what are my chances

As the title says, I would really appreciate if someone could give me advice if I should retake the MCAT to get into D.O. schools or if anyone on here has gotten accepted into an osteopathic school with similar stats. - My MCAT came back today with a 501 (128/121/127/125). The CARS score...

Hi All, From observing both MSAR data and general trends on here, I've noticed that there tends to be a pretty low disparity between cGPA and sGPA. I know that many schools have cutoff GPAs and will autoscreen applicants who fall below their minimum threshold. I was wondering if this applies to...

Hello, Medical school is over for me and I thought it would be a good idea to share my experience given that I used this forum considerably during my medical/pre-medical school years and found it rather helpful. In particular, I want to share my story from the moment I applied to medical school...

From reading a lot of the threads in the "What are my chances?" forum, I've found that my situation is not as unique as I originally believed; I don't know whether that is a good thing or a bad thing! Regardless, I decided rather late in the game that medical school was what I really wanted to...

Just would like straight forward responses. I can take the heat. What are my chances for MD/DO? South Carolina Residency. Non-URM. I had a terrible first semester at school with a 2.5, but I quickly followed up that semester with a 3.7. After that my grades fluctuated, but never fell below 3.4...

Hey guys, I'm currently on the waitlist at my top school of choice (also happens to be the only place I interviewed at), but am also preparing for the 2018 cycle in case I don't get pulled off the waitlist. I sent out my application rather late last cycle (secondaries sent out in...

Hi all, I am currently majoring in neuroscience and just finished my second year. I have a 3.0 GPA and realistically think I will raise it to a 3.4 by graduation (anticipating high upward trends). With that, and assuming my MCAT score is "good" (slightly above average?), should hope be lost...
