Hi all,

I'm planning on applying for matriculation in 2017 with >3.9 cGPA/sGPA and a balanced 37 MCAT. Currently I attend a top CA public school and I'm trying to assemble a list of schools to apply to.

At time of applying I will have 3.5 yrs of research under my belt (hopefully with a 1st author publication), ~200 hours hospital volunteering, ~100 hours volunteering (30 hours with under-served communities), and a treasurer...

Hello,

It is my first semester in nursing school and I've come to realize med school is what I've always wanted. My gpa is high and shouldn't go down much after this semester (3.79). I failed a pass fail nursing school course for dosage. How will this affect me trying to go to med school? I intend to get an even higher gpa next semester by continuing with pre reqs, I'm involved, already have shadowing opportunities lined up, and plan on pursuing more leadership positions in what I'm...

Planning to apply this summer for the next cycle. Planning on graduating a semester late, possibly taking a 5th year if need be. If not, I'll be taking a "gap semester." Planning to apply for the HPSP.
  • 3.4 cGPA
  • 3.2 sGPA (AACOMAS)
  • 3.1 sGPA (AAMC)
  • NY Resident
These GPAs are based on AACOMAS what I'll most likely have at the time. Ideally, if all goes well... 3.45 cGPA, and a 3.29 sGPA (AACOMAS)...

Hi everyone, I just wanted to run this by you all in the hopes of figuring out how I could best improve my application over the rest of my sophomore year, and beyond. While I intend to gain more clinical volunteering hours, I’m not sure what else I should be doing. I also would like to know if I am competitive so far for regular admission to Florida schools such as UF, UCF, etc. I understand this could be difficult to measure without the MCAT. The reason I am posting this early is because I...

Hi there,

I'm looking to apply to medical school in 2 years (matriculating in 2018) and I'm starting to wonder which medical schools I should be looking at so I can address any particular requirements of certain schools before I graduate. Here's some information that might be relevant:

I'm a senior at a prestigious public university, but I'm an IL resident.
My undergrad GPA is about 3.8, sGPA is 3.78, but I'm still taking some tough science courses, so it could change in the next few...

My MCAT score is a 509, 80th percentile. I also got a 97th percentile on the bio section.
I have 450 volunteer hours at a home health clinic and 80 shadowing hours with a DO.
My GPA is terrible, 2.95 cumulative and 2.82 science. This is because of my first semester at college, I practically flunked every class. I'm in my senior year of undergrad and I'm doing well in classes so far. I don't think I'll get a seat in DO for Fall 2016. I did however, get an interview from American University...

I submitted my app (including all Evaluations, MCAT 507 and other stuff) a week ago. So it's verifying stage now for me - probably will take another 2-3 weeks at least. So schools will get my application only around early December. I just don't know if there is enough time for interviews left? It could happen that due to Christmas my interview may get scheduled on January-February? Do they even accept that late? I understand that deadline is officially at March-April for many schools, but...
