Hey y’all, I just wanted to post in search of some ways that you guys are getting those 4.0’s and 3.7’s in your Gen Chem’s and Orgo’s. I feel like anytime I put more focus on those classes then my easier class grades slip.

Pre-Med, GPA 3.9 (Freshman though, so, doesn't mean much), RVU CO & NYIT Westbury are my two top interests as of right now. Noticed that I've barely seen any threads about NYIT, and RVU threads are overwhelmingly almost always negative? (Not LECOM level, but nonetheless...) I'm assuming this is...

I am interested in PBL at LECOM. Touro has an anatomy lab which I assume is important as a medical student but I've gotten mixed reviews on that. I feel that the faculty were pretty great at both schools and equally pleased students on both ends. I looked through the match lists at both schools...

Hello SDN this is my very first post. I couldn't find an answer anywhere on on the site, but I remember looking up pre-reqs for for medical schools on the school websites and reading that one school did have an exception of some sort for this. I'm currently taking Gen Chem 2 and it includes...

I have lots of interest in attending both schools. They both seemed very similar and I am having a hard time choosing between the two. -Tuition is not much of a factor because ohio U increases their tuition for years 3 and 4 making it only negligibly cheaper overall. -I like the location of...

I was accepted to a DO school in the southeast. I applied to several schools (both MD and DO) in my home state (NY) and no success. I've already paid my deposit, but I am seriously considering retaking the MCAT and reapplying this cycle and hope for some success in my home state. Current...
