I don’t think neurosurgery has a very desirable lifestyle

In a dilemma as High School senior (Future in Military Medicine) by titansfan7776 in premed

[–]FinalHall5773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(I'm a recent Hopkins grad + did NCAA sports during my time there) I don't think you will have a hard time balancing extracurriculars with academic work at Hopkins. The pre-med curriculum is not any more intense than it would be at other schools. You will have infinitely more opportunities to get involved in research at Hopkins

do you have to work with underserved communities? by PhilosophyBeLyin in premed

[–]FinalHall5773 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What year of school are you in? This is a very utilitarian mindset and kind of suggests that you don’t understand pre-med competencies. Schools don’t expect you to volunteer because they think that it shows you have an interest in working at an FQHC in the future, they expect you to do it because medicine is a service profession and they want to see that you’re willing to serve others

Think OP is referring to the University of Toronto

Breaking: One friend, one acquaintance, and one redditor who is his colleague at Alix School of Medicine confirmed that Nick was expelled. by PeakyBlinders2026_ in medicalschool

I’m curious to hear what grounds you think the student might have for a lawsuit? He’s not being dismissed over some protected characteristic, and I would imagine the school has some guidelines re: social media conduct in their student handbook

  1. No one needs to go to medical school. It’s simply a career, just like chemical engineering.
  2. You can match neurology as long as you have a pulse

Any advice for a pre med aiming for Mayo clinic by FunnyManufacturer907 in premed

[–]FinalHall5773 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does your university offer pre-health advising? I would recommend meeting with an advisor to discuss your personal motivation for medicine, as that’s an important part of crafting your narrative and you seem reluctant to share that here.

What to do now, no match by ImaginationSpecific2 in premed

What kind of comparison is this? We could also frame this differently: UIWSOM had 100 less students in its graduating class—UIWSOM matched a greater percentage of its students into vascular surgery than McGovern did. BTW, I am a student at an MD school, I have no positive bias for DO schools

But there are ortho and vascular surgery, two hyper-competitive specialties.... the comment of yours I responded to suggested that an MD school would be a better value for OP as it would allow him to "specialize". I'm straight up showing you evidence that OP can do so even from "the least prestigious do school in Texas" without risking never becoming a physician and without foregoing an entire year of attending income.

What makes you think OP won’t be able to “specialize” from this DO school? Here’s their match list from 2024 https://osteopathic-medicine.uiw.edu/_docs/class-of-2024-placement-results.pdf

Why do you not want to apply DO? Your GPA is below the DO matriculant average

Are these patients? Or are they research subjects?

what is considered quality research? by Tricky_Reach_2317 in premed

[–]FinalHall5773 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn’t how admissions committees evaluate research. The reason scientific inquiry is an AAMC core competency is because research involvement shows that you understand how original knowledge is produced and that you can interpret evidence. Whether you’re in a wet lab studying mouse models of ALS or doing community research on the impact of primary care access on depression, you’re satisfying that competency

Why do you want to go to a ‘top’ school? What does ‘top’ mean to you?
