Hello Everyone, I experienced a problem that I definitely didn't expect I would-especially because the pre-health committee at my school told me that I wouldn't be able to get in to dental school. I was fortunate enough to receive acceptances from multiple dental schools, and I would really...

Hi! I am currently in my 4th year of undergrad in Bio Sciences, attending a university in Alberta. As I'm reaching the end of my undergrad studies, I am trying to weigh my options of what I should do. My GPA is in an upward trend from my first year which was quite poor: Year 1: 3.0 Year 2: 3.77...

Hi everyone, I am a second year student so I will be applying to med school next year. Is it too early now to start asking for letters of recommendation? There is one professor that I feel comfortable asking now and dont want to lose touch with .

Good morning everyone! I've been an active reader on SDN forums for a very long time. My searches consist of "what are my chances, low gpa pharmacy schools, etc." But I thought I would create my own and see what you guys' opinions are. I graduated from UT with a degree in Economics and minored...

Hi, all! I'm 40 and never graduated college. When I was 17-20 I dabbled and half arsed some community college. Didn't get many credits and had a terrible gpa. I'm without skills, without a degree and just now coming to the realization that I'm not a kid and don't "have plenty of time" to...

I currently I am in a place where I just need better connections and better information in order to make the best possible decision on pursuing a Medical Degree. Recently I had the opportunity to spend some time in Australia, and I absolutely fell in love with the land down under. I really want...

I was motivated, extremely passionate, on a "this is my dream and it's the only thing I truly want" level. I obsessed over it. But when college came, depression hit in a sneaky way, and I messed up my first two semesters. Spring semester all C's, and one D (was supposed to be a B but the online...
