    Is residency worth it?

    The way I look is totally different. For God sake what if something happens to you husband or what if your marriage ends at least you have a secured job after residency. May God give him long life and you both have a long life together. I think you should finish med school and then finish your...

    School List Advice, Low MCAT, Solid GPA, Reapplicant

    Try my school TUNCOM for DO. Just curious why MD when your MCAT is low unless you are minority?

    Tough decision

    First of all you just got an interview not an acceptance. I don't like to sugarcoat. Go for your interview and kill it and if you get an acceptance take it. 2 year master and tons of loans. Every year the medical school will be competitive not easier. First get into med school then think about...

    495 MCAT, where to apply

    My MCAT was <500 in 2015-2016 so after applying 2 cycles and rejected both times, I went to linkage program and accepted at the same school and graduated in 2022. I'm a 2nd year resident now...almost done with 2nd year. It's doable with linkage program if you have the passion. With 495 MCAT it...

    should I take the mcat a 4th time? looking for advice

    Are you out of your mind or what? If you were not able to hit 510 in 3 try's what magic will happen on 4th time? What if you score 500 on your 4th try? Add DO schools and try to get in. Maybe try scribe or MA kinda work or non-clinical. More hours look better. Apply on 1st day at least add one...

    If you hit MCAT high there can be wonders because your gpa is >3.0

    What are the best loan forgiveness offers you have seen for recent FM grads?

    I'm a 2nd year rural FM resident and my loans are piled up. I have no clue where I'm gonna go. I hope I'm going where loan forgiveness offered as part of my offer. I'm in CA.

    Have you re-taken your 1st year classes and converted into A/B? No LOR is not good. Hypothetical MCAT is not good either. Come back after MCAT score. All the best!!!

    low gpa options

    It's totally fine to take classes at community college for cost and the schools totally understand that but at the same time make sure shadow MD/DO and check all the other boxes. All the best!!!

    Anxious after DO interview

    Your stats looks good and I think you will hear good news soon. They are aware that candidate gets nervous and it's totally fine to think and pause for few sends before you answer. All the best!!

    School that is cheaper (>$110k) or my preferred school which is closer to family?

    Are you going to commute to KCU as that is 60min away or you are renting near KCU? so it is 1 hour vs 3 hours. Once you are in med school you need to focus on your study and if you are not commuting from home everyday go for the cheaper route.

    Help - Post Bac / Masters ETC

    When you are ready take MCAT and revisit here. Without MCAT it's hard to tell. Don't rush, one year is not going to make much difference. After you graduate you can still take some undergrad classes at community college to improve your GPA. How's your EC and shadowing? Maybe take a year off and...

    DO interview invites

    Don't agree with lot of people here. Took MCAT twice and got 498 in 2016/17 went thru SMP route. Never failed a class and or level 1/2/3 and I'm a 2nd year resident. I don't think MCAT is a good indicator.
