Hello all-- Spring semester of junior year about to start and I would greatly appreciate your opinions on my chances on getting into medical school because I feel like I'm doing things a little non-traditional and all the advice I keep hearing is confusing and contradictory! Many thanks to you...

Hello everyone! I know you have probably read many of these posts so i'll try to keep it specific to see if I can get any helpful advice. I have graduated a decent university in Canada with an overall 3.2 cGPA and my first two years were quite poor and affected my cGPA badly. However, I obtained...

Hello! First post on SDN so please have mercy... I'm graduating this August with a BS in bio and CS minor after 2 years of college. I plan to take the MCAT in June, apply to lots of MD programs with a few DO backups, and take a gap year to work/adult/be 21. Could anyone offer me some realistic...

Any advice...

Does it make sense for people with less than 3.0 GPA to do a post baccalaureate program or go back to undergrad. I wish I waited to go to college but I did not and no point wishing or what not. I want to see about others opinion on doing either.

So, I know this is an extremely school specific question, but I am just curious in general if most schools wait to re-review applicants on hold until after the secondary deadline when they know that they have their entire application pool for a given cycle? and because of this is there...

On this thread for a reason: what are my chances? My GPA is pretty damn low, but I feel like my general experience and MCAT scores might overcome it? I really just need to know if my GPA is going to require me to do some post-bacc work or a masters degree to bring it up. I really messed up in...
