I am currently an undergrad bio major at Rutgers University and just calculated my science GPA and it is low as hell! My overall GPA is a 3.1 but my science GPA is a 2.3! I failed Orgo twice before finally passing with a C. I've basically gotten C's in nearly all of my science classes except...

About a year ago, I had no idea what I wanted to do with the Biology degree I would be obtaining after I graduate from my University. I was given the suggestion to look in to dentistry and turns out, I love it! I shadowed a few dentists and seriously see myself doing what they do for the rest of...

I am curious what student organizations are looking for in applications and interviews. I know that these are often run by other students so I thought it'd be wise to ask other pre-medical UGs who may be involved in these orgs. I didn't have much success my first time applying. In hindsight, I...

Hello everyone, I am a high school graduate from Turkey. This year, I will apply to one of the medicine courses in English in one of the Italian Universities. (I will take IMAT) Do you think those med-schools in Italy are considered to be good and have a good reputation in Europe? I am...

Okay so I had a few questions on what I should do. I'm 20 years old and am just now deciding to go back to school. I took a few years off to work and try to figure out what path I wanted to go in life. After being a landscaper, store manager, warehouse worker, tool and die maker, machinst and...

Hello everyone! I wish you luck with your applications this year! I have been in PT school for a year now and I wanted to share some advice that I wish someone would have shared with me beforehand. 1. Buy this textbook and read it: Physical Rehabilitation [6th edition] by O'Sullivan, Schmitz, &...

Hi friends! This is a rather frivolous post, but I'm totally missing the days in elementary when we used to send valentines to everyone in our class. So this year, I'm doing valentines for my class (it's pretty small), but I need some good medical valentines day puns. Please help a girl out...

Hi, I'm a medical student from one of the top 5 schools in Mexico, according to the 2016 ENARM report (mexican residency exam). I'm an american and I'm planning on doing my steps to later seek for a spot in the MATCH. I'd like to know someones thoughts on competing as an IMG (hopefully) VS AMG...

I'm a medical student. I recently had a medical problem and went to one of the cardiology attendings at my teaching hospital for a check up, because he's the best in the field where I live. I didn't have any medical insurance lol. He was really kind and didn't let me pay a penny. He even went as...

Besides the advantage of learning more about the school and finances, are there any other advantages to staying with a student host? Do AdComs talk to the hosts about your stay as a way to judge you further? Or is it completely neutral.

I messed up pretty badly my first attempt in undergrad as a bio/pre-med major. I had taken 12 credits (orginally 15 but I dropped a class). Out of high school I had a 1200/1600 SAT and 3.2 GPA (did not study very hard ever). My grades for that semester resulted in my GPA being at a measly 0.45...

Hey guys, I was hoping to get your opinion on my chances at being accepted into an MSTP program because I really want to be a physician scientist and spend my time mostly on research. I currently have all GPA of 3.7 with my science GPA being 3.6. I have spent roughly 2 years in research and am...

Hi everyone!! So I am shadowing a doctor for the first time in the emergency department. The doctor GAVE ME THE OPTION of scrubs or professional clothes (but nothing too fancy he said) he also said that a lab coat is optional. What should I go for? (Also I am a girl).

Hi! I am going to be shadowing an ER doctor soon and am not sure what to wear. I asked what the preference was and they told me that I can either wear scrubs or professional attire. Does anyone have any recommendations based on experience? Thank you.

I have text books and optometry equipment that I used only while a student so it's all in "like new" condition. It's all equipment that will be required as a student. I'd prefer not to have to package it and mail it piece by piece so would prefer it to go to someone in the Salt Lake City area...

Firstly, I want to thank @orgoman22 for the wonderful book we all hold dear to our souls. Nancy, thank you...

As I'm moving towards receiving my teaching certificate and becoming a future preceptor, I'm curious of what other people liked about their preceptors or disliked? I know that a lot of it depends on the student, but is wondering what your personal caveats were?

Hello, I am new to this forum but have been lurking for years as an undergrad. Thanks for taking a sec to read this. (This will likely be long, so see the TL,DR below if you desire.) I will be speaking somewhat personally here. All of my life since I was a small child, a career in...

Inspired by some recent reddit lurking to make an "AMA" style thread (no pun intended.... ). Just bored at the moment and feel like I might have some insight to offer on the disease itself & on being a med student with a mental illness. Ask away if you care to!

They told us to sign emails as John Doe M.D. Candidate School of Medicine Class 2020 Contact info For anything coming from our school accounts. Which makes sense, however someone from our class made his John Doe, M.D. (c), M.S. He does have his masters, so I don't have a problem with that...

I graduated from a 4 year university in NY with a very low gpa. 2.4 overall, and 2.11 bio. I am so mad at myself for what has happened over the past 4 years. Sex, drugs, partying, drinking = 2.4 and 2.11. I also got pregnant twice because of these habits which has affected my studying. I never...

So I just realized that I made an error in my work and activities section. For two of the contacts, I accidentally put my school email instead of theirs down. I have a phone number that is correct, but the email is so obviously mine- it has my last name and school. This is a huge mistake and was...
