Looking for advice
Panicking a lot … I want to apply in May for the next med school cycle. I graduated college this past May with an undergraduate GPA of a 3.0 and a science gpa of a 2.9. I originally went to a different college and got my associates with a 3.6 gpa. After two years, I transferred to a university during covid. My first semester at the new university did not go well as I ended the semester with a 2.5 gpa. Afterwards, I worked hard to get my gpa up and had to end up staying an extra year which...

Do pre reqs expire?
I am soon to start taking all the science pre reqs as a career changer 4 years out of school. I passed ap Calc test in high school and also took a semester of calc my first year in college in 2015.
I plan on taking statistics in addition to the science reqs. Would my calc class still be counted or is it too long ago?
Thanks, (Source: Student Doctor Network)

WAMC non-trad 23-24 cycle
I'm a non-trad 23-24 cycle applicant applying to all southern CA MD schools (I know that's not recommended and very risky, but I have to stay in this area for personal/family reasons). I just earned my PhD in Translational Science field (graduating in Dec) and also have a masters in Regulatory Science, both from School of Pharmacy at University of Southern California (USC).
Why MD? To put it very very shortly, I want to work more directly with patients and bridge the gap between benchside...

Why is Casper even a thing?
I’d love to see the science they used to validate the thing. It feels entirely like the creation of HR busy bodies that need to justify their positions within the bureaucracy. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

WAMC for Post Bacc? Non-Traditional
I'm in a bit of a special situation here. A compound of many things
Went to college for Economics, GPA 3.4. Figured out I want to become a vet a couple months before graduation. Applied to Tufts' post bacc program and got rejected. Now 26, working in corporate America, and rethinking my career.
Took 1 semester of chemistry and 1 semester of physics while working. No science class from college. Now considering pursuing school full time to get my pre reqs faster.
Experience:
200 hrs...

Self-paced online Biochemistry
I was wondering if the various self-paced online Biochemistry courses are legitimate to fulfill dental school prerequisites. I Google searched "online biochemistry course" and found online courses from places such as:
Doane University
Berkeley Extension
Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Science
and others
I'm thinking about doing the Massachusetts one because they have a 50% off deal. (Source: Student Doctor Network)
