FAER MSARF summer program - what are my chances?
Hi everyone!
Thank you for taking the time to read! I am an OMS-1 interested in anesthesiology. I am thinking about applying to the FAER MSARF summer research program. I was wondering if the program typically takes DO students. Would a low MCAT score affect my chances? I am in good academic standing at my medical school. I would appreciate any advice from previous applicants on how I can stand out in my application!
Thanks! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Medicine as career for your kids
My daughter is 17 and applying to college. For the longest time she was adamantly undecided on career. All of a sudden, not only is she saying she wants to go to medical school, she’s applying to an accelerated pre-med to MD program (7 years combined, med school acceptance guaranteed, no MCAT needed). Her GPA and SAT are very, very high.
I have never once told her to do Medicine and in fact have encouraged her to think widely about very diverse career options.
What should I tell her? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Advice please!!!
Hello,
I just need some advice.
I graduated undergrad spring 2022 with a 3.381 undergrad GPA as a molecular bio major. I'm URM (Mexican - Spanish is primary language), 25 y/o, and first-gen.
I applied this cycle to 18 MD schools with FAP, however, due to my MCAT score, I got screened out of the majority of my schools. I've currently only applied to Tulane, FSU, and working on UM secondary (got extension due to technical difficulties).
I'm also applying to at least 10 DO and that's also a...

WAMC - Nontrad Career Changer ~3.4 cGPA, ~3.6 sGPA 509 MCAT
Hello again, yall. Unfortunately the cycle has ended very unsuccessfully for me, with zero II. My best guess for this is that I hadn't completed enough science coursework for schools to be confident with my app. That should be fixed this time around with all of the prereqs under my belt and a couple of advanced classes planned for summer/fall. I'm also working on redrafting most of my secondaries and getting another round of edits on my primary. I felt confident with most of my writing, but...

What's the latest I can take the MCAT this year and still apply at the earliest possible time?
My GPA kinda sucks so I'm trying to apply as early as possible to give myself the biggest advantage I can. Right now my MCAT is scheduled for April 28th because applications are sent to medical schools late May. Is this the right move or can I delay it even more (I feel a bit behind on studying). Thanks!!

499 AAMC Diagnostic, 4/13 Test Date
Hey guys, just took my first diagnostic and got a 499 (123/129/123/124). My test date is on 4/13. Didn't really do any content review, just skimmed through the Bio and Gen Chem Kaplan books.
My goal is to get a 521+, what would you guys recommend I work on for the next 3 months/87 days? I think I can learn the material well, but I'm kinda worried about B/B and C/P passages. The standalones seemed straightforward, and I felt I could do them, but the passages I was totally lost on. Anyone got...
