Hey fellow SDNers, I have a question regarding updating schools before an interview invite. I am lucky enough to already have an acceptance to an OOS school but am really crossing my fingers and hoping for an interview with one of my state schools close to where I live (secondary already...

I'm not applying until 2019-2020 cycle, but I have a personal statement written. My paper is largely about me being transgender and a few LGBT activities I participated in. My statement will most likely change over the next year, but I need a more refined version of it and a direction. Some of...

I was recently accepted into NYITCOM's 7 year program in which i would spend three years a as a undergrad at SUNY New Paltz and then take the MCAT and only be guaranteed matriculation into NYITCOM if i achieve the median MCAT score of the previous entering class and pass the interview. On the...

Hey, so I'm getting ready to apply this upcoming cycle and you now need to provide contact information for each of your activities. The physician I shadowed moved out of state to pursue a fellowship. I am unsure on what to do in terms of his contact information on my application. His office...

Hi All, So I just transferred to a new school (Florida Atlantic University) from a CC and am majoring in Neuroscience. I chose this major because I like psychology and human behavior and felt that I was missing this in a traditional bio major. Little did I know- this major is really tough at...

Hi guys! I just received my secondary application for Touro-CA. AACOMAS calculated my official cgpa to be 3.27 and my MCAT score is a 507... what do you think my chances are with these stats? Is it worth it to submit the secondary? I am also a California native/ graduated from UC Davis if that...

Hi all! Because of my poor gpa and results last quarter, I want to focus on the classes I need most which are my chem lab (first one in fact known to be tough too), chem 3, and writing 2. All total 10 units. And I work too. Also, on board for two clubs!!! I'm doing this because it is best for...

Hi! I'm a first year in college. So far I have completed 34 units (one course, a 2 unit, is only P/NP, so technically 32 units with grade letters). I passed them all, but the problem is I have subsided to a current 2.8 UC GPA :(:(:(:(. I took 16 units for 1st quarter and had a 3.5 GPA. Then...

Freshmen in college. So I got a C- in my chem class for 2nd quarter :( I passed....but should I retake it? I'm interested in both MD and DO schools. How would it look for them? It was a matter of being new to balancing work, school, and clubs:unsure:. But I'm gonna strive for better this...

Sorry, if this is in the wrong place, it's my first time posting. I'm in a state of panic right now. I've always wanted to be a doctor, for many reasons I won't go into otherwise this'll be too long, but at this point I think it's pointless. My gpa is at a 2.8 and the highest I can get it is...

I know there have been a lot of threads on SDN about Academic dishonesty, but I think that my case is a little different so i want some input. I was accused of cheating on exam. I fought hard to prove my innocence, and believe me I am innocent, but the honor council took the word of the...
