Hello everyone, I'm a non-trad that is currently repairing GPA/finishing undergrad with around 3 years left. After doing research, I've discovered that volunteer hours and even shadowing can be positive factors on a medical school application. I work at a hospital pharmacy as a tech, and...

Hi, just seeking some advice (yes, I have a pre-health advisor, I am just curious/interested to hear other perspectives). Anyways, I'm a senior at the University of Colorado and graduating in May. 3.55 GPA and 512 mcat (took it in August). Beyond that, I have some clinical experience as an ER...

I was looking at Johns Hopkin's requirements and they had 1 semester w/ lab of orgo and a 3-4 credit biochem class as the only listed requirements related to chem (+ year of gen chem w/ labs) so is this like the general pre req rule or is johns hopkins an exception in this matter?

Hey! Is anyone applying to this / has applied to this? What are your stats? Past attendees and applicants, tips?

The majority of our lower level sciences are in the chemistry or biology department, but the upper level courses which are substantially harder are in the nursing department, but they're literally all biology based (I'm referring to clinical rotations & pharmacology) and they're harder than my...

Hi everyone, I'm a sophomore in my University and I was wondering what kind of jobs you did as a pre-Med. Or, if you are a pre-med, what kind of job do you currently have? I really want to get a job in order to get some form of income for school and to get some experience. I've seen some...

Hello all, I am a new member, long time reader of these forums and have seen several posts regarding 7 year medical programs with pros and cons. The one I am considering is in my home state and would have me transfer schools for my junior year and then begin MS1 the following year. This...

Hello everyone, A big thank you to anyone who responds to my questions, I really appreciate it! I am a senior graduating with a degree in Public Health hoping to go into PM&R (Physiatry). I'll be graduating with a 3.2 having finished almost all the premed reqs up to Organic Chemistry 1 (Missing...

Hi! I'm wondering on my chances of getting into a good post-bacc premed program. Specifically what role GPA plays in admission. I only took a few pre-med classes in college so I'd do one of the programs where you take the pre-med courses. Anyway, my GPA isn't the highest it's a bit above a...

Hi everyone, This is my very first time writing a thread on any online forum so please bare with me. Just a little background, I am in my 2nd year in University and I have failed 3 of my courses. They are Statistics, a Biology class, and a History class. In addition, I'm only a 'C' student...

Hi, I'm a 26 year old who is not very happy with my chosen career. I had always planned on the medical field as an occupation while growing up because the thing I like learning about the most is the human body...it's fascinating, and my original goal was Nursing school. But as that time drew...

Stats: URM cGPA 2.79 sGPA 2.71 >400 hours volunteering/working in healthcare as an ER Tech >300 hours non-clinical community service ~50 shadowing hours D1 student athlete I graduated and returned to my college this semester to start retaking Biochem (F), Thermodynamics (F) and Differential...

I plan on taking Calculus next year but don't know which to take. My school offers Life Sciences Calculus or Calculus 1 (but you cant use a calculator for Calc 1). Would Calc 1 be easier since we can't use a calculator or is Life Sciences Calc the better choice? What makes the two courses...

Hey SDN! so recently I have decided that I am going to do a post-bacc before I apply to med school. I was going through a bunch of information and was confused about the difference between a post bacc and an "extension". I was looking up the lists of schools that offer pre med post baccs in...

So this is my first time posting. I'm trying to understand how the whole background check works. If someone called the police on you but you never got any citation or evidence that you were charged with something, does that show up on the background check? or if you ended up going to the...

Need some clarification for a neurotic pre med. I graduated in May 2015 and have just completed one semester of organic lab (paid 600$ out of pocket), which most schools have as an admission requirement/recommendation. However, the school which I took the lab at splits up Orgo lab into a year...

I know there's lots of posts on this but wanted to share my credentials. I'm looking to take orgo I & II (lab during normal semester) in the summer. It's at the same university I go to and it's basically because I'm a year behind on the pre med track and taking orgo in the summer would allow me...

Hi everyone, I recently had a rough semester and unfortunately got a C in physics I. As of now my cGPA is a 3.42 and sGPA is 3.0 I still have 3 semesters left in which I plan on raising my GPA to a 3.51/3.45 respectively with upper level bio courses and research credit. I also do have good extra...

Hey SDN World, I started my journey as a non-traditional student a year ago. My past few threads are somewhat of a time capsule that document my progress and, hopefully, provide information for future students like me. So here's an update of my fall 2016 semester... I took Organic I, Intro...

My 1st semester did not go well and I know my first semester's GPA will affect my medical school chances unless I change my study habits and therefore my overall narrative of pre-med at WashU. In regards to changing study habits, I always ask my peers what they do to study and the typical same...

Hi, I'm currently a sophomore interested in applying to med school and I'm a little worried about how my chances look right now. I currently have 2 C's, 2 C+ and a D (pre calc) on my transcript. I plan on retaking the class I got a D in but I'm worried about how med schools are going to view me...

Hey guys! I'm sorry if this is an obvious question but I'm honestly not sure. I took some prerequisite classes during high school such as college algebra (MATH 1320) and Elementary Chemistry (CHEM 1090). I also took a statistics course under the department of research and measurement -...

Hello. I'm a first year at UCLA. I did well my first quarter; however I do not believe this school is the right place for me. I truly wish to transfer to UCI. I am currently planning on sticking it out the rest of this year and transferring. However, would this be looked down upon by medical...

Hey everyone! I'm currently in my sophomore year of college (1st semester) and was looking for some advice. My grades so far have been less than stellar. Despite knowing that med school is where my heart is at, i've been finding it difficult to get good grades in most of my science courses (4.0...

Hello. I'm currently a microbiology student. I'm on my third year and I have never retaken a class. I had a 4.00 GPA until I took precalculus and precalculus 2 (got a C and a D). I also have an associate degree in chemistry with a 3.76GPA, but it does not count because it was in another school...

I am just wrapping up my first semester of pre-med. My GPA isn't even close to what I wanted it to be. Cumulatively, I have a 3.6 from classes that I got college credit for in high school, (which makes me feel a lot better.) The point of this post isn't to complain about my GPA, though. I have...

Hello, I am a 19 year old honors student and just finished my first semester of sophomore year. I graduated high school with over a 4.0 GPA. Depression, however, has had a big impact on me over the past few years. I have always wanted to be in the medical field, either as an MD or PA. I am now...

I am currently a high school freshman. I have heard that I shouldn't focus on a career now, but I am sure this is what I want to do. Are there any majors that would be best in college? And what are the best colleges for a medical undergrad? I read Pre-Med major has awful scores on the MCATs. I...

Hello! I have quite a story haha I completed my associates degree with my high school diploma and my grades were not too great, I had multiple B's and C's and failed 2 classes (General Chem 2 and College Algebra) I continued onto university and I failed General Chem 2 again and Physics 1 I...

I am a first year psychology student at UTM, and I am in the process of making my 4 year plan. I was a little bit worried about fulfilling pre-requisite courses throughout my degree as I hope to be accepted into the "Behaviour, Genetics, and Neurobiology" specialist program, however I have...

Looking for some input here. I am currently taking an equivalent of general physics 1 (of my school's 3 quarter general physics sequence) abroad. It will show up on my transcript as equivalent to my school's general physics 1 class (I got it pre approved) and I will have general physics 2 and 3...

Hi everyone, I am a senior at Georgia Southern University who will be graduating with a History Degree in May 2017. I should be graduating with a GPA between 3.85-3.88. I chose History because I was planning on going in the Army after graduation and I'm interested in History, not because I had...

Im thinking of fast tracking a bachelors degree. Its a 3 year long program in psychology. My concern is, with their curriculum, Im not sure i will be able to do the premed requirements. Does this sound like a bad idea? I would be transferring in from a community college with already the half...

So my university has "regional campuses" that are much smaller. I was wondering if medical schools can see if you took classes there or not? I took classes for one year at the regional campus for my university. I'm asking because when I look at my transcript and degree audit online, it shows up...

I have to take Physics I & II over the summer or Orgo I & II to stay on track, so just in general which do yo guys think is worse to take over the summer. In summer I'll have to take physics labs so it's 5 credits in 5 weeks and another 5 for the second summer session. Organic chem lab is 2...

Thank you to all who have taken the time to read my post. I am feeling a bit dejected at the moment with my current situation in regards to school. As stated in the title, I'm a URM (Salvadorian female). I've got a paltry 3.24 gpa, and have taken only one science course (bio) in which I...
