Because we know that even if it's banned schools will continue to favor URMs

It doesn't come off as genuine. It really does show that it is a stepping stone. There's no doubt to anyone here you're passionate about patient care and that you need money, but it is also no doubt that being a nurse is not your ultimate goal. It's much better to work toward become a physician...

Do you want to be a doctor or do you want to be a nurse? I don't have a problem with someone from nursing learning they want to be a doctor, but I do have trouble when it comes someone using up a nursing spot during a shortage of nurses when their goal is not to be a nurse

Well, my firewall/anti-virus just gave me a threat warning by going into their .edu site, so I think I've grown more skeptical as we speak :lol: EDiT: They have a chiropractic college. This is a hard no for me. What next? Pre-reqs require Creation Science?

At what point is the profession going to decide to expand to reputable universities? D'Youville COM? Seriously?

You do understand that from the point of view of many doctors is that you'll encounter many things in medicine you don't like, and what that type of statement projects is that you won't put effort into those things? I don't have a dog in this fight. I'm just trying to help you understand how...

Bad take. Trying to say you were forced to get a degree due to immigration is not a good look. What will happen if you don't like your neurology block? You'll fail it?

Looks to me like a very clear link between ADHD and problems with your grades. That said, you should retake all the basic courses and prove you can do well. Your MCAT will make it or break it for you. Be very transparent about your journey in your personal statement. You can talk about your...

Sadly, I must agree. That's an MCAT score that simply raises red flags, and the fact that this person is not retaking, is another red flag when it comes to their judgment As for the list of schools, I can tell you that WesternU campuses definitely have a cutoff for what they're willing to...

If you live in an area where people with your ethnicity have a high percentage of the population, this may help as older people gravitate toward people of their same ethnicity. However, if it's the opposite, maybe don't gamble and find some neutral make like Lake Prairie Medical DPC

I don't want to get in the middle of what appears to be you guys having ticked off each other. However, i want to be objective. I think there is an expanding amount of DO students matching because the stigma is slowly fading. I know people whose parents were MDs in ophtho and other fields whose...

You're basically giving into your anxiety and seeking reassurance. Unfortunately, the best thing is to wait and see your score then come up with a plan

You need to decide if you want to be a doctor or if your priority is to have an MD after your name. So far you've wasted 2 years on the MCAT and will be losing another year applying. You could easily be an M-3 at this point in your life looking into what specialty and residency is right for you...

It makes me wonder how much it was used as a backup specialty by US grads, but also, you can't expect ACEP to be honest about it. They have to spin it for their benefit

Yes, too many of these attendings in fellowship treat the fellows like they're interns. It's not something I'd go back to
