What would you do?
If you are a floater and get a script for norco, xanax, and soma, you see it’s been filled before. Would you fill it? You don’t want to lose a customer but you also don’t want to hurt the patient or get in trouble (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Should I retake the MCAT before my interviews?
So I have practicing CARS for almost a month now, and I have been considering taking the MCAT again. I currently have an interview at ACOM and ATSU-SOMA, and am STILL waiting on the Touros. My #1 school is Touro-CA which I know is going to be difficult for me to get an interview with my MCAT score of 502 (126-124-126-126), and my GPA of 3.21.
Do you think it is stupid for me to consider taking the MCAT again and improving my chances of getting an interview at Touro-CA, or do you think it's...

Is it too late to apply with my stats??
Hi everyone,
Is it too late to apply to these DO schools as an URM with a 3.36 sGPA, 3.4 GPA and a 496 MCAT? I'm rewriting in January 2018, shadowing two DOs in December, currently have 100 clinical volunteering hours, 112 paid clinical working hours (front desk of medical clinic), 400+ community volunteering hours, and 32 MD shadowing hours.

PNWU vs SOMA vs TUNCOM
I have been accepted into SOMA and got my top choice site which is D.C. I have interviews and PNWU and TUNCOM in November in December. I am kind of already set on SOMA because I really think I will like their curriculum and CHC. Am I making a mistake by not going to the other two interviews?
Also, does anyone have any info on the quality of residencies at SOMA? Right now I'm mainly thinking of neurology, psychiatry, or primary care which if I understand correctly, aren't super competitive. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Touro Nevada (TUNCOM) vs. ATSU-SOMA
Hello all!
I was recently accepted to Touro Nevada and I absolutely loved the school during my interview, especially given that it's close to home in Los Angeles. However, I have an interview at ATSU-SOMA in Arizona next week and I'm debating whether to attend or not. Can anyone give me pros and cons of SOMA? I've heard mixed reviews about the clinical sites during 2nd year. SOMA is also close to home and pretty comparable in tuition as well.
Thank you! (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Help deciding which schools to interview at
Okay, so I am currently blessed with 11 interviews, but I cannot go on all of them. How many do you SDNers think I should eliminate? I'm thinking I should really just attend 6 at most? Will you guys help me out? I'm a CA resident and would like to stay in CA. Other than that, location (want to stay in the west coast), tuition, and quality of curriculum are important to me. Thanks!
Here's my list of interviews so far:
LECOM
ATSU SOMA
CUSOM
NSUCOM
AZCOM
Western U COMP
KCUCOM
Touro-CA...

Would you fill these rxs?
Hi everyone,
Would you question/fill these rxs?
Scenario 1: Only medications on file are ambien cr 12.5 mg (#90), norco 10 mg (#180) and soma 350 mg (#120). They are all written by the same doctor.
Scenario 2: Is prescribed soma 250mg and oxycodone 15 mg (#120) from the same doctor, who is a visiting physician (i.e sees patients at their homes.)
Scenario 3: Fills methadone 10 mg (#320)- prn dosing and klonopin 1 mg monthly. They're both written by the same doctor, an internist. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Interview Dilemma
Hi everyone!
I hope you're all doing well and you application cycle is successfully. I've run into a bit of dilemma concerning interviews.
So I'm a NY resident, and I applied almost everywhere given my relatively low MCAT score (502). I'm starting to get interviews from places in the midwest like Des Moines and ATSU-SOMA, but I've been told that I should hold off on interviewing there until I hear back from schools that around me (NYCOM, Rowan, VCOM, etc.). I know that the longer that I...

Additional DO School Suggestions?
Asian, CA-Resident, 3.4 cGPA, 2.9 sGPA, 508 MCAT. Solid extra curriculars and will be getting my MPH next year.
I applied to 8 schools earlier (AZCOM, ATSU-SOMA, BCOM, LMU-DCOM, MU-COM, NSUCOM, LECOM-PA, and Touro-CA) and am now beginning to feel that I maybe should have done more.
1. What are my chances at the 8 I applied to?
2. Should I go back and apply to more? (money isn't a big issue)
3. Which schools should I add? (Bearing in mind my stats and that I can't get a DO letter at this...

DO School List with my Stats
Hey everyone!
It'd be awesome if y'all could take a look at my list. Any suggestions to add or remove schools would be much appreciated!
CA Resident. Asian. 3.65 cGPA at UCSD
1st MCAT: 498 (123/123/128/124)
2nd MCAT: 503 (128/122/128/125) I was doing much better on practice tests (505-508) so this surprised me. I really don't want to retake.
