For any NSer on the pre-med track

This thread is in regards to a newly made cult for newschoolers on the pre-med track. This cult is meant for any student so that we can all help each other out and seek advice from each other. The average newschooler is around 15 or 16 years of age, so asking for advice in NSG will most likely do nothing but misguide you. If anyone is interested, PM me for an invite!
 
im in nursing + pre med courses now.

send an invite brooooo.

just cruising through the examkrackers MCAT guide too right now
 
Welp, why not? I guess you can send an invite my way. I'm done with the "pre-med track," but I suppose I could offer up some advice.
 
This goes out to anyone in the pre-health track as well, whether its pre-optometry, pre-PT, pre-dental, etc.
 
If your done you must have taken the MCAT sometime last year. What schools did you apply to/get in to?

and i hate people who call it pre-med. like i get a very small minority of schools actually has some program called pre-med but so many nubs say they are pre-med when in reality they are simply a bio major.

Im studying for dental school. In taking the DAT this summer and then finishing up the requiremets for OHSU next year.

Im currently taking anatomy/ochem/cell bio and neurophysiology
 
Invite sent. Good luck with dental school, I actually have a friend who just got accepted into UMDNJ's 7-year accelerated program. She starts next year.

In response to your hate for the widely used term "pre-med" I myself am usually a lot more hesitant in using the term in person, but it's practically inevitable that anyone will ask me what my intended route is when I tell people that I study human biology in school. But sometime's it's just easiest to say that you're following the pre-health/med track.
 
7 year program sounds neat. So here senior year as an undergrad will coincide with her firet year of dental school?

Shes got a long way to go before shes actually in dental school though. She was just admitted to an undergrad program that gives her a nifty option. Thats cool though, good for her.
 
Yea, she's a junior now and she starts her 4 years of dental school next year but won't receive her undergrad degree til next year... so I'm not exactly sure how the credit transferring works out in the end. Kind of makes me wish I did some type of 7 year combined BS/MS program but this girls worked her ass off for this specific program since high school
 
There isn't any consistency between countries because all the licensing and funding differs by country, just like healthcare in general. That said, the US and Canadian education systems are pretty similar (and the Aussies/Kiwis/Brits are quite a bit different from what I gather).

And to the person griping about the term 'pre-med', it's a useful term for people like me who did unrelated majors (Comp Sci) but worked through the requirements and ended up in med school. And there's lots of bio majors who don't particularly want to end up being health professionals (researchers, wildlife biologists, etc.)

If anyone has questions about applying/med school/whatever, I don't mind answering em.
 
I'm thinking about being a general practice family doctor. Not exactly at the cutting edge of the field but thats what I'm most interested in.
 
I'm about to send you an invite. I sent out a bunch of em last night and earlier today but I'm not sure if many people are getting thing or not
 
Anyone who has PM'd me or responded here should have received an invite as of now. If there are any problems let me know and I'll send out the invites again
 
i know a few people way smarter then you studying to be a doctor at csu. if you don't like it why don't you cry about it on my feedback again.
 
Choosing to go to CSU means you're not smart enough to go to CU. CSU is worse than CU is pretty much every academic category, it's less generous with scholarships, it's farther from the mountains, and it's in a shittier town. I don't know a single person from my high school class who chose to go to CSU when they got into CU.

Also, CSU doesn't have a medical school, so your friends probably lied to you about studying to be doctors there.
 
Just so anyone following this thread knows, undergrad school when applying to med school makes no difference unless if you had a near-perfect GPA from schools like harvard, yale, princeton, etc. A CU undergrad applicant with a 3.8 gpa will not be chosen over a CSU undergrad applicant with the same gpa and there are many reasons why
 
From what I've gathered, undergrad school really only plays a major role if you're trying to get into investment banking and similar fields.

My school isn't even in the top 50 engineering schools and I worked with engineers from MIT and Stanford and made the same amount of money and did the same job.
 
First off, I go to CSU and got into CU and DU. Secondly, CU's acceptance rate is about 12% higher than CSU's. Also, CSU's business, natural resources, agricultural, biology, chemistry, and veterinary programs are all ranked much higher than CU's. Ya its 30 minutes farther away from the mountains but it is not a shitter town in any way. Lastly, just because CSU doesn't have a med school doesn't mean you can't take pre med classes there. This is the norm with every college in the country.

You sound like the typical out of state bro that thinks CU is so sick because you can smoke weed and party so hard there, who every person that is actually from Colorado hates.
 
Human physiology major/chemistry minor and on pre-med track. Applying to schools this summer. Send me an invite! My desk is stacked with 4 MCAT keep books, molecular biology of the cell, principles of neural science and organic lab currently.......Fuuuuuu
 
First, your name is HashBlazer420. Any argument you ever present is 100% invalid because of this. Second, you are from a suburb of Detroit. Why are you trying to argue about which school in Colorado is better? Third, you're clearly a massive fucking idiot, so kindly remove yourself from any sort of discussion regarding medical school, dental school, or any other sort of professional school, because you will never make it that far in your life. Just sit back, relax, light a blunt, and accidentally set your house on fire when you pass out.
 
Ad Hominem. You ever heard of it? Also, I don't know what makes you think I'm from a suburb of Detroit, but you're wrong (not surprising).

I hear you go to Michigan State. Good school. /s
 


Region

UNITED STATES, Michigan, Detroit

I'm willing to bet quite a bit of money you're not actually from downtown.
 
I never mentioned acceptance rate. Learn to read.

I have no bias in the CU vs CSU debate. I have no reason to skew data. You, however, do attend CSU, so you would have a reason to skew data.

I'll tell you I don't go to CU or CSU, but beyond that where I go to school is completely irrelevant to my argument that CSU is comprised almost entirely of students unfit to go to med school.
