The principal purpose of students would be to take admission medical school. The study of medical is quite costly. Consequently every students who crave to study of medical they want extra dollars. If the students have excellent credit history, the money is possible everywhere, and if the students have horrific credit history, the money is really a terrific distance far away. That’s why the horrific credit students don’t fulfill their vision. In that mean time cash is obtainable for the horrific credit students. They can get the cash by way of Medical School Loans which are readily available online with numerous lenders. They often ready to assist the borrowers to offer money in their horrific condition. These kind of loans do not have to scan the credit rating. As a result Medical School Loans are really suited for everyone. Medical School Loans are the combination of Student loans consolidation that offers medical school loan. The Medical School Loans program provides all-inclusive funding for all your medical school expenses by way of Medical School Loans. Very frequently scholarships and Medical School Loans are not enough to wrap the true price of medical school.

Hi guys,

I’m currently a pre-med sophomore working on bachelors of science in Honors Biology (not as a tool to get into medical school but because I truly love it) with University Honors as a Co-Major. I have a 4.0 GPA, taken 26 Honors credits and 49 total credits so far….From the Math and Science I’ve taken:

Honors Biodiversty
Honors Cell Biology
Honors Microbiology
General Chemistry
Genetics
Honors Physics 1
Statistics

More to come as the winter semester starts…..I volunterred a total of about I think 60 hours at children’s hospital all summer, both in the playroom and bedside.

I’ve worked on two research projects, one as part of class in the emergency department and another on my own which isnt related to medicine at all and is more of history thing.

I’m hoping to volunteer in one of my professors lab this winter semester so that in the Summer I can hopefully start my own science research project.

I’m in a few clubs as school but honestly I don’t keep in touch at all…

So far…what do you guys think I’m on the right track? I’m worried my volunteering and clubs wont be enough for medical school admissions so I was hoping to get some feedback..Thanks

As a senior in high school who knows that he wants to become a doctor, I have a question about medical school admissions. Would a medical school prefer an undergraduate student who earned around a 3.5 at Duke or a 3.9 at Iowa? I realize that there are many critical factors besides GPA that go into the admissions process, but I am just wondering.
Also, if you said "Duke" as the answer for the question above, I have another question. My dad says that, for example, Iowa medical school would prefer the 3.9 at Iowa over 3.5 at Duke just because the undergraduate student went to Iowa originally. Is that true? Any help would be nice. Thanks.

do medical school admissions committees view clinical research the same way they view laboratory/basic science research? is one better than the other?

I wrote this as a letter to a couple of medical schools, and haven’t got responses, maybe you guys can help…

I am attending college online, at ___________________, which is regionally accredited.
You may ask why online, but I am a full time father, who works full time. My wife is also going to school online, and by the time she finishes, I would be looking for medical school admissions. So at the current time online is my only option.

I am a History major, but I have taken, and plan to take several Science electives. My college does not offer Inorganic Chemistry, and Bio II, but I believe we have classes that may substitute. The other problem is my classes are half semester classes.

Here is what I am taking and plan to take:

Introduction to Biology with lab
Intro to Microbiology
Introduction to Chemistry with lab
Introduction to Human Anatomy and Physiology with lab
Intro to Physics with Lab
Intro to Human Genetics
Advanced Human Anatomy
General Psychology

If I pass with at least a B for each of these classes, what classes would I still need to take.
I can also take Calculus and additional Physics if needed, and if I really had to I could pick up some additional classes at a Community College.

Aside from academics, If I had good MCAT scores, recommendations, volunteer experience, etc., would I be considered a candidate for admissions for Medical School, or would I probably be "laughed out of the water".

I want you to be honest with me now, so I can work on the problems now.

Help Please. I know you guys aren’t medical school reps, but maybe you might know.

Thanks

Ryan

This was originally my 1st topic: I was going to write about how my mother suffered from manic depressive illness(bi-polar disorder) and refused to take her medication,and as a result of that one night, she almost stabbed me to death with a steak knife. I was going to tie this into my essay by saying that the reason I want to be a doctor is to help people like my mom , so no ones family has to go through what we had to go through.(this is true by the way, I’m not just saying this to get me in) However, because my mom suffered from a mental illness I don’t want the medical school admissions committee to think I’m "crazy" as well, because these type of things run in families, and they want to make sure that applicants are mentally stable, and I’m afraid that even though my experience is true, it might give off a bad impression. So, that’s why I thought of a 2nd topic: In high school a few years ago, my best friend was taking diet pills that contained epherdra(don’t know if its spelled right). But I knew they were banned in the U.S. because of them being linked to strokes,seizures, and cardiac arrest. I couldn’t let my friend do something so dangerous to herself , so I went and told her mom, and she ended up in the hospital, because she was seriously ill. After that she wasn’t my friend anymore, but I didn’t care because I’m glad she’s okay.

I’m only 17, so I know its kind of early to be writing my essay , but which topic should I pick? the 1st or 2nd?

I got an invitation in the mail to join a greek honors society called sigma alpha lambda. The fee I have to pay to join is .00. Would joining help in medical school admissions?

I’m a ME major doing premed. Obviously I need a good GPA to get into MEd school but I want to know if admissions takes into account your major and how rigorous the coursework is. I’m a sophmore atm and I’m getting worried that I won’t be able to get a 3.5+gpa now that classes like Thermal Science and historically tough classes are coming up (my advisor said the drop/fail rate was around 50-60%…). Help me out, will Medical School admissions take into account the kinds of classes I’m taking for my major compared to others.
If they don’t take this into account, I’m sure I can easily get 3.7+ in a non engineering major.

I’m not sure what I want to major in, but I do know that I’d like to apply to medical school in several years, possibly specializing in psychiatry or neurology after the attainment of my MD.

Problem is, I always had a hard time when it came to the more scientific classes in high school. Chemistry was arcane, math was boring, and physics was something you couldn’t even pay me to go near. It’s not that I’m a particular bad student, or that I couldn’t understand the course matter – whenever I paid attention in class, any class, I’d ace everything. I guess saying that I had a hard time *paying attention* in scientific classes would be more accurate.

I’m fine with subjects such as psychology, sociology, and English. I’m very good at them, too, without trying… Because I find them interesting, I do so much reading and research on the side that I always know everything in class before it’s taught. I mean, I was raised to love reading. I was going through Michael Crichton books in Kindergarten while other kids were struggling through Peter Rabbit.

But my parents never put much emphasis on science, or on math. I’m worried, and not sure exactly what I should do when it comes time to fulfill my premed requirements.

Should I major in psychology (which I’m very interested in, but is considered by medical school admissions to be a very "easy" major), and then wing it with another major such as physiology or biology? Maybe throw in a couple of required calculus courses on the side? I don’t know.

I’d just like some advice on what would be a good subject to major in aside from psychology, preferably one that fulfills a good deal of the "premed requirements". I really, really don’t want to do chemistry or anything like that.

I’m interested in the body and the brain. I’m not the best at visualizing biological processes, but I can manage if need be. I’ve lately taken an interest in quantum physics, minus the math. Science is cool, but it’s a recent interest, and my knowledge-base is relatively small compared to other areas.

What should I do? I’m honestly at a loss. I know it seems silly for somebody who isn’t a big fan of math or science to want to become a doctor, but it’s the only thing I’ve considered for the last couple of years, the only thing that actually interests me. Unlike other areas of academia, I truly have a passion for it. I started volunteering at a hospital while I was still in high school, I’m trying to get another volunteer position in a psychiatric ward and I’m thinking of starting up an organization for, uh, psychologically oppressed teenagers.

I love learning about the brain, and I love learning about human behavior, which is why I’ve decided on psychiatry.

Hate to reiterate, but I’m at a loss. What can I do, in terms of a college major, that I’d be good at and that would help me with my premed requirements?

Agggh. I’m not asking for people to make a decision for me, I’m asking for suggestions. Anything is appreciated, believe me!
Thanks for the answers, guys.

I’ll consider what everybody has said, but I’m pretty sure I’d like to do a double major. I know it’ll take up a lot of my free time, but a lot of my friends have done, or are in the process of completing either double or triple majors. One of my best friends is doing a double major, and her schedule is pretty loaded, but I don’t think that’s something I’d mind much.

I love learning, so long as it’s something I want to learn about. =P That’s why I want to find a science-ish major that I can "click" with.

For example, I hate most kinds of math, but from everything I’ve read, calculus sounds fascinating. There’s got to be something in science I’ll like.

I am 26 years old and already have a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have always had a huge interest in becoming a doctor, but I wasn’t sure how comfortable I was with the idea of going back to school for so many years. I have been thinking about it and want to pursue it. My undergraduate GPA is 3.47, very low for med school, but I still have to take many prereqs for admission. I haven’t had any chemistry or physics courses and would need to take more biology. Will the medical school admissions look at the combined GPA after I’ve taken all prereqs, or am I already at a huge disadvantage because my GPA is at 3.47? Any advice or opinions from pre-med/medical students is appreciated, as well as doctors. Thank you.
Actually, Charlie Tuna, I do know that a lot of medical schools focus on the overall science GPA which can be different from combined GPA. I was wondering if I do well on the prereq courses if I would still be competitive because my initial undergrad GPA is so low. Thanks, Ashley. The schools I am looking at do not require a specific degree for acceptance, but they do require that all prerequisite courses be completed as well as the MCAT, of course. I’m hoping to have a shot at it.
Thank you, Jason. I appreciate your encouragemennt.
