Yea Foxy!! Good thing you didn't send that deposit in for the apartment in Chicago :) Have a great time at your #1!!!!!!!!!! :clap: :clap: <img...

If you're strong in chem and bio, it shouldn't be a very difficult combination for you. I'm sure you can handle the load. I took Organic with Genetics and Histology, and that was an adventure. I presume your classes are only going to get more advanced as you progress, so you might as well...

Glad to see you finally coming out of your shell Foxy <img border="0" alt="[Laughy]" title="" src="graemlins/laughy.gif" />

You've gotten good advice so far. Read complicated literature. Practice MCAT passages every day, and make sure that you practice under time restraints once you get used to the type of material they are testing you on. LSAT reading comprehension is useful, and I personally found that LSAT...

I think it depends on your degree program. There is calculus based classical physics, and then there's "conceptual physics" that a lot of life science majors take. If you go with classical physics...that is a whole different world from the other in terms of difficulty.

Derm is pretty competitive. There are many students who want to practice but aren't interested in crazy hours......derm is usually a chance to have an eight our day and have fun or be with the family.

I agree with the advice already posted. Since you're doing badly, it would look suspicious to opt for the JC route. Moo is onto something with the UC idea though. You could save some money and still get the credits from a well-recognized school. Good luck.

I'm doing three tough sciences at the moment. I wouldn't recommend it if you are heavily involved in work/ECs or like to maintain much of a social life. On the other hand, maybe those adcoms would like your "rigorous" schedule.

Here's something else to consider. I talked to a lady in UC admissions the other day, and she said to remember that even if you can apply for resident tuition the term you enter medical school, you will still be considered a non-resident during the applications process. I only have this from...

The Student Doctor Queen reings supreme!! :clap: Congratulations Foxy!

A 33 is a good enough score to match or exceed the average MCAT of most med school matriculants, but you should consider the caliber of school you anticipate attending. If I were in your position and interested primarily in top 20 schools, I would delay taking the test (if you genuinely believe...

Thanks for finding that info for us, very appreciative.
