worried

Was very fortunate to have just completed my first interview at a local school. I felt like it went very well. One of my talking points was how my father owns a practice nearby. The interviewer (who is a PA) was curious and asked for my fathers name. I gave him his name, and that was that...

Hey guys. I am an aspiring medical (MD/DO), underrepresented student (Physics Major/Maths Minor) and I have been freaking out over the fact that my undergraduate grades for sGPA has shown a downward trend! I ended up getting only 3 C+s in my upper-level physics courses (Quantum Physics...

Hi All, I would like to preface this by saying that I attended full-time dual enrollment program from 2016 to May of 2018 that allowed to earn an associate degree. Since these credits were completed before my high school diploma was issued, I believe they are considered dual enrollment...

I'm a high school student and I start applying for colleges this summer. I'm so scared because I've been reading about GPA deflations at my dream school, Johns Hopkins. Granted, statistically, I most likely won't get in, but it's got me thinking about whether I should really go through with...

This is my first post on SDN. I'm in a very specific situation, and any advice would be greatly appreciated. I would like to preface by saying that it is my dream to one day become a doctor. I am currently taking 2 labs, two second level science classes, and two electives. I am a full-time dual...

New here so please excuse any stupid questions. I've been wanting to go to medical school for almost my entire life. I just love healthcare in general. Recently I've been having doubts about medical school because I can't handle stress that well and I'm afraid I won't be happy working so much. I...

Hello friends, long time lurker here. I take my DAT in about a week and I've taken 4 individual PAT BC tests this past week and I'm not able to finish any of them. My strategy is to avoid TFE by making sure I do the rest to solid accuracy. I start on Angle-hole punch-cube-pattern-keyhole and IF...

I just finished my freshman year and I really want to get into medical school or my University's Junior Medical Honors Program (UF). I will apply to this program Spring Sophomore year. My science GPA dropped from a 4.0 to a 3.95 because I bombed the ecology section of my biology test (who...

Eligibility document disappeared today (my eligibility would have lasted a number of months still). This does not have a bearing on pass/fail anymore from my understanding but DOES say scores are coming back this next week. Anyone else expecting? How are you feeling?

So I had my interview at UMD two weeks ago and I know of two people that interviewed the same day as me already got in. I haven't heard back from them yet.... should I be worried? I thought my interview went extremely well and if anything it helped my application. Please let me know your...

I am a Junior in chemical engineering. Coming into this semester I had everything going well with a 3.83 GPA and a 3.88 sGPA; however, I did not do so hot this semester. I got a D in one of my chemical engineering classes and this will put me back a year, but I found that if i switch to...

I'm currently enrolled in Physics 1, and I'm doing fairly well in it. After this semester, I will begin taking my upper-level science courses. With my major, I am required to have all "common body of knowledge" courses (General biology and chemistry, math, physics, organic chem, etc) completed...

So I have not been doing well throughout my college years. I major in Biology and the Bio department at my school sucks. Professors grade harshly and don't curve. The Bio dept. has the lowest gpa out of all the other departments at my school. I have received many Cs and a D in my science...

I submitted most of my secondaries in August, but I've only received one interview invite and 2 rejections. I applied to 14 schools, most in California. How late are we in the cycle? Should I be worried? I've noticed many people on here getting interviews and acceptances galore, but I'm not sure...

Hi! I'm an IMG, and have been studying for step 1 for the past 6 months (I did kaplan lecture noted and videos first) and for the past 3 months I have been doing only Kaplan qbank + FA. My qbank average is 51% and I am almost done with the entire qbank. I did uwsa 1 about three months ago and...

Hello, SDN! From the title, I guess you can already tell that I am a little late to the game. I'm wondering about what to do about the rest of my time in undergrad in order to maximize my chances and would love input from you. I'm thinking about taking a gap year as well. In case you are...

I'm now a Junior in high school, and the last two years (Freshman and Sophomore) have been complete trash (Bs and Cs all around) and now my Junior is already slipping down to hell(I have two Cs, a D-, and all rest Bs and As). I am extremely worried because I know even if I get straight A's my...

Hello! I'm currently a 3rd year math major, looking to apply to MD and DO schools in a year. I'm not aiming for the top. I'm not extremely picky about schools or their ranking. I'll be mostly aiming for UVM, since it's my home state. The reason why I'm worried is because I know I'll perform...
