WAMC non-trad, transcript repair
Hi guys,
I'll try to keep this short. Posted previously about a year ago.
School: Pitt
Major: Neuroscience
I enrolled in 2 semesters at a university back in the fall of 2016 and spring of 2017. I was going through some pretty major issues at home. My first semester I had a 2.7. The next semester I left campus a week after the semester began and did not withdrawal from my classes so I failed my 4 classes. My school denied a request for a retroactive withdrawal but I plan to keep trying...

low gpa options
i have a 2.8 undergrad gpa and wanted to know what's the best way to repair my gpa to be competitive for D.O schools? I also have around 6Ws on my transcripts (600 hrs of ER volunteer hours ) a couple of pre-med clubs and haven't taken the mcat yet. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

One C during transcript repair - How big of a deal is this?
I got a C in Organic Chemistry the summer I got COVID (Summer 2022). It was an 8-week course and I was sick for a full two weeks, so that definitely made a dent. (You had to be afebrile for 72 hours to be permitted on campus and that fever would not budge for two weeks.)
The issue with this is that I was working on transcript repair after getting a boatload of W's due to unrelated, now-resolved health problems. The past 1.5 years look great other than that one, ugly C! I took one other...

How may more post-bacc credits will I need given my trend?
I'm currently in the middle of a post bacc for gpa repair, aiming to end at the end of fall semester 2023.
Prior to my post bacc, my grades + trend were:
cGPA: 3.28
sGPA: 3.140 (this might be higher depending on if 12 credits are classified as BCPM, but here I'm assuming they're not)

Multigen RFA repair
Old stryker multigen died today. Stuck on the initializing screen then screen goes blank. Seems like a screen issue.
Does anyone have any idea where it can be repaired. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

How dumb would it be to have surgery before Step 1 and surgery rotations
I have a partial tricep tear that needs to be repaired. It is scheduled for 6/19, with my Step 1 scheduled for 6/22, and surgery rotation scheduled for 7/3. I figure I'll be out of my brace by 7/3, and the surgery itself won't take that long so I'll really only lose 1 day. I figure the post-surgery pain will be gone by 6/22, considering I felt pretty much back to normal after a surgery 2 years ago within about a day or 2. For anyone who has had a triceps repair surgery, how dumb would this...

Admissions member at state school said to quit research job and do full-time masters?
Graduated last May, currently working as an RA at Harvard while working on the MCAT and taking classes after as I graduated with a 2.9 gpa. I recently got the chance to call an admissions member at my state school who suggested that I quit my research job and emphasized doing a full-time masters. This goes against what my undergrad advisor (not an admissions member) said, who encouraged me to take this job while I do transcript repair. I'm confused on who to listen to, any advice?

Pelvic exams and cancer
So on the big Physcian community Facebook group there was a thread topic saying that ED/PCPs do not do as many pelvics as one OBGYN would like. They all list cancer as why pelvics should be done. There were a few posts saying it was malpractice for missing cancer. But when I do my pelvics and the cervix looks nonuniform I just tell them to go to OBGYN.
Even if it is a necrotic mass Gyn says they should still follow up in the office.
I see for foriegn body removal or lac repair (calling...

Transcript repair situation and my final semester
I am doing transcript repair. I had a ton of withdrawals, the most recent of which occurred in Fall 2021. The health issue that caused them has been corrected.
I am in my final semester. I could just take what I need to graduate and get out, which would be a science class and a language class. I can take the language class at CC and that's what I want to do for financial and continuity reasons. (The breaks between the language levels aren't identical between the two schools. I have been...

DIY Courseload and Cancer treatment
Happy 2023 everyone!
Last year, I started my post-bacc journey (DIY GPA repair) right after the military. 2 months in, I was hit with cancer and have been undergoing treatment since February 2022. Spring 2022: I completed 2 upper-div science courses (6 units), receiving As with difficulty because of the cancer. My treatment may be complete in 2 months and now is the time to start again. However, I am still dealing with treatment into February and have part-time overseas military duties to...

Achilles rupture during TAL
Hey all,
I've asked a few people regarding this and I wanted to get some thoughts.
Say you are doing a flatfoot reconstruction and also doing a tendo achilles lengthening. If you accidentally rupture the tendon, are you typically repairing it? I've seen it happen a few times in residency and it was never repaired, but I've spoken to a few other docs I really respect saying in an otherwise healthy individual you typically should repair it. However, it's going to be a nightmare to flip a...
