Poor Last Semester Grades
I need some serious advice on what to do next. Before my final semester My cGPA= 3.63 and sGPA=3.34. I made one C during college in Genetics prior to my last semester and failed an English class due to health issues/I couldn't finish the course, but retook it and made an A. I have been trying to raise my science GPA and needed two more bio courses to finish my biology minor, so I took Climate Change Biology and Human Physiology, but unfortunately, I totally shot myself in the foot and may...

Confusion about Pre-Requisites
At my UG, we are able to skip both Gen Bio 1 + 2 with AP Biology credit. I was always told that I shouldn't use AP credit, but as a Bio major, I'm going to be taking harder biology classes anyways (e.g. Genetics, Physiology). My school already does this really weird thing were we have 1 semester of Gen Chem + 2 semesters of Organic + 1 semester of Biochem (but we label the first semester of Organic on AMCAS as Gen Chem 2), so I was wondering if I could just do the same with my biology...

Disabled nontrad premed seeking advice
I graduated in 2016 with a degree in neuroscience and journalism from a SUNY school with a 4.0 GPA. I have since worked in clinical research while enduring many surgeries (due to a genetic condition), including an ankle reconstruction that left me unable to walk well and I can’t drive a car. It is simply unsafe for me to commute right now, but I don’t want this to hold up my education any longer. I wanted to go to the Columbia program, but it’s just not realistic. I plan on getting my ankle... Read more (Source: Student Doctor Network)

3 science courses a semester as a pre-med student?
Hi guys, I was wondering what your opinions are on taking 3 science courses a semester? I have done it before last semester taking Organic Chem 1, Cell Bio, and Physics 2 and received As in all three. I did this while working as a tutor 8-10 hrs a week, as well as volunteering in a research lab 3 hrs a week. This upcoming semester, my academic advisor arranged it so I will be taking Organic Chem 2, Genetics, and Biochem. I will continue working as a tutor 8-10 hrs a week, and...

Psychiatrists: The new "psychologists with prescription privileges"?
I'm enjoying being able to get into random areas of the literature during this break. I came across this editorial Psychiatry is the flagship of personalized and precision medicine: proposing an epistemic horizon to biological psychiatry and was intrigued. The main thrust of this editorial is to show that the field of psychiatric genetics has contributed tremendously to research in psychiatry, not so much by validating any disease entity, but by showing the complexity of the...
