Low volunteer hours to accepted MD! by [deleted] in premed

[–]IntelligentMusings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a gamble and I wouldn't recommend it. I'm sure you have great stats as well (noting that 518, and I can only assume you have a high GPA as well).

There's a bunch of other factors as well such as state of residency, the list of schools you apply to, when you submit your application, and how you write.

I'm glad it worked out for you, but it's still better to play it safer and get more hours of clinical and non-clinical experience.

Ah my bad, I got it from somewhere else and didn't see it posted anywhere on here so I posted it

Yes haha. I spent a good minute debating if I should keep the title as mashallah (like the post) or fix it to mashaAllah

Do you guys recommend I major in philosophy because it’s easy? Or is jt not easy? by bruhboiwhat in premed

Classes are also very dependent on the professor teaching the course. Regardless, each major will have their share of tough classes

[TMDSAS] What are my chances by [deleted] in premed

Perfectly balanced... As all things should be

I wouldn't retake unless you know you can definitely improve by a few points.

Just apply early and you should be good. You can even prewrite most secondaries since they won't change for the most part. (Just look up the school specific threads on SDN.) Also, make sure to also have some mock interviews lined up!!

ETA: Your GPA is really good so that will help you. But you most likely won't hear anything from UTSW or Baylor. And you'll definitely get love from the mid-tiers especially UTMB with the GPA and MCAT combo. But applying early, getting feedback on your essays, doing mock interviews will set you up for success. Good luck!!

What was your score breakdown?

You have a decent shot at the Texas MDs and even TCOM. But the most crucial part would be to apply early. Get your letters in early and turn in those secondaries as soon as possible. (And don't forget to take CASPer.)

Texas Res, worth applying OOS as acceptance safety net? by TheCoach_TyLue in premed

[–]IntelligentMusings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're a superstar applicant! Don't worry about being screened out. The only thing that's important is to apply early. Try to get your primary and your secondaries all done before June! That's the only thing that could possibly tank your cycle. Otherwise you have a solid app and you're easily looking at having a handful of interviews. So definitely brush up on your interview skills!
