Conceptualizing the Amount of Content in Med School
I want to get an idea of how dense the material is in reference to my prior experiences.
In college, I took Organic Chemistry I (3 credits) in the span of 6 weeks during the summer, which was absolute hell. What is med school like compared to this frame of reference? Is each block (9 weeks) like learning 8 credits or something? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Retake a C in Organic Chemistry 2?
I'm finishing my sophomore year.
I have a perfect GPA besides one C I'll get in Orgo 2. I tried my absolute hardest in this class but the results just didn't align with my effort. I got super unlucky.
I'll have an overall GPA of 3.9 (60 credits). I can guarantee to get an A if I retake it. Is it worth it?
Not a troll post, I'm genuinely unsure. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

MD-PhD - Fears of GPA and previous Majors holding me back
Hello everyone!
So I have changed majors quite a few times over my long years in college. I have switched from Network Security to Computer Science before finding my passion in Chemistry where I had earned my first degree. I was in the process of earning my PhD in Chemistry when COVID-19 hit and layoffs occurred (funding dried up and I can't work for free). As I was stuck in a location where I could not use my degree and could not afford to move thanks to student loans, I eventually found...

Need HELP deciding between SJSU or Cal Poly SLO for premed as a biology student
Pros for SJSU: close to home (can commute ~15 mins away), slightly cheaper tuition, in the center of various hospitals and medical centers (might be too competitive to get a spot)
Cons for SJSU: not highly competitive for premed, ranked slightly lower (big fish in small pond?), will have to get a minor in chemistry, maybe too close to home?
Pros for SLO: according to their website, "the percentage of Cal Poly students who were accepted to medical school for the entering classes of 2013-2017...

Biology, Chemistry or neuroscience major in college
Hello guys
I need some guidance for choosing my major. I have already taken gen bio, gen chem, organic chem and it is almost the time for taking upper level classes and the time I have to choose my major. I waited to take all these classes to decide what I want but I am still confused. I liked bio 1 but not a fan of bio 2 . Gen chem was not bad but not my favorite either. But I loved Organic chemistry 1 and 2 . I know that I would like the bio for human but I don’t like bio for animals and...

Introduction & Should I apply this cycle (2023/2024)
Good evening.
I am an international student seeking advice and a realistic opinion about my chances of getting into medical school.
Background, I am from Spain, studied in Illinois, and got a bachelor's in Biology (B.S.) and a chemistry minor. I started my bachelor's in 2018 and finished in May 2022.
My cumulative GPA is 3.105 and my science is 3.0 I believe. I am aware this is not a competitive GPA, but I have a pretty decent upward trend going from a 2.2 in my first semester to...

2023 DAT Breakdown (25AA/ 28TS/ 20 PAT)
Score:
Bio – 25
GC – 30
OC – 30
RC – 19
QR – 19
PAT – 20
TS – 28
AA – 25
Background: Graduated with a 3.97 GPA in Chemistry/ Biochemistry.
Materials used:
DAT Booster!!
I believe Booster is the biggest help. They have all materials you would ever need to achieve a great score! I am sure that I would not be able to get a 25 on the Bio section without Feralis Bio Study Notes. I believe the best way to study Science subjects is continuously practicing...

Combining Careers?
My Background: BSc in Physics with a 2.965 GPA that needs improvement. I have taken biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, anatomy and physiology, etc. My interests are:
I want to develop HIV and cancer medications. I have volunteered in these areas, and I want to do more.
I want to help animals get a prosthetic tail, my Pomeranian had hers amputated and I wish to help her for cosmetic reasons. Shadowing at a vet has so many problems, what can I do to help owners and pets as it's...
