WAMC at Icahn FIexmed
Hey guys, I am a current freshman in college and I recently found out about the Flexmed program and I thought that it would be the perfect opportunity for me. I have a large interest in computer science as well as music, and going to a university that is close to my hometown has allowed me to continue a lot of what I built for my community and myself in college. I wanted to get opinions on if I have a good shot at the program!
Any activity I am currently still involved in will have a * next...

Do I even have a chance?
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...

IA - What to do
Hi, I'll be graduating in 2024 and aiming to apply in the 2024-25 cycle. I received an Academic dishonesty IA in my freshman year and would appreciate feedback on how this will affect my application and further steps I should take.
In spring semester of my freshman year, my computer keyboard broke and I ended up working with a classmate for a coding homework assignment, which he emailed to me and I submitted. Our entries were flagged as being similar and I received an academic dishonesty...

I have tried multiple browsers on multiple computers at multiple IP addresses. If someone could have mercy on me and send these materials, I would be extremely grateful. I am a clinical neuropsychology trainee planning ahead for internship/post-doc applications and, like everyone else it seems, would love to end up in California. I will...
