summer

Hi, I'm looking to sublet a room near OHSU in an all female apartment/unit/house from June until the end of July. Please message me if you have an available room!

I am really excited to have several volunteer opportunities this summer. I am applying to volunteer at the Dallas Zoo, at Equest therapeutic riding, and at Rogers Wildlife Center, which specializes in bird rehabilitation. What has been your favorite volunteer experience? Have you ever had a...

Hello, I am planning to take physics over the summer at Harvard. Although I would like to take it at cheaper public schools, I live in NYC and CUNYs don't offer physics I and II together. I am also considering taking it at NYU as well. I saw that Harvard only has a single 7 week session so I...

hey people, I just took physics this semester and I did not do well to say the least. I think I will finish the semester with a C- if I'm lucky so needless to say I am taking the course over again. I really want to take it in the summer but the school I was planning on taking it is only offering...

I am applying this summer, but do i need to study sychology and sosiology for the new mcat? My gpa is 3.8 so i think that i am good with that.

Hey everyone, non-traditional post-bac here. I'm wondering at this point if I'm too late in applying for summer programs to either volunteer at a hospital or find a research opportunity, because all seem to have had their application deadlines set. What are some opportunities that I can find to...

Hello SDN! I'm trying to decide what will be the best use of my summer. I am a rising college senior and planning on taking one gap year before entering medical school. Because my gpa is not where I would like it to be, I'm really concerned about becoming the most competitive applicant I...

Is anyone planning to apply end of Junior summer? (so you can attend dental school as soon as you get out of undergrad). I am currently finishing my sophomore year with 3.6 at top undergrad; however, i have not taken DAT, I am not ready to ask LOR. I see merit applying junior summer because I do...

I'm currently enrolled in Physics 1, and I'm doing fairly well in it. After this semester, I will begin taking my upper-level science courses. With my major, I am required to have all "common body of knowledge" courses (General biology and chemistry, math, physics, organic chem, etc) completed...

Hi all. I'm starting vet school in the Fall and am trying to figure out what to do this summer. It's a short summer and I will likely only have about 1.5 months free after my college graduation. I'm interested in zoo medicine and although it's a very challenging path, I am determined to give it...

I've heard from some people that especially for chemistry, I should take as much as possible at my home institution. I have two classes worth of tuition credit for this summer and was thinking of taking a semester of chemistry (gen chem 1) and a semester of physics (physics 2), or two semesters...

So, I'm a first year and now that we're halfway through with the spring semester, I've been hearing and seeing my classmates talk about how they've got internships, the Merial scholarship for summer research, the Banfield internship, others just going back home to work with their vet clinic, or...

With my degree plan, I'm required to complete all of my lower-level science courses before I begin the Fall 2016 semester. Because of this, I'm required to take physics 2 over the summer in order to meet the deadline. Also, I need to start studying for the DAT, and I've concluded that I will use...

This is NOT the post bac program I see everyone talking about; this is an undergrad prep program for med school. It is 3 years long, every summer. It's only open to NY/NJ residents. I'm wondering, did anyone on here apply to it? I've seen no mention of this program anywhere on SDN

Anyone else here going to be doing research at the NIH this summer?

I applied for 13 research internships and only have gotten into two programs so far :(. Based on the recent stream of rejection emails flooding my inbox, I don't think that I will have any more acceptances. The programs I was accepted into are at less prestigious/well-known/lower-ranked/etc...

The school I am likely to attend is offering a 3-4 week summer program for students to get early exposure to class material before the semester starts. It sounds like the program is intesnive and tries to mimic class as much as possible while covering historically difficult M1 topics to give...

Hey everyone, Has anyone ever participated in the NYU Orthopaedic Surgery Summer Externship program? I'd love to hear anything and everything about it, and whether you'd recommend it. I am currently deciding between that, or doing independent research with a pediatric orthopaedic surgeon. Any...

Hi, I am a freshman, planning on applying to med school after my junior year so that I do not take a gap year, ideally. Right now, I am involved with several volunteer-based clubs at my university, but looking forward, I would like to get any advice on how/when to gain clinical experience such...

Hello, I'm applying for quite a few summer research programs, and I'm starting to feel a bit anxious as to whether or not I'll get anything...any feedback would be appreciated! -Asian sophomore in an accelerated combined BS/MD program; planning on getting an MD/PhD -cGPA=3.93, sGPA=3.88 -1...

Hello, I have been accepted to the National Institutes of Health Summer Internship in Biomedical Research at the main campus in Bethesda, Maryland. I was wondering where others who are accepted are going to be living or if past participants could tell me about their experience with housing...

So as I enter my last semester of undergrad I've been thinking a lot about this coming summer. It's often touted as our "last summer," because summer following M1 is usually used for research opportunities and then there are no full summer breaks thereafter, therefore I really want to make it...

Hey guys! I was wondering if you guys have an input regarding summer research programs for the upcoming summer. Most I've seen require a 3.0 minimum but I currently have a 2.8 (I know, its horrible) and I am a junior. Please let me know if you have any recommendations

Hi. I am a prospective physics major (sophomore) in decent liberal arts college. I'm working on pre-med requirements. I searched this forum on physics, and all I got is how difficult physics is (which is not the case for me). I like physics and am good at computational skills so I am not...

Yay or Nay? (and Why?) (the professors who teach the summer and off track Orgo 1 and 2 are better than the academic year ones)

Hello I am curious on what you actually do at summer research programs at different universities. Like are you just collecting data for the university helping them or actually participating. I really don't know what you do when you join one of them after being accepted into one. Anyone that has...

Is there anyone else applying for this program? And for those who have attend this program on the past years what was your experience and ur stats if you don't mind sharing. Also is there anyone who might be willing to read and edit my essay?

I am currently a Freshman in college, and I am really trying to do something proactive this summer towards getting into medical school. I would really like to do one of the SMDEP programs, but the odds seem stacked against freshmen, as it is a first come first serve basis and a transcript is...

US Dental Students can share their opinions too! 1) I understand that you are on a student visa, and not a work visa. Thus, you probably are not able to work during the summer months. What are some of the things that you do during your "break"? 2) How was the adjustment in terms of...

Hi! I'm working on completing my OTCAS application, and I'm a little confused about which summer section I should put for when I attended one of the colleges I went to. I started there summer 2014 and graduated summer 2015, but the college doesn't specify which summer section my classes were...
