Hello all, I am pretty new to SDN and am preparing for my first application cycle following my recent graduation from undergrad. I'm hoping I can get someone to help me narrow down my extremely rough school list, give me some tips to improve my resume over the course of my gap year, and let me...

Hi everyone, was hoping I could get some help with a school list!

Hi everyone. This is my first time applying to MD programs and am looking for help creating my school list. Right now, I'm a little overwhelmed with finalizing my list. I have a solid list of schools I want to go to/am competitive for, and am looking to apply to 20-25 total. Having trouble...

Hi guys! I wanted to share my stats and list to see if anyone had advice on what high-tiers to drop and what low/mid tiers to add (the list is very long and ambitious so would appreciate any input!) MCAT: 524 (132, 130, 130, 132) cGPA: 3.98 sGPA: 3.99 ORM; VA resident Research: around 1500 in...

Hello! I'm applying this cycle and after having a decent MCAT score I aimed a little too high for the school list and realized it's not gonna make up for my subpar GPA. Trying to set my sights a little more realistically and hoping for some feedback. Thank you in advance! State/Country of...

Hey everyone, I'll be applying both MD/DO this cycle as a first-time applicant, and I'm hoping to narrow my list down to around 40 schools (which sounds wild, but I know with my GPA I need to be applying pretty broadly). I have a pretty general school list put together right now, but I'd love...

Hi everyone! This is actually my first time posting on SDN 😯 I'm a first-time applicant, and I plan on sending apps to 25-30 schools (MD and open to DO). I've spent a lot of time trying to put a school list together by balancing mission fit, median MCAT, median GPA, location, etc. but I've come...

I'm a reapplicant this cycle, sitting pretty on 2 WL's (one for an MSTP at a T30, I'm in the top portion of their WL, and one for a regular MD school, have no clue where I'm ranked as they didn't specify). I applied 90% MD/PhD last cycle and I was complete at around 9/5/20-9/10/20. My plan is to...

So I am applying to both MD and DO schools this cycle. I am a non-traditional student who graduated in 2014, worked a few years, then did a post-bac in 2017-2019. cGPA: 3.2 Post Bac GPA 3.93 (all science classes) sGPA: 3.75 (post bac+undergrad) Note: I know my cGPA is a bit low, but I am...

Hey, everyone! I could use some help with my school list. I have MSAR, but I'm a little lost with how to use it and where I should apply/not apply. My application focuses on rural medicine and I would like to work in rural or underserved communities. Thank you in advance for any help...

Hey everyone thanks for taking the time to help me out! I'm a non-trad with a low GPA but solid upward trend (last 5 semesters: 3.75, 4.0, 3.80, 3.91, 3.93) and a decent MCAT score. I would really like to attend an MD school, I know my uGPA is low, but I hope my more recent grades and MCAT will...

Hi! I'm creating this post to shed some light onto what schools/how many schools I should apply to? And if I should apply to DO as well: I'm really nervous about this process and worried my GPA is holding me back as compared to my peers and their 4.0s. Do i even have a shot at T20? T10? Some...

Hey guys, I'm in need of some help with WAMC and particularly finalizing a school list. I am unsure of whether I have too many reach schools with my somewhat low EC's (especially due to COVID this past year and the fact that I'm 20 and graduating early), and also not sure whether it's worth...

Hi everyone! I'm anticipating having to reapply the next cycle and I would greatly appreciate advice on a school list (I'm so overwhelmed by all the factors). I graduated from a decent state school (2019) and already took a gap year before applying the first time (2020), so I'll have taken 2...

Hello! I'm new to SDN and looking for some advice with refining my school list. I'm applying for the upcoming 2021-2022 cycle. I'm trying to apply super broadly since I know my GPA/MCAT isn't amazing. I will also be applying to DO schools as well but haven't made that list yet. Please let me...
