Nontrad here. My projected graduation date is 2020, and with all my courses plotted out, thanks to horrific grades from 2009-2012, I've calculated that my GPA will be about a 3.2c/3.5s with a massive upward trend. (DO sGPA would be higher, about 3.8.) The thing is, I have so many credits that...

Let me start off by saying that I have read the past threads. However, they are a little outdated and I am not sure if things have changed since then. Also, I have more questions. Let me start off by saying that I applied for the voc reha online, TWICE. I applied in February and received no...

This is a long shot, but I have a question for any California residents who are planning on taking advantage of the CalVet College Fee Waiver, offered to qualified veterans and dependents of veterans (making under $12k/yr). Theoretically, if you qualify and are accepted into a UC (big "if")...

Hello, I am a new M1 and I am concerned about a situation that I am not sure I can present to my faculty or advisors. I have been struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD (veteran here), and I take my meds regularly as prescribed for some time. However, I recently found out that I am eligible...

Hi. Thanks for clicking. Hopefully you can help me out. I'm looking for a list of schools that could range from reach to safety (if that even exists for someone in my lowly position). I've done my own research, but some of it seems conflicting so your input will help. Some info about me: 27...

Hi, I will be attending a private medical school this August with a full tuition scholarship (63K) for all four years. I am also eligible for the Post 9/11 GI Bill and because of my service connected disability I have applied for the Vocational rehab program through the VA which, if approved...

Hi I am a single mom who recently went back to school. My current pursuing degree is a Bachelors in Public health/ Pre- Med track. Initially my goal was to become a NP or PA, but one morning I woke up with the idea of going to medical school. I guess I am here to ask if it is do-able, if anyone...

Hi, I'm a US-IMG, hoping to match this year into residency. Some of the programs on my rank list have rotations at VA hospitals. Someone told me that to rotate at a VA, I should be registered for the US military draft. Can anyone shed some light on this matter? Is is true? What does it...

Hey Guys, I was curious with the new VA bill passing for podiatrists to be considered physicians now, how will that affect our pay grade in the VA system and will that effect the HSCP scholarships if we joined the Navy/Army etc. Thanks

Hi there, I am a long time reader, 1st time poster. I was hoping if you all could give me a little bit of advice? My dream is to become a medical doctor, and here is my situation: I am a 37 year old US military veteran who just graduated with a BS Microbiology degree (thank you Uncle Sam!). My...

Hey everyone, Can someone please take a look at my plan for classes and tell me what you think? The pre-health advisors at my school are less than helpful - I wish they had told me to take Chem 1 before Bio 1... :/ I recognize classes from school to school vary (and prof to prof for that...
