When I was ten years old I had an extremely complicated, incredibly dangerous, and forever impactful surgical operation. It was an appendicitis. Okay, fine, it's probably the most routine surgical operation that exists in medicine. But as a very very sick ten year old, that was how I viewed it...

Hello, I am working on building my school list and was hoping I can receive some help. I am not too familiar with SDN, so I apologize if this is not in the correct format, etc. My undergrad institution requires a LOR from a DO we have shadowed/worked with in order to apply to DO schools. My...

Hello! I would like some advice from the good people of this forum concerning my OAT results, which I got back yesterday. My cGPA is 3.2 and my sGPA is a bit below that (ditto with my pre-reqs - my post-bacc years-long repair process mostly focused on upper divisions). My biggest strength is...

Hi Everyone, This is my first post on this thread so it may be somewhat long. I'm feeling somewhat discouraged because this pandemic really set me behind by ALOT. I was supposed to apply next cycle but several people on reddit have told me to take a gap year because my chances of getting in...

Hi all! I wanted to get opinions on the school list I’ve submitted to and potentially get some more suggestions. To add more context to my stats, I have 150 hours of clinical volunteering, 3 years (~450 hours) of research, went to a T10 undergrad, and have had a variety of ECs and leadership...

Hi! I would appreciate any and all advice/help about this. I would prefer to go to a medical school in California and would prefer MD but I don't know realistically what my chances are and if my only hope are DO schools in CA. I wouldn't mind MD schools in other states but don't know if I have a...

Hi, I am worried that I have applied too late and have shot myself in the foot! I submitted primary on August 24th so it is still being waiting for review to be verified, and so haven't received any secondaries yet. That said I think I have a strong and unique application that I hope will make...

Hello. To preface, I’m aware my numbers are on shaky ground, so we can get that out of the way. However, I think my numbers fall within some parameters for DO admission, especially when combined with my experiences. I’m in my mid 20s and graduated college four-ish years ago. The 3.3 cGPA was...

Help! Should I apply to more schools? I was hesitant to apply to schools that I would not attend if it was my only acceptance. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Thank you! PS please be nice on my thread. Date of submission: AADSAS submitted 6/18 Overall GPA: 3.52 DAT score: 24 AA LOR...

Hi all :). I just finished up my application and I’m looking for some feedback before I submit it. In early July I ruptured a tendon in my ankle and am currently awaiting surgery. I was put in a boot and on crutches, so I had to cut down my work schedule along with shadowing. I put this in my...

I received my MCAT score today and was thoroughly disappointed at how low it was..but I'm going to apply this cycle anyways as I've poured a lot of time into my application. However, I'm now at a complete loss with what to do with my school list as the schools I had before had MCAT median scores...

Hello SDN community. I would appreciate any advice on appropriate schools to apply to this cycle. This is my second time applying. Last year, I don't think I applied to enough realistic schools, but I also didn’t return my secondaries in a timely manner. I received one interview invitation, to...
