is in an unrelated field so the purpose of this post-bac is as a "career-changer" where I take all...

Hey. I am a first year at a top university in the U.S. I intend to declare a Biology major, however, I am not sure yet. My question is, do you think I should take (our) Gen Chem and Physics 1 in my sophomore year, or Gen Chem and a higher level Bio that is recommended for the MCAT, and...

I have recently graduated over the summer with a 3.0 cGPA. I have not taken the MCAT nor the pre reqs required to apply to Med school. My hope is to get all this completed now and finally get the acceptance into a program. After searching and browsing these forums for awhile, I have learned some...

How would co-owning a business as a pre-med student look on a med school application? Owning and managing a financial firm while still attending school full time, dedicating time to volunteering (some hours as a representative of the business) and clinical research. Does the fact that it is not...

Hi Everyone, I'm a high school senior graduating from a middle college program with two years of community college credits. I have to decide between going to The University of Michigan-Ann Arbor and Eastern Michigan University for the fall of this year. If I go to either, I will spend two years...

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...
