Hi all, I’m fortunate to be choosing between UVA, SUNY Downstate, and NYMC. I’m interested in academic neurosurgery/neuroscience research, though I know interests can change. At first, I thought UVA was close to a no-brainer based on fit, research, and student experience. However, I asked a...

Hi! I recently got into all of the schools listed in the title this application cycle, and I was wondering which one would be the best for premed (cost is not an issue or factor). I listed some pros and cons I have gathered for each school, and would love to see your feedback (Neuroscience major...

I'm a VA resident and thankfully was able to receive some grant money but I'm stuck between a lower cost/ lower ranked VCU vs a slightly higher cost but better-ranked UVA. I think both schools offer great opportunities and I could see myself going to both but I'm a bit more drawn to UVA because...

Hi all, this is my first post. I was fortunate enough to be accepted to both schools and wanted to hear what you guys thought of these schools for my undergrad. I am from Virginia, but Pitt would be cheaper, but the cost won't affect the decision. I applied as a bio major and I'm set on...

Hi everyone! I don’t see a thread like this anywhere so I figured I’d start one. How is everyone’s application cycle going for next year’s post Bac cycle? I applied to UVA, Goucher, Bryn-Mawr and Loras. So far I’ve got interviews at UVA and Goucher, plus an acceptance at Loras.

I've been accepted to UVA and Hopkins' post-bacc programs for career changers. Anyone have opinions about one versus the other? UVA seems like a more collaborative rather than competitive environment, and features Post-Bacc-only classes for almost every prerequisite. At Hopkins, prereqs are...

Hi everyone, I'm a rising second year at UVA and I have a tough decision to make before the school year begins. I have all of the necessary classes needed to declare either a neuroscience major or a biology major, with the exception of one course for the neuroscience major and 2 semesters of gen...

Hi guys! I am currently freaking out a bit about putting together a school list that covers the right amount of range of schools from all ranks. My stats are: MCAT 518, GPA 3.97 (from UVA-Virginia resident) Extracurricular wise, I've got a good number of hours of research (no major...

I fell head over heels in love with Vanderbilt's program, both during the interview and the second look weekend, but they came through with a really weak financial aid package for me. Now I'm more seriously considering UVA, which I don't love quite as much and isn't as well-ranked, but it's...

Hi guys, I may be on the wrong forum but oh well: So I'm considering between UVA and UPitt for undergrad. Fir Upitt total costs is around 23k while UVA is around 59k after financial aid and scholarships. I know for a fact I want to be a doctor, so which school is better for premed? Which one...

Vanderbilt Pros: Highly ranked 1 year preclinical curriculum Small class size Shade Tree clinic - definitely the best student run clinic I've come across Great anatomy lab and opening a brand new med school building this year Great for neuro Nashville is very diverse city and is growing more...

Hi, I recently received all of my undergrad college admissions decisions and need to make my school choice very soon. I intend on studying biomedical engineering (or bioengineering) on the premed track. I really want to be a doctor. My top options are: M.I.T., University of Virginia, UC...

I've been accepted to all three (haven't heard anything from financial aid yet). Would be thankful for any input anyone might have because right now I'm really not leaning one way or the other. WashU Pro Top10, highly respected school with great hospital system St. Louis is an affordable place...

Besides SIU's MedPrep and the UC-Consortium which are for academic enhancers and not career-changers, it seems post-bac programs are not URM-friendly, which is interesting considering the whole point of post-bac programs is to help get people into medical school. My reasoning: 1) Post-bacs are...

Hey everyone, Pretty glad I have a choice, but now I have no idea what to do. Background: From Virginia, want to match in Cali (born and raised there), probably gas, opthal, or rads. I feel like my situation is more or less Cost vs Lifestyle vs Prestige. VCU: ++ Great scholarship offer...

Vanderbilt Pros: Very customizable and flexible curriculum Several months of the curriculum are dedicated specifically to a research project Strong neuro/psych research (an area of interest for me) Brand new anatomy lab (not in a basement!) Highly ranked I lived in Nashville from 2005-2010, I...

I've been chasing UVA ever since I started at the community college, but now that application time is coming around, I've gotten honest with myself and it has sort of hit me that maybe a competitive school like UVA where A's are hard to come by (for example, Physics curves down) isn't the best...

Hi all, I just took my MCAT in July and got a 514 - 128 chem/phys, 126 cars, 130 bio, 130 psych. I have a 3.36 overall GPA from UVA but it shows a marked incline (got a 3.8 the last semester). Very involved with research (clinical and lab) and scribing. I think I will have good LORs as well...

Hello everyone! I am a third year student at the University of Virginia hoping to apply to a long list of DO schools next fall in my final undergrad year. I didn't do so hot my 1st year and had a gpa of 2.9. My 2nd year I had surgery on my brain and was out for the fall semester and returned in...

Hello! I got into UF (UF Honors) and UVa for undergrad. I plan on majoring in biology, going on the pre-med track. UF is my state school, so it's almost free (about 3K tuition). UVa would cost me about 32K tuition. Putting cost aside, which school is better for premed in terms of course work...

Hey Guys, I have been fortunate enough to be accepted to multiple schools, and have narrowed down my choices to these three. I am having a very hard time deciding between them and would love to get some input from anyone who has some insight into these institutions. I am not 100% sure what I...

(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...

Senior Year of High School I thought it would be fun to take my classes at the community college (BAD IDEA) F in Spanish I, D in Sociology, D in Government, D in College Composition II. Not hard classes, just wasn't putting in the work. I have read the related forums, I know, and accept, that...
