It's pretty darn late in the game for college decisions. But here I am still wondering where I'm going to go. So in your opinion, with your experience, is it better to accept the 7 year BS/DMD offer at a small school that's relatively unexciting but guarantees me a spot at Dental College of...

Hi yall I'm on the fence kind of for both schools, VCU and UIC. I was accepted at VCU on Dec 1 but am waitlisted at UIC. I am OOS for both schools so the cost of attendance will be high regardless. I don't know much about Richmond area or either schools to be honest. I am trying to get off the...

Hey everyone, I would like to know your opinion of whether the schools I've chosen are good enough (or are there too many reaches/gambles and not enough backups), and where I stand the best chance for an interview spot? My ego kicked up a notch after getting my DAT scores, but by no means am I...

Hey guys (and gals!), So I've submitted my application to 2 schools (UF and NOVA since I'm a florida resident) and I'm about to submit to University of Pacific. Besides these three schools I'm really undecided as I would LOVE to be in an actual city (San Francisco *sigghhh), but money is also a...

Hi! I'm looking to add more about 6-7 more schools to the list, I already submitted to AMCAS and AACOMAS, but I feel like my MD school choices aren't broad enough given my stats (3.42 cGPA, 3.29-3.3 sGPA, 510 MCAT, ORM, CA resident). I'm also applying to DO schools, and my list for that is...

Just wondering when secondaries normally go out for osteopathic schools? I understand the cycle opened in May, and I've already submitted primaries. I haven't received any secondaries yet.

Hey guys, I want to choose between these schools and what are you top 2 preference from this list. Location and program wise. I also like to have diversity in my class Lecom, case western, Creighton, tufts or tuoro (in ny) Thanks

Hey guys, so I've run into a bit of a roadblock. I've got 25 schools here that I narrowed my list to but I feel like applying to this many schools will just reflect poorly on my application. Anyone willing to help narrow it down? I am a Michigan resident, btw. And here are my stats, in brief...

Just wanted some advice for a list of schools that I should be thinking about (both MD and DO) that would bode well for my stats. I'm looking more for schools I should also not bother applying to because I want to be effective with my applications. I will provide my score break downs with some...

Hey! Previously posted this in the wrong category. My apologies. Just wanted some advice for a list of schools that I should be thinking about (both MD and DO). I will provide my score break downs with some supporting info: sGPA: 3.55 overall GPA: 3.64 MCAT: 502 Shadowing hours total about...

So basically, I have offers from the university of Nottingham and Birmingham for medicine. Not really sure which to choose. Yes I know, there are no 'bad' med schools, its down to personal choice etcetc.. I'd just really appreciate advice from anyone who knows the pros the pros/cons of either...

Happy to get back my April MCAT score today: 520. cGPA=3.85. I was thinking targets might be Emory, Georgetown, Miami, USC, Tufts etc. but I am not sure because I realize that my science GPA is a bit lower than their medians according to the MSAR. Will this be an issue? Or will my MCAT score...

I've narrowed my schools down to CSPM, NYCPM, Scholl, Kent and Barry I specifically would like to know how Kent and Barry would compare to each other since they are not in big cities like SF, Chicago, or NYC. I know clinicals are relatively the same for both with 7 or 8 month externships but...

Hey everyone! Just wanted to get some advice on what I should do for applying. I have already applied this year to MD only, but I haven't gotten much luck yet. Here's the breakdown on stats: Degree: Bachelor in neuroscience (honors program) GPA: 3.69 cGPA, 3.59 sGPA MCAT: 497 Research: 3 years...

I'm having trouble finding people who have gone to Barry for Occupational Therapy. If you have, please let us know if you were OTD or MSOT, what year, and if you enjoyed the program or not/pros and cons, and anything else you want to share. Also, were the loans worth it? I know tuition is steep.

So I'm noticing a lot of discrepancies between data in the MSAR and data provided on medical schools' websites. For example, MSAR says Temple accepted 32% OOS last cycle, where as the Temple website says it accepted 53% OOS. This is a huge difference. Which is more reliable in general?

I currently have about... 400 hours volunteering at a camp (but this was a couple summers ago) 70 hours tutoring inner city kids Will hopefully have at least 40 hours volunteering at a hospital by May I'm really worried I don't have enough. What is considered average for volunteer hours? If...

Hi, I'm a junior applying to med schools this coming cycle. I desperately need suggestions for schools that might be targets for me. I do have the MSAR but there is just so much data, it can be hard to make sense of. cGPA=3.7. Should be around 3.72 by May! sGPA=3.6. Should be higher in May...

Edit: TL;DR, everything worked out fine, everyone needs to chill. See recent post. (New to SDN, this might not be the right place to post this, if so lemme know) So, I graduated this past May, and did not apply until much later than I had hope (secondaries were completed yesterday). Because of...

Dear Studentdoctor peers, I am a longtime lurker, but an inactive participant. I have searched other threads, but wasn't able to find an answer specific to my interests. Here are my stats MCAT retake: 504 GPA: 3.7 NY resident A lot of awesom ECs and one publication. I can list a few if it's...
