I've applied to dental schools for the 2019 cycle with a 3.4 GPA, sGPA 3.1, 15 AA, 15 TS. My DAT scores made me very discouraged about dental school. But I retook the DAT a couple of days ago and still didn't do so great. I've scored 17 PAT, 16 QR, 16 RC, 17 GC, 17 BIO, 19 OC, 18 TS, 17 AA. My...

Was wondering when might be a good time to ask for feedback for prepare for a new cycle, while being on the waitlist. It seems like asking for it while on the waitlist might give off the impression that I'm "giving up" on the current cycle. Is there any time at which it is fair to ask for...

I applied last cycle to no avail which I kind of expected because I only had hospital volunteer experience and worked part time as a physical therapy aide. This past year I have been working as a medical assistant at a clinic with NPs and PAs and will have about 1500 hours by the time I apply...

Hi all, I am a second time applicant, and with this cycle essentially at a close, I am working on what my next steps should be. Here is a quick background on me: Being undecided for the first two years of college led me to take a variety of courses in different fields, some which I had no...

Hi everyone! So I applied to MD PhD programs last cycle. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get into any, and now I have chosen to re-apply for MD-only programs and pursue research on my own accord (without a PhD). My dream school last cycle did in fact interview me for their MSTP, but I was not...

Being rejected is painful. Especially when you’ve put so much money, time, and effort into compiling your application. But if you weren’t accepted, the simple fact is that something was off with your application. Rather than shooting blindly and guessing at what might have made the adcom pass...

Hi! I got rejected this application cycle, and it was my first time applying to PT school. I am hoping some of you could help me with a few questions. 1. In November, I got rejected from a school, both early and regular decision. Is it too late now to reach out to the school and ask why they...

Medical school admissions are notoriously competitive. If you’ve been rejected, it’s natural to feel disappointed. But if you’ve got your heart set on a career in medicine, there’s no time for moping. If you want to unlock success in the next application cycle, you need to understand what went...
