I found their website: http://www.uniteforsight.org

Here at Baylor, one of my friends started a chapter of something called Unite For Sight. I think he said it's a nonprofit that's all over the country. They do screenings for kids and adults and other ophtho-related stuff.

It's not 50, that's for sure. But you're MSTP. I'm talking about MDs

I personally know people who deferred from yale, so Silverman lied if he said ZERO people deferred this year. Essentially, you rejected Yale today. So that Yale could reject you, Silverman wanted to make you think you would have been rejected anyway, so it would seem like it was useless to...

How important is basic science research to match well in a competitive residency? Is clinical research just as good (or better) than basic science, or do people suggest basic science research too?

I disagree. 2)* I went to Mexico on a medial mission trip during my first year in college and I could elaborate on all the amazing experiences I had there and what I learned about the very essence of health care in its most simple form. #4. After my friend passed away, I started a job at a...

Since when does spiritual = altruistic? That is mind boggling. Everyone feels like they want to be a doctor for a reason, but the people in check with reality know that it's their own motivation, not a big guy in the sky telling them what to do. You know what's also mind boggling? A...

I don't understand this obsession with phar, but it is OBVIOUS that "realfriend" is phar. I am shocked other people have not realized this, and they're playing along to this "realfriend/phar" character. Why don't people just ignore him?

I got a 7 and I'm going to Baylor.

Is it listed as AP? If so, you don't have to include it.

Everyone else who takes AP classes lists the AP classes without a grade. I think AMCAS even directs you to not include a grade. Why don't you include the AP classes and not include the A/B/C grades?

Dave you said "About grade inflation--I just finished up my post-bacc science classes at a lowly community college. About 30%-40% of my calc-based physics class of 30-40 students got D's or F's. Apparently, that's quite typical. We don't have curves, we just have percentages of raw points...

Um, I never said that low caliber school students don't belong in top medical schools. All I said is the reason why med schools are filled with a lot of students from Ivy schools. it's because they had the brains and other stuff to get into the top colleges, and those same qualities are what...

You're fooling yourself if you actually believe that community college classes are the same difficulty or harder than Ivy league courses. Are you serious? My god! I took community college courses as a HIGH SCHOOL freshman and sophomore and got As in all of them. They were much easier than...

Your post is very dumb. A very high percentage of PhDs were people who couldn't get into medical school! So that in and of itself indicates that medicine is more difficult than sititng in a lab getting a PhD. The rest of the PhD lab researchers that I met have no social skills. They...
