Question abou Pre-Med Requirements
Published (2009-11-14 17:45:00)
You aren't obliged to complete all the prerequisites before schools will consider you, but you must complete them before your beginning the first day of med school. However, in order to do well on the MCAT most people do complete those required courses before attempting to take the test. A few applicants have reported that they taught themselves the second semester of physics. Were you thinking of doing that? If you wait to take the MCAT...

J DUB: Thanks Quote: Well, it's nice to hear an honest statement. But I still find it hard to believe that you can't find one EC that you enjoy. Still, it's not up to me to judge your motivations, so I'll just tell you that the average clinical volunteer EC is around 1-2 years, 3-4 hours a week. There's no magic number, though. I really wouldn't recommend doing research if you hate it, although maybe do a few...

So in general I should aim for 150 hours of volunteer and 80 hours of doctor shadowing? I'm planning on shadowing a D.O. in family practice and an M.D. in Orthopedic Surgery. Is there a certain number of doctors that I should shadow that would look good, or the more the merrier?

Yeah, like I said before, I thought I would have heard something from FSU by now since I seem to match up pretty well with that school.

FSU is a bit strange because being complete early does not necessarily mean an earlier interview. Don't fret. I think FSU only interviews about 4 people at each session. That is pretty small compared to other schools, I think. Congrats on interviewing at UCF! Hang in there! Once again, I am cheering you on!

what do you mean by "late"? Do you mean secondaries in by Sept/Oct? or AMCAS just recently submitted? It depends on what the EC is and what is already on your app.

We'd need detailed information about your ECs. Maybe you were lacking in an area a school considered important. Your numbers are so strong, that would be my first suspicion. Were your LORs strong? Did you blow the interviews? Were there any red flags on your transcript, like lots of Ws? Also, it isn't over yet. You may yet hear from your favorite school. And why be "worried"? No matter ...

A 2 on the verbal and you're aiming for a 4 or 5? What's going wrong there? You need to get an 8 or a 9 in verbal and should be able to with practice. Everything else looks fine but I would seriously work hard to get a 27+ on that MCAT then your will be fine for DO schools. Get a copy of Kaplans MCAT prep or Examkrackers Verbal.

Psychiatric records and other medical records cannot be released without the patient's written consent. I was never asked about my past medical history. I was never asked to release old records. If you refer to medical issues in your personal statement or essays, it is your choice as to how explicit you wish to be. If you mention it, it does open the door to questions by an interviewer, but ...

As far as I know, ochem lab isn't required to apply, just to matriculate. But you should have your non-lab prereqs completed before you take the MCATs for sure.

If you do very well in all of your other pre-reqs and take a couple of upper division bio courses, one C isn't going to destroy your chances. Just know that if you get this one C, you will need to get A's in your other science courses to make up for it. Is there a reason you're doing so poorly? Study habits? Or do you not understand the material? A lot of what you see in Bio I will apply in ...

First, you need to get volunteering with some patient contact and raise that GPA. DO is your best shot.....grade replacement and lower stats.

Well, you might be getting sunk by the shadowing or, more likely, you have a poor LOR or essay on your file. It might also have been your PS. I know you said you had people edit it, but did they edit it with what constitutes a good med school PS in mind, or were they just trying to ferret out mechanical issues? Assuming you have a couple of rejections, you might call the schools that rejected you...

I have seen folks get in places with your combo 40/3.3. I am more concerned with the ECs...especially the volunteering. I think you need to get somewhere and do 3-4hrs a week until you apply. Schools like to see a continous effort; not just the summer. Also, get that GPA as high as you can!!
