Need some advice on pre-med requirements.
Here is where I am at right now:
Associates of applied science degree
GPA: 3.94
Bachelors of Arts degree
GPA: 3.72
I still need my required pre-med classes. Would you suggest taking them at a community college or going the non-degree student route at the University of Washington?
I understand that the requirements will take me roughly 1-2 years to fulfill with work and school, but I am curious about what you believe would be the best route.
Would it also be in my best interest to get...

University of Washington Residency thoughts
Hi all,
Anybody have any informed thoughts or reviews on the current UW EM program? The rank list deadline is coming up and as much as I loved the people, program and the city during my interview day, I still have a few concerns (that may or may not be legitimate) that haven't been addressed. I haven't seen much said about the program on here, so any thoughts from people in the know (UW students, current residents, etc) would be incredibly helpful for me in finalizing my rank list.

Premed Undergrad - UW or Brown?
Hi guys!
I'm a senior in high school, and after a lot of consideration, I've narrowed down my top choices for colleges to the University of Washington and Brown University.
I'm hoping for an environment that is competitive, but not too cutthroat, and I've heard that the curves in STEM classes at UW create a really toxic environment and almost certainly would result in a lower GPA. However, Brown is known for grade inflation, so would a high GPA at Brown still be worth the same as a lower...

What should I do during medical school to improve my chances?
Hi all!
I am starting medical school in the fall, and I am really interested in becoming a psychiatrist. I would ideally like to match into a competitive psychiatry residency (Ex: Yale, University of Washington, etc.) and I am hoping to get some advice from others that are more experienced than myself. My main question is, what can I do during medical school to make sure that I am a great applicant for these types of residencies? So far, I have a first-authored publication about autism in a...
