Hi All, I am currently (about) to start applying to dental schools. I am just wondering if someone whose been threw the process or knows about how much I am going to be spending? I plan on applying to about 8 schools. Does the AADSAS server cost money? Costs to send application to each...

I am having a bit of a dilemma right now and any feedback would be appreciated. I've already looked at the threads for both Iowa and Illinois vet schools and am still indecisive. Anyway, I was accepted to Illinois and was planning on going there, but Iowa recently contacted me to let me know...

Hey all, Im asking just based on pure curiosity. My decision to attend a school would never come down to a probably-biased ranking but i am just interested in knowing. Both Downstate and Penn state are unranked, meaning they did not give their info to be ranked. I was just wondering if anyone...

Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have been on SDN a lot but haven`t seen a post that specifically addresses my application. I was hoping I could get some brief advice on my school list based on my scores + ECs. From what I see, my biggest weaknesses are the 9 in Verbal and mediocre ECs. Trying to make up for...

Hello SDN Nation, I'm currently a 4th year at USUHS and this month was recently declared military medicine month. If the exclamation point didn't give it away, I'm pretty pumped about medicine AND being in the military. I've read a lot of the horror stories, and though I'm not discounting their...

My first semester of Uni I got a 3.8 GPA, then my second semester I got a 3.8 (rounded up from a high 3.7) GPA. Then I got 3 jobs, but one of them I only worked during the summer and stopped going once school started (so 2 jobs during school). I killed my GPA first semester of my second year...

I know this is a very "Type A" question, but I am a Type A kind of gal ;). I have searched the forum and am still wondering how I should organize my binders for DPT school (I start classes on May 5). For my undergrad, I did not have lockers, and I rarely brought my laptop (but I did bring my...

Hey everyone! I am considering different branches of the military for my medical education, and I want to make a full career out of it. I do have a genuine passion for serving the country, so I am not doing it just to have medical school paid for (although that is a plus). For those who have...

I am equally as passionate about both and so I am planning on applying to both this summer. Is there any way for schools to know that I have applied to both?

My dad is 49 years old. He wants to continue his career he had in medicine before we came to the US, but no one will accept him because the time he has been out of practice is too long, and the years since medical school is also too long. Maybe he should go back to school? I know he would have...

Hey guys, I have the option of volunteering at a vet's office doing basically the same thing that I would be doing as a kennel assistant but I am also shadowing the veterinarian (which I already started doing) or should I work as a part-time kennel assistant at a location that is 1.5 hours away...

I am attending OT school next year. Could anyone give me (and other prospective OT students) insights on how school life is like, compared to undergraduate? -Amount of free time? -Social life? -Education more rigorous? -Friendships? -Opportunity to work with OT professionals? Etc. Any advice...

I have a few questions about Keck that I want to ask before going to the school. I would really appreciate the help! :) What exactly is PPM and ICM? I see that on all the schedules. The website also talks about CTR and EBM. What are those also? How is the curriculum? How many hours a week do...

I just got off the phone with my mom and she said she knows a lot of people who have kids who just aren't getting into grad school despite their good grades. I have a 3.75 GPA, with a 3.56 pre-req GPA (got a B in chemistry both semesters, hope that won't affect me too much). I am only a...

So.. quick question. I am a Junior in college currently going abroad Fall 2016-Spring 2017 (a whole academic year). Being abroad it will be simply hard to apply to dental school that June 2017. Therefore, I plan on applying June 2018 (Once I graduate college). My questions is.. Since, I am...

Hello! I'm very lucky to have been accepted at these three great schools and I can't seem to make up my mind. Any advice would be much appreciated! I'm currently a senior at BU, grew up in NYC (originally from Brooklyn!), and have a number of scattered interests including biomedical research...

Hi everyone, I need your guys' opinions on something. I am premed with a 3.94 cumulative GPA, but I am getting a "C" in one of my classes. I spoke to the professor and she basically said that there was no way I could raise the grade. Should I drop the class and receive a "W" on my transcript...

Hello, I want to become a veterinary medicine professor and am looking to pursue a DVM. However, I was looking through the faculty of some schools and it seems that they all have PhDs. Is it necessary or at least heavily recommended to get a PhD if you want to teach? Can you teach with just a DVM?

This topic might exist, but I have problems finding it. Anyway, I have been denied from Boston University dental school, even though I went for an interview there in November. I asked why, and the reason for them not accepting you was apparently because I didn't have research experience...

Hello, I have been hearing for students of the podiatry program that the president of this school is making it the "Harvard" of podiatry and that it is miserable. The school is so competitive that they don't feel like they are learning anything because it is such a hostile learning environment...

Several people keep asking if you can file a lawsuit against a Caribbean medical school. The answer is yes. For example, if you are suing Ross, you would file your lawsuit in New Jersey, that's where their offices are, the owners are American, and most of their business is conducted from...

The title says it all. Im considering NYU and I want to know what influenced your guy's desission to attend there!

Hey all, I'm having trouble deciding between these three schools and I was hoping for some objective input from SDN. A little background on myself: I'm a former CA resident that currently lives in NYC with my SO. My SO will remain in NYC--she has a great job and can't afford to leave. I'm...

Hello, I have recently been admitted to two amazing Pharmacy programs at Colorado and Michigan and I preferably want to make a decision before I put in the deposits. I was hoping to get some input from current students/graduates attending either of these two schools before I make my final...

Hi! I was just wondering if anyone had any insight. Is it possible to transfer from a Caribbean medical school to a DO medical school in the states? I currently attend a Caribbean school (not in the top 5). I won't lie its not the a great school. I've been emailing Nova Southeastern's school to...

I'm sure this question has been asked in some variation, although I'm looking for specifics. I'm for all intents and purposes a junior and came to my college specifically to do a biomedical science program as all of the classes are pretty literally the list of pre-reqs for med school, which I...

Hello, I'm new here. Before I start, I would like to apologize for my grammar. Okay I'll get straight to the point. I'm currently a senior in college, I'm about to get my bachelors in finance (I know its way off) I will graduate next May. I have always been interested in medicine, the only...

Hello, I am a 24 yo female, new to SDN, and have now decided to apply to dental school. I have been working for the past 2 years as a medical assistant, since graduating. I recently quit my job to study for the DAT and prepare/strengthen my applications. My questions: 1. Is it possible to get...

Hi, I'm Brazilian and I'll enter medical school, here in Brazil, in one year. My plan is to finish the 6 years of medical school here and then apply to 2-year residency in Sweden. I'd do my best to impress the people working with me so they encourage me to stay in Sweden, because I want to be...

Hi Guys and Gals, I recently got accepted to both University of New England College of Pharmacy and Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine- Georgia Pharmacy Campus. I wanted to know if you guys know anything about these two schools as I have researched but I am still consulting numerous...

Hi everyone, I am currently in the middle of my 3rd year in a 5-year BS/MS physician assistant program at a small liberal arts school in Pennsylvania. However, I have decided to take the leap and pursue medical school rather than continue my path in the PA program. To do this, I will switch to...

Hi everyone, I would seriously like some advice. I have a relatively good GPA, science GPA included. It by no way will hinder my chances in getting into medical school. My extracurriculars are great. What is hindering me is my MCAT score. I took it three times. I go a 24 on the old test and a...

Is it feasible to become an ER Tech and work as one while I continue to take a regular class schedule? What kind of free time and scheduling am I looking at? I plan on applying to Medical School in about 3 years and know I won't have time to work much then. So I figured working as an ER Tech in...

What data is most important in considering whether to apply to a school as an OOS applicant? Percentage out of state? What is a reasonable OOS percentage to make it worth applying to a particular school? Thanks :)

When looking at a school's GPA and MCAT stats, what is a target vs reach?

Hello, I'm currently a freshman at Sacramento State University and would like to pursue the career as a PA. I was wondering if undergrad school you attend determines if you actually can get into PA school such as how Med Schools prefer more prestigious schools like a UC. Or is it doesn't matter...

I realize this is probably a long shot since this is an English forum and most people on here are American, but is anyone else applying to the veterinary program at University of Montreal?

I have been shadowing dentists whenever I get free time for the past 6 months so I'm usually only with each dentist for about 1-2 days so I have several shadowing experiences to list (7 currently) is there a max number on the application you can list? Also is there a max number of volunteer...
