Are you able to become a vet with only a biology degere?
Hi, I'm about to attend college in January, however, I want to make sure I have everything set before attending. I have researched an in-state college that offers a biology course. On their website, it says "In all of its forms, from the molecular level to the whole organism, studies in biology create opportunities that prepare students for a full range of professions. A degree in biology also prepares graduates to pursue other academic interests like med school, pharmacology or veterinary...

Should I try to go to med school?
I've lurked here for a month or two now, but just opened an account. I hope it's okay if I ask a question that seems to get asked a lot. My question is whether you'd go back to med school if you were me?
I'm 41, graduated from UC Berkeley, molecular and cell biology major, did all my pre-med prerequisites back then, 3.9 GPA (both science and overall GPA). I did some research in oncology as an undergrad and even had a small publication. When I graduated, start-ups and the internet in general...

Help me figure out which schools to apply to? (High MCAT, low uGPA)
Hello everyone. So I am re-applying to medical school this year after not casting nearly a wide enough net last year. I am a non-traditional student with a master's degree in molecular biology. My graduate GPA was a 3.9. I now work full-time as a researcher.
My undergraduate GPA was a 2.7, unfortunately, due to significant and weird circumstances which I have thoroughly explained in my personal statement. I just took the MCAT this year and got a 516.
Here is a list of the schools that...

Nucleic acids, proteins, and molecular cloning lab: Biology or Chemistry to AMCAS?
I'm trying to decide if I've met the biology lab requirements for med schools and I'm unsure how the AMCAS will classify the above class. They say that biochemistry is under chemistry while molecular biology is under biology, but this class straddles the two. Having taken the class, it's most molecular biology (making plasmids, running agarose gels, PCR, etc.), but I'm worried the AMCAS will disagree. What does everyone think? Thank you!
