summer

I need to take anatomy as a prerequisite and am considering taking it as a summer school at KGI. The class is half online and half on campus (requiring you to come to lab on Saturdays). Does anyone know how difficult or hard this class is at this school? Am I better off trying to take it at a...

Hey ya'll. Looks like I have to remediate anatomy at UNMC this summer. Does anyone have any experience with this class or the UNMC anatomy program in general? Not finding any info on SDN.....Thanks! Coming from the east coast....are the summers brutal in Nebraska?

I have an offer from a major financial institution to do healthcare finance but I also have a research opportunity offer from a pretty prestigious program/university. On one hand, I think I will learn a lot in the healthcare finance internship, but I'm also afraid of appearing "unfocused" or...

Hey guys. I'm a M1 and the year is just about wrapping up in a couple of months. I really can't believe I'm ALMOST through. So, I had a lot of trouble throughout the year. I consistently scored a standard deviation below the class average on every single exam, but...I still passed somehow...

Hello! I am a university student and will be in Manhattan this summer (early june - early aug) to intern at Mount Sinai. I'd like to share a room/house/apt with other students, but I'm willing to have my own place or share with non-students. My budget is about $4000 max for the whole time. I...

Hello everyone, I've been looking around SDN for posts about summer internship, and while there are a lot of them, I haven't seen one that quite answers my questions. So I'm asking for advices. So I was accepted at Creighton, NE (campus pathway) and plan to go there. I'm starting P1 in this...

So I have been scrolling through SDN for awhile now and I have seen a lot of breakdowns but I wanna personally ask a few questions? 1.) for someone who has never done ANY PAT questions where should one begin? How should they begin? and is their any guides you thought were most helpful for...

Hello Everyone, I have finally pulled the trigger and decided to go for medical school. I am a mechanical engineering student in my junior year. The next step for me right now is figuring out how to spend this upcoming summer. I am definitely going to try and start volunteering at a hospital...

Does anyone know if the JHSIP notifies applicants on a case-by-case basis or if they alert everyone March 1st? Has anyone else applied or attended? I applied to BSI Microbiology, Pulm and Crit Care, and the stem cell research.

Hey! Is anyone applying to this / has applied to this? What are your stats? Past attendees and applicants, tips?

(UVA = University of Virginia, Probably regarded as the best public state school in VA) UVA allows visiting students in the summer sessions only. Obviously I did not have the High School grades to get into UVA as a 1st year (freshman.) *BIO I/II in the summer is already a done deal. Would it...

1.) Are organized summer opportunities ( https://med.virginia.edu/diversity/programs/srip/ ) more or less valuable than research throughout the school year with a professor? ( http://uvaurn.org/register-with-urn/ ) I feel the latter would be a better opportunity to have long-term involvement...

What do you do during your summers? I'm especially looking for perspectives from humanities majors :-)

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice on what I should do this summer. My dream school is UCSD, and I know I need to strengthen my ECs to make that happen. Note: because I will be in a different state than my university this summer, my options are limited. Year in school: Junior Country/state of...

Hey all, I'm kind of in a dilemma right now and I would appreciate some general advice going forward. I am currently a sophomore majoring in CS who just recently decided to start the pre-dental route after shadowing my dentist over winter break. Obviously my goal for the summer before that...

Hello everyone! I have a question. So due to family and life, I really want to do research in the same city that I went to undergrad. I do have the opportunity to continue the research project I did as an undergraduate, but I will have more responsibilities and will be able to do a few more...

I've always been really skeptical of programs by my schools (not this school in particular, just any school I am in, I distrust the programs irrationally) as a result, I've looked at this thing called the Pitt Summer Edge program and it seems like something that would really aid me in trying to...

I'm a current junior and applying to med school this cycle. I've spent almost every summer doing research/other pre-med related internships. My major is not a typical "premed" major (it's math). I am considering applying to an applied math internship this coming summer (along with research...

Undergrad premed students, please consider this great opportunity to do clinical research: Minneapolis Heart Institute Foundation will hire 12 interns for paid, 12-week internships this summer. The application DEADLINE is JANUARY 31! Interns work 1:1 with a cardiologist mentor, and participate...

Hi! I just wanted other opinions on this matter:) I don't know if I should spend the summer taking organic chemistry (which would allow me to graduate a year earlier if I wanted) or physics - OR spend my summer continuing to do research, volunteer in some different things, tutor, and hopefully...

I am a sophomore undergrad planning on taking a gap year and ideally enteringn medical school in the fall of 2020. I know I still have plenty of time, but I'm concerned about making sure I have enough research and clinical experience by the time of my application. Right now, my options for...

I'm an MS1 looking for something to do with my summer. I do not want to do research, but would rather do a clinical program (something that involves shadowing or working hands on with patients). I've seen a few programs, but was wondering if anyone knows of any good ones (specifically ones...

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone is aware of any summer research opportunities (like REU's, SURP's etc.) that are available for senior undergraduates who are graduating before the internship. Many of the internships that I had applied to last year only took students who still have at least a...

Hi everyone! I'm really interested in spending my summer abroad doing an internship in any field that would be of value to someone wanting to go into the medical field. The problem is most of the programs I'm finding are not paid AND you have to pay a very large fee to even participate...

I wanted to ask around and find out what people generally do during their summers while in dental school. For my school I know our summer breaks are broken up like so: After D1: 2 months After D2: 1 month (which is entirely free since we take our boards in Winter of D2) After D3: 3 weeks So...

(This is my first post so forgive me for any mistakes.) I've read through quite a few posts, but couldn't find exactly what I'm looking for. I was wondering if it would be possible to easily submit my AMCAS app and all that good stuff while abroad in Ireland (from the end of May to the end of...

I was planning on submitting my application earlier, but I felt like I wasn't ready and was gone for a month in a study abroad program. I sent my transcript out beforehand, and it was received on June 29th. Should I update my grades for the summer classes/study abroad before I submit my...

Hello SDN users! I'm attempting to learn MCAT Physics on my own with a year of high school physics under my belt (eh, not much---I know). I purchased TBR and TPR, but I have yet to crack open TPR because I'm so OVERWHELMED by all the formulas in the TBR chapters. The book is literally like...

Hello to the wonderful sdn community, A quick summary of my summer: -9 to 5 summer research internship with stipend -hospital volunteering once/twice in mornings before work -MCAT studying to take the exam in September I've spoken with my prehealth advisor, who said that for me, this summer is...

Hello friends! It is the summer before my senior year of undergrad, and I just wanted to make sure I'm doing everything I can so as to stay on the path to getting into DO school (it's so easy to forget big things when you don't ask for second opinions :cat:) My background/future game plan: -I...

Hi! I thought I might post this here in case students are interested in joining our student org/med ed program. The program runs online over the summer and covers some of the science-part of medicine along with the "holistic" part. We have run two pilot course as a medical school and want to...

So I've been accepted for matriculation at an osteopathic school for the 2016 entering class woot! How helpful and beneficial down the line for residencies is shadowing the summer before medical school? I've only shadowed three doctors during undergrad (General Peds, Gastroenterology, OMM) I'm...

Hello, I know that there is a thread for this, but I can't find it. I am accepted for an OT school that begins Fall 2016. I have plenty of time this summer to do...stuffs. So far, I have a vacation for few weeks. After that, my only plan is to learn a foreign language (Planning to treat...

Hey guys, I just took my DAT today and scored a TS 18 AA 19. I bombed the PAT/QR (13 and 14) and got scored Bio 18 GC 17 OC 21 RC 26 I'm leaning towards taking the DAT again to score way higher on PAT/QR which I admittedly did bad on because I barely looked at it and obviously need to bump...

It's kind of a daunting task trying to find internships and volunteering in NYC over the summer because I have absolutely no idea where to start. Is there any way I can see some sort of list of opportunities for things I may be interested in doing over the summer? I'm looking mainly for things...
