Hey guys! Recent science major graduate with a passion for the social sciences. I took an extensive amount of psych/soc courses while in undergrad for pure enjoyment. Now, I'm realizing I may just want to make it my career. I'll be the first to admit my lack of knowledge in this area and am...

I have courses that are in the psychology department, but are purely neuroscience in content so I am classifying as BIO. What happens in the event that AMCAS reclassifies? Will they return my application and require me to resubmit? Or will they change it themselves, thereby completing the...

So I'm just looking for some input from people who know more about this process than I do. I went into college originally thinking I wanted to major in math and then go into biostatistics, but I realized after a B- that math really isn't my thing and that I really like Biology and really enjoy...

Hi everyone! This thread might sound a bit redundant or even a bit mislead, but I am trying to work out my pre-reqs so I can officially declare myself pre-med, but my school is coming down hard on me to declare my major. So here's my situation. I love psychology. I'm fascinated by the way the...

Hey everyone, Longtime lurker here that made an account because I'm unsure of what to do. I'm really interested in the field of psychiatry and really want to volunteer for a crisis hotline during my undergraduate studies. I tried searching for any opportunities near my area (I go to UCSD) but I...

So, this is the first post I've ever made on SDN. I've come to the site multiple times to research pre-med questions and get answers about how to go to med school, the MCAT, ECs, etc. I'm not quite sure if I would be considered a non-traditional student, but here's why I think I might...
