sociology

Does anyone know specifically if Sociology is a REQUIRED--not just recommended--prereq right now for any med school? I've gone through these SDN forums about Sociology as a prereq spanning back a number of years. The general consensus is that Sociology is recommended as a prereq at "most" med...

Hello everyone! I have began serious MCAT prep and plan to take the exam as soon as I feel confident. I am having lots of trouble on the Psych/Sociology portion. I took these classes but although I found them easy, I never really retained the information Anyone know a good book for thorough...

I have room for one elective in my schedule. I'm debating between taking a sociology class to help with the MCAT or an anthropology class that counts towards my distribution requirements. Is anthropology close enough to sociology for the MCAT? Which would you recommend?

Hi all, I'm a rising junior this fall, and I'm on track to finish my Biology B.S. early, and as such, have time to pursue another major (or double minor). I know already that doing this will really give me minimal benefit in terms of being admitted to medical school. It's more just something I...

While I see that B could be wrong because physicians can be selective with their evidence and D wrong because confirmation bias happens for more emotionally charged issues, why is C wrong while A is correct?

I know everyone says to supplement with KA videos, but which book is better EK, NS, or PR? I've heard good things about NS and PR. Also is BR good for psychology? Thank you so much!

What's the difference between discrimination testing from threshold of conscious perception, and the difference threshold (jnd)?

Is sociology a good major for getting into a medical school in the US? I understand you can major in whatevery you want as long as you take the pre-reqs but statistically some majors have low chances of getting into medical school, such as health care studies, which has low acceptance rates and...

Hey guys, I just finished my sophomore year and am trying to figure out when to take the MCAT. My advisor told me that January 2019 would be the best time, and I will have taken all the pre-req courses by then, except for sociology. I know sociology isn't a huge part of the test, but I still...

this is definitely going to be the most GENERAL question ever, but what does PICU encompass? by that i mean as a first year college student, what is the pathway for getting into PICU? why are YOU interested in PICU? what are subspecialties and are they relevant to studying for PICU? (i.e. does...

My school does not require PSYC/SOCI classes for pre-med, but it does recommend that we take them, and I know many med schools also recommend this. I have no time to take any non-major classes anymore, so I cannot take either course at my US institution. However, I did take a health and...

Throughout my entire academic career, flashcards have NEVER worked for me. This is one of the reasons why I struggle in courses that require pure memorization. I get much better results when I read the book or create logical flow charts/diagrams. The reason I mention this is because everyone...

hi everyone, I am a senior w/ one semester left in college and I won't be able to fit Intro to Sociology in. I really want to apply to Univ of Michigan. Does anyone know whether it would be acceptable to take an Intro to Sociology course online during my gap year?

Hi Everyone, I developed a great relationship with my Intro to Sociology prof, and she enthusiastically agreed to writing me a LOR. Does sociology count as a non-science? I understand that it's a social science course. But we didn't do any actual typical "science" stuff in the class. It felt...

So I took AP Physics my sophomore year of High school and got both lab and class credit for Physics I and II. I got conflicting information from two different prehealth advisors about whether I should retake it or not. One advisor told me to retake it to study for the MCAT and ensure I can apply...

Should a premed student take Psychology or Sociology first? I enrolled in Psychology for this current semester but dropped it after 3 classes because the professor kept saying "as you all remember from your sociology class" so it made me confused. Now I'm not sure if I need to do Sociology first...

Going for the jan 28 mcat. So I spent 3 months going over the Kaplan/nextstep mcat content reviews and did a bunch of fl/qbanks. I scored well on the official aamc section banks in all section except psych/socio. There are all these terms and concepts that I've never seen, not on kaplan, not on...

Hey all, I'm planning on taking the MCAT at the end of this summer. The only pre-reqs I have left are Organic II (taking in the spring), Biochem I (taking in a summer intersession), and Sociology. I wanted to take Sociology online during the spring, but the class filled up before I could...

If any one has these books for sale, please let me know. I'm about to purchase them but will wait. Thanks, Laura (Also, this is most likely not the place to post this, but does anyone know the name of a good college text for sociology. And maybe one for pyschology. something older that I...

These are my worse subjects and was hoping for advice on how to raise my score. (Test day is January 28) Plans Chem/Phys: I've been reviewing my weaker subjects through content review, but I don't think this is effective and I'm running out of time. I'm planning on just doing the AAMC question...

Hi everyone, I am about to complete my PhD in sociology on a topic unrelated to health. The past four years have taught me a few things. First, I really like researching. I genuinely enjoy spending hours of the day scouring through articles, books, and reports and synthesizing them. I also like...

I am debating between these two degrees. I am also interested in Health Journalism which is a concentration within communications. Can anyone provide some explanations about the differences between these fields? If anyone works in either of those fields, can you explain in detail what your job...

As an undergrad, I am currently taking an intro Psychology course as well as a course in Sociology. Owing to the fact that the MCAT now contains sections on Psych. & Soc., I thought that it'd be a good idea to take up these classes. Will this material, only being at intro-level, be useful for...
