@belgiumapp‌ : Your GPA and scores are not weaknesses. They are at or above the median for many selective institutions, maybe above for Emory (SAT is and GPA is like in the middle I think). Any of these schools should be glad to have you! Just don’t be a soft pre-med when get to wherever. You can do better…

@bernie12‌ thank you! I meant that my GPA isn’t the 3.9 and 4.0 I often see on college confidential. And my math score is pretty low compared to most other kids accepted to my schools. And I can do better than what?

13

@belgiumapp‌ : Your math score is about the median for many selective places, especially when compared to the class they actually enroll. When I made the last remark, I was referring to your future plight as a pre-health. You can do better than following the pre-health crowd in doing things like forfeiting AP credit for the “easy A of retaking the course” or being convinced by a pre-health advising board that you should do what the herd is doing because you are “at risk” (this usually is not explicitly said, but is often implied when they suggest high easy majors to you) and thus you need to find and take easier paths/course (or course loads. Like they may tell you not to double up on major sciences, but this advice is typically invalid for those who scored 5’s on AP exams in those areas and many med. schools like it when you pass up retaking a class and are successful at pursuing a more advanced opportunity or successfully double up). Do to all of the hearsay, and fear associated with pursuing pre-med, the best students with strong preparation tend to water themselves down and pass up academic opportunities that could have actually benefited them. That is what I meant by being soft, students essentially abandoning the fact that they are more well-prepared to do better things, but settle for the “safe” route that the crowd follows.

14

@bernie12‌ thank you for the advice, I’d often heard it’s better the retake lower level courses even if AP credit could have been used. I’ll make sure to talk to the pre-med advisor as soon as can, whichever school I end up attending.

15

@belgiumapp‌ : No, many selective schools encourage students to move on (if qualified and comfortable) and take an advanced course to compensate (the trick is many other students and sometimes pre-health advisors trick you into being uncomfortable with your abilities so even take a pre-health advisor with a grain of salt. They can be wrong about you or taking a one size fits all approach to advising which is bad). Most of my friends did this and did indeed get most interviews and got into places. I think that keeps going around because many are buying into the idea that med. schools specifically want to see say…“general chemistry” on there. It simply isn’t true. Medical schools are not write off someone who took the organic sequence as a freshman, did well, and then took analytical and/or inorganic chemistry and did fine in those. And for biology, they certainly do not care as many students will take upperlevel biology courses (such as cell biology or a genetics course) anyway so you wouldn’t be at a disadvantage if you forfeited it (many students at Emory did this and honestly got at least interviewed by the best schools. Hell some skipped biology 1, did biology 2 and did not upperlevel bios and still got in. They were chemistry majors).

I know many at Emory who started with the freshman organic sequence (but under Soria) or those who started with organismal biology instead of forfeiting AP credit to retake biology 1, did extremely well in the med. school admissions process. My guess is it exposed them to a different type of learning that built up work ethic early and also taught them to do critical thinking in science (sometimes rare as some teachers only ask students to be good at rote memorization) which is beneficial for adjusting to MCAT level prompts (in fact some students have claimed that Dr. Beck’s class, the organismal teacher, gives essay/short answer prompts that are very close in style and sometimes even in content to MCAT passages and data figures). I feel like the retake mantra is more so valid for schools that exempt students from both parts of a sequence as opposed to 1. Like with biology at Emory, it is only the first semester of lecture, which is missable if you have a 4/5 (the lab is useful I guess and you have to take 141-L), and you get to take bio 142 which may teach you something new and could be worth it, but it isn’t like you have to go a whole year without taking biology, you can just substitute 141 lecture with 240 lecture and take 141-L lab and then continue on the normal path.

But anyway, explore your options, take your talent and preparation into account, and do not let another student or advisor to tell you otherwise and to just “do what everyone else is doing” it could end up making you very average…and large intro science courses can often end up disappointing. Seek better experiences if possible.

16

@bernie12‌ thank you so much for that advice! Hopefuly the other Emory pre-med hopefuls will see it too!
