... Btw economic reasons means disadvantaged status not URM status. URM is based on racial classifications. PS what are your other credentials i.e. ECs? Where...
... I'm not sure what Dr. Myers or Dr. Mulroney would tell you but I'd tell you what my own admissions officers in Florida would tell you. They'd tell you that...
My two cents: I don't think you need an SMP-type program unless your grades are tending down at the end, or there is some other flaw in your application that...
... I have confirmed with AAMC that because of my economic status and that of my family, I am part of MAR. I was a college athlete, involved in dorm...
Hmm well with that knowledge I'd go ahead and again repeat what I said earlier. you probably don't need an SMP. Robert E. Larkin aka "REL" Larkin of UCF's MD...
If this is being aimed at me. No I'm not. I'm an applicant to this program but as someone who has advised a lot of people in Fl. and knows a few major MD...
Hello, I have a different kind of situation. Have applied to your SMP and am awaiting decision. I have a 3.15 and 33 MCAT and I am waiting back on a decision...
Dear Whichpath97, My advice is to take option one if it works out; if not, go to the suburban school, and start working to make a difference. All schools will...
Hello Dr. Myers, My name is Varun Shenoy and I am currently on the wait list for the SMP class of 2010. I had a question. Would you recommend that I still send...
I too am curious about whether I should send in my AMCAS right away or wait for the decision. I've been accepted to the BU MAMS program, and if I don't get off...
Dear Varun, Please fax those grades to us at 202-687-7407, attention to me. Also, request that an official transcript be sent. As for the AMCAS, Since I'd say...

Okay, so I'm royally screwed because I have a very low cGPA (2.4), sGPA (2.1), 21 O MCAT, and there was an academic suspension, but was re-admitted and...
My advice (harsh as it might sound) would be to take some time off, do something engrossing and compelling, for example, join the Peace Corps, and then...
Fatima, You should go to a website called Student Doctor Forums and look up the postbac forums. I do strongly agree with Dr. Myers. even if you don't take time...
Thank you, I appreciate you taking out the time to help me. I know you and Dr. M are both right. I don't know about all the soul searching though, but I agree...
Then it is my advice to try to do another Bachelor's degree in another related science field where you have not taken classes first as a postbac i.e....
