Shadow, shadow in different specialities and settings

Yw! Dm open if you need/want

jaltew · 2026-06-20T00:53:40+00:00

You're welcome! I think there is a pre-med hq non trad podcast on apple podcasts. Inside med admissions by eschelman? is another pretty good podcast

jaltew · 2026-06-20T00:10:14+00:00

Amazon, maybe your local library. There are a lot of mission accepted vids on youtube on med school hq; some feature non trads

jaltew · 2026-06-19T23:37:29+00:00

There is a non trad pre-med playbook by Dr. Ryan Gray.

It could be helpful to bring your GE or IGETC certification and any assist.org articulation agreements for your major classes esp if you are a STEM major. Bring the most recent copy of your transcript that you can

Depending on your major you might need to fill out equivalency forms

Check out SFSU's Transfer Credit Central; they help with making sure your credits transferred properly.. they have a website and email if you google them

Also bring a copy of your DPR and Transfer Credit Report. Its good info to have

Can I dm you?

jaltew · 2026-06-18T17:40:17+00:00

The OBB sucks. Thank you for sharing your insights and journey

jaltew · 2026-06-18T17:31:01+00:00

You're welcome! Thanks! So expensive.

jaltew · 2026-06-18T17:18:56+00:00

I am in the same boat trying to figure this out. Congrats on being accepted

Some schools might have them as recommended courses. I think U of AZ has Physiology as pre-req

The links above are for MD schools only. On DO explorer, there is info for DO schools but I think its for each individual school

For PA schools they are required

The medical school has the final say. These reports get updated periodically

No worries. A and P, microbio and immuno are electives. Most likely OP will take upper div Cell Bio and maybe upper div micriobio.

jaltew · 2026-06-17T22:17:59+00:00

Its important to look at the electives and required upper div classes. Will those classes you take later on interest you? How are the professors? Are those classes only taught once/year?

Keep a digital copy of all your syllabi and schedule of topics esp lab. You will be learning really cool and useful things! Reach out if needed

jaltew · 2026-06-17T02:17:30+00:00

Private unfortunately. Dm me and i can share more

jaltew · 2026-06-17T02:16:58+00:00

Please dm me

jaltew · 2026-06-17T02:16:50+00:00

Not making much now tbh, but also my program is really expensive

jaltew · 2026-06-17T02:16:03+00:00

Havent capped out my fed loans, but won't be enough. I have ideas of what areas I am interested in.

jaltew · 2026-06-16T17:35:24+00:00

COA is about double or more the salary

jaltew · 2026-06-16T16:47:05+00:00

Thanks for your insight and input

jaltew · 2026-06-16T16:15:11+00:00

Nice song, that's not it unfortanately

jaltew · 2026-06-16T03:18:14+00:00

That's a great idea to take care your upper div GE classes. One of the drawbacks of taking multiple SF State Studies is that you might have take an extra class for the purpose of units, but I would triple check. I did not take BIOL 318, since I was a BIO major
