Hello! I am new to this site and thought it would be a good place to get advice from other Pre-PT/PT students. I am a freshman bio major about to complete my first semester with a 3.6 gpa (it would have been higher if I hadn't gotten two B's, both of them B+'s though) and have been working as a...

Hey everyone! I am a sophomore undergrad, and we start finals next week. After my freshman year, I ended with a 3.96 GPA and currently I have all As in my classes and have set myself up for a 4.0 if I do well on my exams. But the problem is, I am extremely worried about these exams (I haven't...

Hi Guys! So right now i am a pre-med student in a post bacc. I have the opportunity to assist in research in either a biology lab or a psychology lab. I would like to use this research opportunity to bolster my medical school application. Would it be viewed unfavorably by medical schools if i...

Hey there SDN, Due to its rigor and the "GPA killer factor", is it a bad idea to major in Chemistry for pre-med? I am 100% set on my goal of going to Med School and I want nothing else than to be a Doc. I was just accepted to the University of Texas at Ausin to study Psychology and pre-med (I...

These are my worse subjects and was hoping for advice on how to raise my score. (Test day is January 28) Plans Chem/Phys: I've been reviewing my weaker subjects through content review, but I don't think this is effective and I'm running out of time. I'm planning on just doing the AAMC question...

Hi! Right, so I have what is probably a really stupid question with a really obvious answer to it, but I am eye-ball deep in the midst of all the data and can't see the wood for the trees anymore. Okay, the overall question of interest in my latest study was if rape survivors were seen as a...

Hello all! So this is a very intimidating time in my life. I graduate from Undergrad in December and right now I have a 3.38, so I expect that by the time I graduate I will have somewhere along the mid 3.4's. My Psych GPA is ~3.6, and my minor (Business) is ~3.5. Freshman year I started off...

Hey, guys. I'm currently trying to figure out which classes to take before I take the MCAT without stressing myself out too much. This is my current "situation": Next semester, I'll be a junior, and I've been advised that because of this, I should take the MCAT sometime in the winter of...

I've been looking into Master's degrees in Counseling and have been struggling to find ones that are affordable. However, I've found one university that has a CACREP accredited online master's degree in counseling. The university is nationally ranked. It's cheaper than most universities in my...

I'm thinking about majoring in Psychology so I am curious if you can take all of the med school prereqs as electives for the degree? The curriculum for Psychology doesn't include any of the med school prereqs so I would not wish to take extra courses. Basically I'd like to not have to take over...

Hello SDN, I am a hopeful Pre-Med student and I am currently in the process of selecting an undergrad major. I have had a very hard time deciding, because I feel there are so many things I need to consider when selecting my major. I am focusing on these things: if med school doesn't work out...

Hi there. I'm currently enrolled in Master's program in Forensic psychology. The field is fascinating, and the topics discussed resonate with me quite a bit. My question is: what's next? Did anyone here finish PhD in Forensic Psychology (like the one offered at UOIT, for example) or at least...

Hi SDN, I am currently beginning college and would like to know how to choose or what major to choose based on the following information. After attending medical school I want to be a psychiatrist. Although I am interested in biology I do not want to be a biology major. I am very intrigued by...

I know this topic has been posted ad infinitum in these forums, and so much advice has been given. I've used the search function but something is still eating at me to the point where I'm now posting instead of lurking. I love psychology. Ever since I took AP psych in high school i've fell in...

Hi all!I'm interested in knowing who gets accepted into counseling psych PHd programs. I graduated college last year with a degree in neuroscience with a goal of becoming a psychiatrist. For a number of reasons I have decided that med school is not right for me and over the past few months have...

I am currently applying to masters programs in counseling psychology and if I attend will obtain rather significant debt. My ultimate goal is to get my PHd in counseling psych but I am worried I won't be able to afford it after a masters program. I am getting married next year and eventually...

I am currently a Pre-Med student, while I have many interests in the medical field I am mostly considered Psychiatry (and Pathology, Pediatrics, Obstetrics, etc.). I am leaning most towards Psychiatry and have been interested in going into this field ever since Middle School. Merely from my...

I'm a Psychology major, but I really want to pursue Global Health and Epidemiology w/ a strong quantitative bend in grad school, possibly even go into Infectious Diseases. I have zero interest in concentrating in Social and Behavioral Sciences for my MPH (not that I don't find it interesting...

Hi Everyone! So I have been reading forums nonstop since this happened, and was looking for any insight from anyone who has previously taken the psych GRE ? I missed the registration deadline for the September exam by a day, and I have read other posts about standby testing , so that is...

Is it possible to take postgraduate in psychology , after we've done studying as bachelor of dentist?

How come these two psychology are considered biology, especially the later. On the AADSAS course list I was allowed to put them down as biology courses. It worked out awesome for me, as my GPA only benefits from this in the BCP and science grades. However, when i took cognitive psychology, there...

Has anyone taken the MA Psychology Jurisprudence exam? I have the booklet that give you, but there are no practice test, so I have no idea how to begin studying for it. I get it that I have to memorize the laws, but is there an emphasis on certain chapters, do I need to know the title and...

I'm going to try to keep this as concise as possible despite having, what I feel, is a unique non-trad background (I'm sure everyone does ;)). Every year or so, I get stuck on the idea of going to med school. Near the end of HS, I dismissed the entire idea because I so strongly believed I was...

Hi everyone! I am from Brazil. I've been having a hard time to decide whether I should become a psychologist or a psychiatrist. I know that in order to practice medicine in the USA and other places abroad one has to pass through a different process, when compared to the one here in Brazil...

Hi everyone, I'm currently a freshman psych BA major (probably going to change to BS), and I changed to psych from bio because I actually have a great interest in the field. The psych classes I've taken have been the only ones that genuinely excited me and made me want to learn more. My goal...
