I just graduated with a BS in biology. All my life, I aspired to become a physician. Before college, I thought I had it all figured out. I volunteered at my neighborhood hospital and I loved working with patients, doctors, nurses, etc. I declared my major at the start of college. Except for...

Hello to anyone who reads this, as you can see from the title of this conversation I'm seeking advice about my current situation. It has always been my dream to become a doctor, this is one of the earliest memories I have from growing up. This is something I've always wanted and have always...

So I finished my first year of college and it was a sh*tshow. I have a cumulative 2.77 due to the biomedical engineering major I tried to pursue (meaning harder chemistry calc based, and harder physics) and I completely screwed myself I suppose. I got C+ when they should've been B's in the...

Hello SDN this is my very first post. I couldn't find an answer anywhere on on the site, but I remember looking up pre-reqs for for medical schools on the school websites and reading that one school did have an exception of some sort for this. I'm currently taking Gen Chem 2 and it includes...

So I've switched my major from Nursing to Biology my sophomore year. I'm currently a junior now and have a 2.6 ogpa im not far into my major's courses meaning I've only taken 3 courses in the "major field courses" and have a 2.71 sgpa so far. My science, math, & tech core courses gpa is a 3.7...

Coming here because I feel like no one truly understands my dilemma and I am trying to find a solution. I am currently SENIOR at a state university graduating dec. 2017 Major/Minor: Biology/Chemistry Research Experience: Have done ecological research (and upcoming research in the Galapagos...

Hi guys! This is my first post here. Basically, I'm a senior in high school trying to decide where to go next year (down to the wire, I know haha). My options are TCNJ/NJMS 7 year program, Washington and Lee, or Tulane. I got scholarships at all of these schools, so cost is not really a factor...

I am in my senior year, still have one semester before I graduate. I took my MCATs recently, and did not do well enough to balance out my mediocre GPA (503, 3.6) for Allopathic MD. I was already planning to take a gap year (or two) off. I am trying to figure out the best use of my time. I have a...

Hello, I'm currently a high school senior and I'm about to make my final decision on my undergrad institution. I'm narrowed down to these three choices and I have no idea where to go next with this; thus, I turn to SDN. Does anyone have any insight of the premed programs at these school...

Hey guys I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to improve my application for this cycle. I am a non traditional student and had to take a few pre-reqs to be considered last year. I applied last year and got interviewed and waitlisted at tennessee and also waitlisted at UF...

Hi everyone- glad to see SDN is still here. I am coming back from an undergrad hiatus. I was chasing a major and a course of study that was not working for me (trying to be perfect) and fell flat on my ass. So, now I'm beginning to get myself together (not too much grade damage- one semester...

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...

Hey, So I am currently a freshman at a pretty large state school, and I have the opportunity to start a pretty big Frat (FIJI) on campus. This group seems to be one of the more academics oriented Frats, and I have the chance to be one of the first members, which means that I would have almost...

I currently am a marketing and international business co-major at a nationally ranked business undergraduate university. Assuming I take all my "Pre-Med" prerequisites and do well on the MCAT, will my major negatively impact my chances at getting into medical school? I was thinking about picking...

I am currently a high school freshman. I have heard that I shouldn't focus on a career now, but I am sure this is what I want to do. Are there any majors that would be best in college? And what are the best colleges for a medical undergrad? I read Pre-Med major has awful scores on the MCATs. I...

Hello everyone, This will be my first post, I've been on this site for a few months now and just recently made an account. I am a first year undergrad student finishing up my first semester and have wanted to become a physical therapist since my sophomore year of high school. I know this is...

Care to share where you went for Undergrad? Do you feel your school is/did adequately prepare you for Dental School? Is there anywhere you wish you went instead/regrets? Was the school close to or far away from home and do you feel that had an effect on your growth as an individual? Would...
