premedical student

Hi All! I didn't see a thread for this year so I figured I'd make one! Any other applicants for Fall matriculation? And any former students who care to share their experience?

I have been to multiple colleges throughout my life. I am a nontraditional student (almost 30 years old) and am married, and have a little boy. My husband is very encouraging and supportive. I’m just not sure that I will ever be accepted into medical school. This past January I decided to take a...

I've been a pharmacy tech at Walmart for nearly a year. I thought it would be a good experience because I'd be able to see medicine from a very different, yet still important, perspective and because I'd greatly improve my communication skills with patients, nurses, doctors, etc. I've found this...

Hello!:) I have been reviewing different SMP programs in various threads for a few months now but I am still finding it difficult to make a decision on which school to attend with the best chances. I have been accepted to Rosalind Franklin University in Biomedical Sciences Program, Case Western...

I have been trying to find shadowing opportunities lately. I've been calling hospitals and clinic and get the same answer: we don't allow undergraduates to shadow or you must be at least a senior.

I know there are other ways to make it competitive like a phlebotomy degree etc. But I'm asking about Medical Transcription. Is it a plus to...

Hello! I was accepted into Gannon University and PCOM's (3+4) year medical program. I was just wondering if there was anyone who went through the program and had any insight on what the program is like and whether or not it is worth it. Thanks, all comments are greatly appreciated!

So here is the dilemma, I took biology but I withdrew out of it. So I took it again last semester but I took it online and I realized that all the medical schools that I am interested in getting accepted to do not accept online prerequisites. I did not check the requirements before taking the...

Where will you be spending your premed summers? Often top medical schools in the U.S. offer premed summer undergraduate research programs. The purpose of these programs is to expose ambitious, talented college students to graduate-level medical research, usually over the course of 6-12 weeks...

Hi guys! I am trying to decide whether I should do a post-bacc, masters or just retake the MCAT. Small state school - bachelors of science in biology, (went to a community college afterwards and took nearly 5 courses.....medical terminology, calculus 1 to name a few - all sciences were taken...

So I was recently hired for a scribe company and finished signing the paperwork (non-compete clause and all) for an outpatient medical center. I had interviewed with a different scribe company months before for an ED position at a major hospital but was told that I would be on the waitlist for...
