Discouraged- Course retakes.
Hey everyone, I've been retaking courses for grade replacement for a couple of semesters. For some of my retakes, I got an A- the second time around. My heart is so heavy right now, because I really thought I had a 4.0 this semester, but I got 2 A-'s instead. I'm wondering how this will be viewed by the admissions committees. I'll probably be applying to medical school with a GPA of 3.3-3.4. However, I have really good extracurriculars, and research publications from Yale on a topic in...

Love Reading: Should I Continue?
Hey guys.
So, I just finished my first semester of college pretty strong (thank God!). I have serious time management problems, but I still attempted things I thought unimaginable a year ago.
But, looking at my extracurricular life, I feel confused.
I mean, I joined one premedical club, but you know...such is the name for fundraiser organizations. So I got out of there. I also got in a Christian evangelist club (yeah, I am not Christian by the way because I really like learning about...

concerned about bad grad gpa - please advise and help me!
Please advise me - especially current medical students at top 25 schools
My undergraduate gpa at a top 3 school was 3.7/4.0 and I was a National Rhodes Scholar Finalist (triple major - social sciences)
Graduate gpa @ public health school (think Yale) was low... I got ill throughout the program and had to deal with health problems... however, I ended up finishing with A on my thesis that will soon be published!

Worth transferring from Columbia to Harvard?
To begin with, I am fully aware that I am in a very fortunate spot in life and I would emphasize that I am truly grateful for being where I am now.
I'm finishing up my first semester of college at Columbia and ended up doing very well despite going for a rather heavy course load. I matriculated at Columbia because it was my third choice and I was not admitted in the end to Harvard or Yale, my other top choices. I entered Columbia believing that I will stay here and have fun and grow as a...

Advice to round out application, 3.8/36
Looking for advice to round out my application going into secondaries/interviews. The advice I've gotten so far is that my research/teaching is top notch, but I need more unique volunteering to demonstrate compassion and something that makes me stand out. I just graduated undergraduate and am applying this cycle. My goal is to stay in California. I would take UCSD/UCLA/UCSF over Harvard/Yale/Hopkins any day.
cGPA/sGPA: 3.8
MCAT: 11/14 (bio)/11
Research: Research assistant in structural...

3.97 GPA, 520 MCAT--Where could I get a Scholarship
Hey all, I've been fortunate to get through 3 years with a good GPA and MCAT. My question is where could I get a scholarship with these stats?

A bit about me:
MCAT: 131 on 3 sections, 127 on Bio (I'm a bit worried that the Relatively low bio score will worry people since I'm a bio major. But also I still have most of my...
