success stories

Got waitlisted at 1 school the only interview I got this cycle and holding out onto a little bit of hope still. Does anyone have any positive stories they can share, please?

Anyone applying to this program? I am looking into Program B. Interested in success stories from Program A and B students.

Hi all. I really want to go to a good California pharmacy school like USC, UCSF, or UCSD. I am a well-rounded student but my GPA isn't super stellar. I have a 2.8 cumulative and 2.6 for math and science. In terms of my extracurriculars, I'm part of the Pre-pharm club at my school and served as...

Would anyone care to give me honest feedback about me as a late applicant? I've been kind of down lately because I know I'm late in the game. I'll be taking a late MCAT (Aug 17) and I'll be sending in my AMCAS app for verification at the end of July. This means I'll be complete (MCAT and AMCAS...

Starting it off a bit early, but I know some are starting to hear back so I hope this is okay. Congrats to those who have been accepted, waitlisted, and invited to interview! Please follow previous years formats: Successful Applicants Stats - Class of 2022

Hi all, I wanted to provide you with information regarding my application cycle for the entering class of 2016 (and subsequently 2018), which I thought may be helpful for fellow re-applicants out there. I want to give you hope and tell you that, if you really want something, try as hard as you...

I just finished my sophomore year and I am very unhappy with my performance this spring semester... so now my overall gpa is a 3.14. I don’t know what happened, it just got the best of me I guess. Anyway, I was wondering if there’s still a chance I can raise my gpa enough (keep in mind I haven’t...

I'm an incoming M1 MD this fall. I score well on exams, enjoy research but have this tendency to maneuver myself into unsavory positions. Example 1: applying late to medical school (I genuinely did not realize the competitive disadvantage) Example 2: not getting really important healthcare...

Hey ya'll: So long story short, I've been in college for several years and decided I wanted to do medicine 3.5 years ago. Since then, I have averaged a 3.7 GPA and have a sGPA of 3.65. I've done tremendously well and worked very hard. I plan on taking the MCAT this summer (Summer 18) and...

For the people who interviewed after the new year in the past cycles, where you offered acceptances or were the interviews mostly for waitlist positions? I know its different depending on the school and depending on the applicant, but I'd appreciate it if people can share their personal...

There seems to be similar threads of this nature in other disciplines so I figured I'd start one (unless one exists that I haven't found) for Public Health. Success stories: accepted into graduate school despite what seemed like insurmountable odds (i.e. getting into "higher" ranked- or any for...

In these videos I share how I was able to get my application reviewed even with a low GPA, get an interview and finally prepare for my first week of class. Besides going to PT school I spend my days helping prePT students, especially people with low GPA like I was. You have any questions, shoot...

Hey everyone. I am new on here and I am currently struggling in my school and in the process of transferring to a new one. I graduated from high school in 2014 and attended a private university as a freshman. I ended up becoming severily depressed and took a medical withdrawal. I returned in...

Hey everyone! I've done a post like this before but not with much response. I need some success stories to see where I stand and what I need to do to improve my application. I know adcoms look at the whole package but need an idea. If you can answer the following questions that would be...

Hey guys, I'm looking for some advice. I knew I wanted to be a physician for a while, and I go to the 4th best community college in the country and they still have terrible health advisors that never told me how important A's and GPA were to getting into med school. Ive done some research and...

Stressing out right now. Don't want to take a gap year. Have a low gpa. Do anyone have any success stories of getting into D.O school with low gpa? Just want to know if anyone else struggled as badly as i did and was able to improve and get into D.O school. sGPA 3.1 cGPA 3.0 300+ hours of...
