Hiya! I'm deciding between two options for what to do between January 2022 and when I start medical school in July 2022. I'm hoping for opinions from MD students, so I posted here instead of the premed side. I recently got into one of my dream medical schools, and while I might still get...

Hi all. So somewhere down the line if I maintain a high GPA, I would like to apply to top 20/ top 15 medical schools. Anyway, I've been told by my school that course rigor is a factor in med school admissions, and that my lack thereof would serve as hindrance to getting accepted at top schools...

If I am fortunate enough to be accepted into a dental school, is it possible to take undergraduate courses at that university as well (assuming this school is part of an undergraduate university)? What I'm thinking is that I'm a Spanish major who would like to continue to take classes in the...

Hi all. Current MS4 here, plan on applying to general surgery. Currently working on my list of programs to apply to. I go to a school in the south where one of our main hospitals has a patient population where ~85% of the patients speak Spanish (not even an exaggeration). Being that I am not a...

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place here. My pre-med reqs and my core requirements for the school I'm attending are immense and ridiculous. however, I know medical schools glance upon those who have some sort of Spanish major/minor favorably. My question is, would it be more beneficial for...

Sorry if this question has already been asked elsewhere ( I didn't find anything when I did a search), but does having a Spanish minor have any positive effect on your application? I enjoy studying Spanish, but unless I take 2 summer classes I will not be able to formally get the minor. I don't...

I'd assume if you major in Spanish, that medical schools would view you as more useful because you'd be bilingual, wouldn't they? I'm a senior in High School currently. I know the major you choose doesn't matter all too much in terms of getting accepted. I just have been researching the wide...

I'm fluent in English and Spanish because of my Latino roots. I want to know which schools somewhat favor this besides Puertorican med schools.

I heard that if you write on AMCAS that you speak a foreign language, that schools might interview you in that language. Can anyone comment on: 1) How frequently schools do this 2) Which schools exactly might do this 3) What languages schools tend to do this with
