Am I completely hopeless at science, or am I being overly dramatic?
I've never been good at STEM, but it has never shown up as much as it did in college.
I have around a 3.5+ science GPA from a "reputable" T15-T30 university, with the following specific grades.
And if I provided the name of where I went to school, you'd think "grade deflation omg" even though that is not an excuse for my terrible performance.
General Chemistry - A's in lecture and lab
Organic Chemistry - B- in lecture, A in lab
Math - B+'s in 3 calculus/statistics classes...

OMFS Fellowship Match statistics?
I understand this question is geared toward a small audience and may not get an answer here.
Any info on how match percentages for OMFS H&N fellowships? Can’t find any hard data on the AACMFS page.
Also, any advice on matching into one? At a program with minimal research activity, educational guidance or extracurricular community involvement available to participate in. Aka, pretty difficult to beef up a resume. (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Are my chances to be a doctor over because of my IA?
Hey guys,
This is my first post on here and I'm only doing this because I feel like I have no other outlet/ place to ask for help.
Just for some background, l'm a senior right now at a T20 undergrad university (according to US News so take that as you wish). I'm studying Sports Medicine, Biochemistry, and Statistics. I have a 3.96 overall GPA (B+ in Orgo I/II and a W for Orgo II during the summer, the rest are all A’s) 514 MCAT, as well as 5 publications, good research in a cancer lab...

Do prerequisite classes from undergrad 10+ years ago still count?
I was in under between 2013 to 2016 and took statistics and psychology/humanities courses. Given how long ago those were, will med schools still consider them when I apply in 2025? (Source: Student Doctor Network)

Question about statistics requirement
Hi there, I am a non-traditional student changing careers. I had a quick question about fulfilling the statistics requirement.
Here's the rundown:
I have taken Calculus I and Calculus II.
I have also completed a SMP (at a medical school). I took Biostatistics as a part of my Master's program.
Do you guys think that my Master's course in Biostatistics, or my Calculus II, would complete the Statistics requirement?
I know my master's program accepted me...

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)

Is there a path/chance for me to med school? 25M, Tech, Low Undergrad GPA
Hello all,
Basically am just asking if it is even possible for me to consider getting into med school at my age + statistics?
25M, Currently work in FinTech as a Software Engineer for a major company, it's not FAANG but anyone within the financial sector would immediately know what it is. I originally started out as Pre-Med when I was 18 but I was a very immature kid, I partied constantly, smoked weed all the time, and joined some social organizations that absolutely killed my mental...
