Hey all. Just been stressing out and working on my med applications (2025/2026 cycle). Note: I am a Canadian applicant. Been studying for the MCAT (projecting 520s if all goes well based off FLs) GPA is on the much lower side due to a horrible first year (0.5 GPA...yeah) Without it my GPA...

I am a 26 year old community college student who is trying to figure out what to major in. I met with the career services office at my school not that long ago after taking an aptitude assessment called You Science. The assessment told me that Anesthesiology would be a fair fit and that other...

Hi! I could use advice on deciding between these 3 schools. I am from NY and am likely to pursue primary care (family med or OB/GYN). At the moment, I'd like to do residency in the northeast, but I know that could change. TouroCOM Middletown Pros: -close to home/support system, 1hr away...

I just want to post a review about ARCOM. I am currently a second year. I have spent a lot of time with faculty, staff, and upperclassmen. I used to love this school a lot. This school just keeps going downhill year after year, it's sad. We have lost quite a few professors and will lose a few...

Hi there, While I have been on SDN for some time now, this is my first time composing a thread, so bear with me please! As the title suggests, I was hoping to have some help with choosing a college to pursue a pre-DO pathway into medicine. I don't plan to specialize, just serve as a regular...

Hi Everyone! It feels surreal, but first time posting a WAMC thread & school list suggestion as an upcoming applicant for 2021’s application. I want to start by saying that I have been considering applying to DO Programs throughout the university; thank you in advance for all your support...

Hello, I wanted to know how this would impact Pre-DO students like me who plan to mainly go DO schools as non-trad reinventors. I know PE is still there but w/ Step 1 P/F and Step 2 gone how would I make the case of being competitive for say Rads or EM. I know it's way early thinking about this...

Hi everyone, I submitted most of my post-bacc applications and I just got my first rejection letter ... got me thinking I should have addressed my low GPA in my personal statement more. For the CAS system, they calculated my overall GPA to be 3.11 .... I didn't anticipate this, since I went to...

Hi! I’m honestly super confused about LECOM and med school in general, so I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I‘m a 24 year old non-traditional Pre-Med (so bio) major anout to finish my first semester of my sophomore year. I have ~700 hours of “shadowing”, but this was...

I have been fortunate enough to receive acceptances at a few medical schools and I’m trying to decide which makes the most sense to move forward with. Note - I also have a few pending II’s and want to be certain I would rather go to a different school before withdrawing from my II. I’m...

I am a senior in college that was formerly pre-dental but I decided I want to be pre-med just this semester. I’m considering whether or not I should apply this upcoming admission cycle (And spend all the money that comes with applying) given my stats and background. Would you be able to tell me...

Hello everyone. This is a Texas Pre-Med here. While researching Medicine and Medical schools, I have been focusing, nowadays, on the grants and all the different types of aid I can receive if (Hopefully) I get accepted to a Medical school/various Medical schools. So, can you guys guide me on...

Lol I tried to make the title rhyme to get you guys attention :happy: But my situation is quite serious. I caught myself between a rock and a hard place where I currently have a VERY low GPA and need to figure out what is the next step for me. Here's some context information: I grew up being...

Hi everyone, I just got my MCAT back today and scored a 503 (125/128/125/125). A little disappointed because it’s lower than my FL averages but relieved I can apply.

Hey everyone, I was wondering how to approach talking about medical mission trips on my "Experiences" for the AACOMAS application. I went to Costa Rica for a week to volunteer. I know there is this idea of "rich" kids going to a 3rd world country to look good on their application. I am not rich...

Hi all been a follower of this site for quite some time. I really appreciate all the time everyone dedicates giving advice and guiding us pre med students. I am currently wrapping up my junior year and am seeking advice. I constantly find myself discouraged and debating if I should continue...

I’ve always wanted to go MD, but some poorer grades freshman and sophomore year have made my cGPA a 3.3 and my sGPA a 3.2. I am in a masters of physiology, where I have a 4.0 (that will continue after this semester). I’m really not sure if I should just go DO based on my undergrad GPA or try and...

Welcome one and all, to the TMDSAS 2019-2020 application cycle! I'm not going to repeat everything in the Application handbook but just some tips to save you from frustration. DON'T use the back button on your browser while working on your application. DON'T copy/paste your essays into the...

Hey there, I applied to NSU-KPCOM's MBS program and didn't see a thread for 2019 so I decided to make one! I am in-state applicant and I am wondering any out of state applicants, where are you guys from? Anyone receive an interview yet??

So here is my current situation. I currently got a 499 on my MCAT (RIP) but I plan on retaking in August and I expect to do significantly better. My plan right now is to apply in June. My question is whether or not medical schools will see me signed up in August to take it again and whether...

I was wondering if asking for a letter of recommendation from a priest I have grown close with would be frowned upon by adcoms. Much of my ECs have come from serving at my church in various activities for many years. I believe he could write me a strong letter of recommendation because of how...

Hey everyone! I was recently accepted and I have ~5 months until orientation week. I was wondering if could receive some recommendations as to what I could be doing to further prepare myself for medical school to make the transition smoother. It could be life hacks, suggestions for books to...
