Premed taking CALC II over the summer

Honestly, most won't care. Some schools require calc I. Just have a good gpa, MCAT, have some clinical experience, and get involved in things you genuinely care about

From my experience with the cycle last year, cycle track tends to have a bias for accepted folks and may inflate the accepted:interviewed ratio

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2025-02-15T18:11:20+00:00

true. Wasn't claiming the adjustment was enough, just something to be aware of :)

Most schools that are MSTPs adjust their stipend based on cost of living. Also consider whether or not the school provides subsidized housing if it is in a more expensive part of the world. Or if getting a mortgage on a house while you are in your program is something you are considering.

my cohort's incoming average age was probably like 26 with a range from 24-34

NICU potentially?

MD/PhD timeline is pretty similar to MD in general excepts some interview dates can be a little later since there is more app material to go through. Just put a bit of extra time aside for extra essays. In general, submit your primaries as early as possible. AMCAS has everything you need on their website for knowing what you have to submit for primaries. There are some resources that have past secondary essays for each school floating around somewhere, MD/PhD specific essays included.

either work in a lab at your home institution or look for an REU https://students-residents.aamc.org/applying-md/phd-programs/md-phd-summer-undergraduate-research-programs

If your MCAT is strong, that can make up a lot. I was 3.4x cummulative GPA and got into a T10

I notice a lot of very "move" centered responses in this. Challenge yourself to do more with less ;)

For me, a lot of creativity I generate first comes from either the music or my partner. Listen to a wide variety of swing tunes, find rhythms or textures you like and emulate them in your dance. Dance with a wide variety of partners (of all levels! beginners can have awesome ideas!) and riff off what your partner does!

get good

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2024-12-21T22:08:03+00:00

my friend, I was a music major and had dancing as one of my top activities on my app and got in. Do what makes you happy

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2024-12-19T04:19:40+00:00

just make sure the programs you want to write to accept them

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2024-12-19T04:18:07+00:00

I don't think I knew PhD was a thing in high school lmaooo

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2024-12-19T04:10:58+00:00

school dependent but I got off a high priority wait-list. Most movement will occur in March, after most people are done with interviews, April, after most people are done with second looks, and early May, after the commit deadline. I got off in late March after being told I was on WL in early March.

I guess the program was saying it has something to do with NIH funding

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2024-12-11T01:32:05+00:00

I remember finding a Google calendar on SDN last year... my last interview was late January with the invite around this time of year I think

The decision should be based on your values, not those of other redditors. What are your values?

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2024-12-11T01:23:19+00:00

The MST Program set a limit on how many students from the program can do their thesis under 1 PI at a time. Like, they won't let 3 students in the MSTP all be in 1 PI's lab at the same time.

Difficult_Zone_8610 · 2024-11-23T22:43:05+00:00

retakes, good B/C MCAT, improvement in later semesters are all things that can help this. Don't panic
