Should I pursue masters, just apply, or DIY post bacc?
Hello,
I just wanted to see what the best option for getting into med school. I had a 3.2 cgpa until my senior year. At the beginning of my senior year, I was a victim of an assault. It really took a toll over me. I withdrew from most of my classes.... I received a F in organic & my semester gpa was .59. My cgpa was a 3.0 after this semester. The next semester, I still struggled emotionally. I received a D in genetics & couldn’t graduate. My cgpa is now a 2.8. I am currently retaking...

Possible to get into dental school?
So I’ve had an upward trend with science classes but for gen chem 1 I received a C I failed Calculus 1 and I’ve received a B+ for both gen bio 1+2. All other bio courses such as genetics and cell bio I’ve had an A in and both orgo 1+2 as well as physics 1+2. Is it too much of a reach to try and go to dental school. Also would admissions pay mind to someone who grew up as an immigrant/ DACA status holder and coming from a poor family/ neighborhood. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Going to vet school after PhD and postdoctoral fellowship
hello my I am currently research assistant professor, I graduated a PhD in cardiac electrophysiology and genetic in 2012, I have done a postdoctoral fellowship at case western reserve University and now obtained a research assistant professor and published a couple of publications. However, I am an animal lover and have always been interested in going back to vet school and eventually change my career path. I was wondering whether it would be possible to do so and if anyone has done this in...

Losing Confidence - Do I Still Have a Chance?
Hey all,
I've seen a lot of posts about an upward trend and ~reinvention, but not many on what to do when you aren't doing well in those upper level bio courses that were supposed to prove you can handle this material. I bombed a biochem exam yesterday and I'm not doing so hot in genetics or bio ii either. My GPAs are already barely at a 3.0 and this likely won't help. I'd think that I wasn't cut out to be a doctor but I have a 95th percentile MCAT (which means I do know... things, right?)....

What are my chances-chronic disease edition
So folks here are my stats:
Public health major
Bio, chem minors
3.5 gpa, 3.2 science Gpa
499 mcat
200hrs of research
250 hrs of patient care
The twist? Chronic disease
Poorly managed Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis lead to extreme fatigue freshman year of college (my TSH reflex was 18!), being on too much synthroid caused me to have extreme anxiety, panic attacks, and crippling night sweats (TSH reflex of .2 at this point). Extreme genetic rosacea causes vasodilation in my face and...

MCAT prepare you for medical school?
I ordered a USMLE step 1 book and browsed through it. I realized that the MCAT tests almost everything in the USMLE step 1. I always hear how the MCAT is not representative of medical school; however, it seems that the MCAT is pretty much the same. The only difference, is that there are a few more diseases (which are covered in undergraduate biochem courses and even entry level genetics). But the concept mastery is pretty much the same. In fact, I would have been better prepared for the MCAT...

Low GPA. Where do I go for pharmacy schools?
Hello everyone,
I am an undergraduate in my junior year.
My overall GPA is 2.75 and Science GPA is 2.8.
No pharm experience.
About my science classes, I retook bio 1 for the second time and bio 2 for the third time but all ended up with C. I passed chem 1 & 2 with As.
Currently taking Genetics and Immunology but I think I am failing Immunology. I cannot withdraw the class because I am an international student.
I am not doing very well with biology classes. I think I enjoy chemistry...

Getting yet another B
I’m not really looking for advice, I’m just here to rant. I figured a community dedicated to going to med school would be a nice place to leave this.
I’m getting a B in genetics for sure. The absolute best I can do is an A- if I get 100% on the next midterm and final and all the assignments. It’s not likely, because I studied my ass off for the second midterm but oh well. I got a D.
I’ve gotten a B in gen chem, B+s in calc and stats. I got an A- in intro bio lab. An A- in orgo 2 lab. I’m...

Medical Genetics?
Hello there,
I want to ask you guys about this branch of medicine. I found it quite recently and there seems to be quite a little info about it. Most of the information I found was here in years old threads, so I decided that hopefully, I can get some new perspectives and insights.
My first question obviously is if this is still a thing if I can be interested in Medical Genetics and find a job in a 10 years span. (If I can do it all).
My second question is quite obvious too, which route...

I'm worry ADCOMS will think I'm Padding my GPA
Hello everyone,
I am current Sophomore at a 4 years state university. My plan is to take the MCAT in the Spring of my junior year (a year from now). However, I have a question regarding the classes that I will take.
I am going to take 2 research-for-credits classes, totaling 6 credits during my Junior year. I am also contemplating of doing Genetics UTA, which will give me another 3 credit during my Junior Year. The reason why I want to do UTA because I have a passion for teaching, and...
