I am proud to be studying with the canadians at my US school. It's great that both public and private schools judge students based on their merit not nationality. BUT I am frustrated with the fact that Canadian educational institutions in no way reciprocate such openness. For eg., even at my...

Respect for yr efforts and determination. You should apply to schools that have med sch & dental sch combined for the first two years (UCONN and Harvard). Hopefully they will look positively at your med sch record and also you might have a easier time while tackling the coursework. The more...

Just trying to get a sense of how full the incoming class is at BU and TUFTS. Also any interviews lined up by folks in the next four-five weeks at these schools?

Ho Endotom... I just started my dental program at UCONN. The program can be summed up by one word: INTENSE. It not just the fact that one has to concurrently do all the Medical school courses and dental school courses the first two years, but also that the school takes its ranking pretty...

As a D1 at UCONN, I wanted to share some quick first impressions (we have been in classes for 4+ weeks now)... 1. Really friendly people. 2. Super dedicated faculty. 3. Good inter-class interaction and mentorship. Ok now the part that I think all of you should think about seriously...

UCONN :)

Cancelled BU (12/17) and Tufts (12/11). Also withdrawing from all other schools (around 8).

My file has been complete at the Big H for almost 4 weeks now. Haven't heard a word... did anyone get a rejection after Dec 2 or an interview call? Also, if anyone can share their experience from last year's cycle in terms of when to expect a notification it be quite helpful.

This might not sound like much of advise but I realized during my practice exams that I JUST COULDN'T DO top-front-end and keyhole problems. Further for all the times I answered randomly (yeah completely random) I did no better than doing it with some kind if reasoning. So for my real DAT's I...
