ECFMG certification
Hello! I am a board-certified family medicine doctor from outside of the US. For the past six years, I have been working in a microbiology lab in the US (postdoc, project scientist with MD PhD degrees), which means I have not been practicing medicine during this time.

Question regarding Post-bacc and GPA
So I messed up in 5 classes during my undergrad. I earned a C- in Physics 2. D in Gen Chem 2. C in Bio 2. I failed Biochem and Anatomy due to family emergency.

I plan to take an additional course which I haven't before (Microbiology). I'm confident that I will ace these courses since I have already seen the course material before and that I have studied...

Questions about informal post bacc through community college (1st semester)
Hi everyone, so just a little background: I’m doing an informal post bacc. My plan is to take anatomy and microbiology for the first semester. After the first semester, I’m going to move onto a four-year college and take full courses on my plate. The cc is necessary at the moment for financial purposes
But in the application, it tells me to declare an anticipated course of study. I don’t want to declare anything because I don’t want them telling me what courses to take. It does not even...

WAMC - 518, 4.0, rural state resident
May have tweaked a couple details for privacy, but the general idea is still the same. I do know that I have decent stats, but looking at MSAR, the greatest hurdle for me is that MOST competitive schools don't accept students from the Idaho/Wyoming/Dakotas region. So WAMC please?
