Hello! This is my first post ever. So, I was wondering what are some awesome extracurriculars to apply to medical school with? I know all of you might say something like "do something that you enjoy", but I enjoy a lot of things. I just want to know what accepted medical students have done...

Should I take General Chemistry II over the summer? I’m at a community college and plan on taking it here during the summer which is 1 month and 7 days long. Or should I take it for an entire semester instead so it won’t be too fast-paced?

I plan on taking math 1324 (TX), Mathematics for Business and Social Sciences. Is this a good math course for getting into medical school and will it satisfy the math pre-req? Or is business calc more desirable? I know some people who got into med school who never took calc in college and I plan...

Is sociology a good major for getting into a medical school in the US? I understand you can major in whatevery you want as long as you take the pre-reqs but statistically some majors have low chances of getting into medical school, such as health care studies, which has low acceptance rates and...

Hi all, Did some searching and was unable to find anything particularly specific to my question, so here goes. I'm currently 27 (almost 28) and am finally in a position work-wise where I can potentially take pre-med courses part-time at my local college/CC and/or online while still working...

Forgive me if the title of this thread seems confusing, but I have a few questions. I am a URM (Black Woman, 26) and I finally decided to pursue my original dream of becoming a physician. I graduate in June with my Bachelors in Health Science (finally), but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to...

Hello, I was wondering if I can get your advice on something. I have a very low GPA (2.5) I am about to complete my 3rd year. My GPA is low due to some personal and family problems, and the dean of my school did not believe that it should have impacted my grades as much as it did. Thus, I am...

Hello, I was wondering if I should transfer schools or stay in the university I’m going to start this next fall. I’ll be entering Kean University for their Pre-Med program and most of the courses offered there aren’t offered in many other schools. I’m trying to get into my dream medical...

So I cofounded a tech startup with two other people that is now appraised at 7.5 million dollars - the problem is, I no longer find the work we're doing fulfilling (and I have a few issues with the people I started it with) and I would rather pivot and focus on other projects. If I leave now...

So this may be kind of long... I’m not the smartest, but I am a hard worker. Averaging B’s in most of my classes needed to take (i do have a few C’s) However one horrible semester brought my GPA down tremendously & it’s been hard trying to bring it back up (currently at a 2.58) I’m taking...

Why are B-'s so bad? Why are they so frowned upon when technically its a 80-82?

If I'm not mistaken the cGPA is only for undergrad, but does sGPA carry into grad programs/post-baccs? I'll be taking physics, biochem, and orgo lab as a post-bacc and wasn't sure if these courses would be counted towards my sGPA.

I'm curious to know if medical schools recruit students based on MCAT scores similar to how SAT/ ACT scores where in high school. Are medical schools able to view everyone's scores and offer admission to those with the top scores? Can medical schools even recruit students whether referring to...

I'm a pre med freshman. I need to know what classes I need to take for the MCAT. I know I have to take General Biology 1&2, General Chemistry 1-3, Organic Chemistry 1&2, Physics 1-2, Biochemistry, Sociology, Psychology. But do I need to take statistics? Should I take statistics instead of...

So for my first two years of med school, I do not need to purchase the school's health insurance because I am covered under my parent's insurance. Does this mean that if I take out the full COA I will get the money that would have gone towards my Health Insurance or do they subtract it from my...

Hey everyone, I thought I would make this thread in case anyone had questions about this program. Cheers!

Writing isn't my strongest skill bare with me. I current have a c1.75 gpa with 37 earned credits and a couple of W & F's in my transcript 10+. I struggled with school for 8 or so semesters. I lost my scholarships so I was not going to pull out loans, I basically ran out of money for college...

When I was 18, I made a really horrible mistake and was convicted of (credit card fraud) which is a felony. That is the only thing that I have been in trouble for. I have completely changed my life around since then and I want to go after my dream of being an anesthesiologist. I am now 20, and I...
