medical school requirements question and help

<p>@WOWMom, I know it hard to get into medcail school, but I was wondering if the college I that I get my B.S will make a diffidence in getting into a medical school. I was also considering going to UF’s biomedical program. But ucf is a thirty minute drive from my house. So I rather go to ucf. But if the college I go to from my B.S impact whether I get into a good medical school or not, I’ll try transferring to UF.</p>

<p>@texaspg <a href=“http://www.devry.edu/locations/campuses/loc_orlandocampus.jsp[/url]”>http://www.devry.edu/locations/campuses/loc_orlandocampus.jsp&lt;/a&gt; has all the devry programs in orlando. Devry work a little bit different then a traditionally college. Class are eight week long, but we have alot of class for one class. Example like for electrical I have to take four class of it. * * 4 = 32, so it’s the same as two semester of electrical in other colleges</p>

<p>For the most part, the college you attend does not have a major impact on whether or not you’ll be accepted into medical school. UCF or UF will both be acceptable schools for medical school admission.</p>

<p>I tried to find chemistry classes by putting chemistry in the search field. Is there a listing of all classes being offered in Florida somewhere on this website?</p>

<p>I looked and found that Valencia offer biology, chemistry and organic chemistry . DeVry offer physic, calculus, psychology and sociology. I’m taking my English class now.</p>

<p>Is UF medical school program any good? Also does your pay determent by what school you graduate from or the job it self determent the pay?</p>

<p>All US MD schools are VERY GOOD. Every single one of them. They are all excellent. There is no such thing as a subpar US MD school. All are excellent.</p>

<p>A doctors pay is NOT determined by where he went to med school. Rates are determined by specialty and maybe region of the country.</p>

<p>Go to UCF. </p>

<p>Since you have a learning disability, I don’t think any kind of eng’g major is a good idea. Eng’g is a very difficult major and you need a high GPA for med school.</p>

<p>My learning disability isn’t that bad. I get good grade in school and I’ve taken ap engilsh and got a B for the class and a 2 on the test. I was also looking at Canada medical school. My parent are Canadian so I should be accepted.</p>

<p>Does ucf still or will offer a scholarship for free tuition again?</p>

<p>also even if you get into medical school there are no guarantees you would get to be a radiologist since that’s one of the more competitive specialties.</p>

<p>I’m also little confused. Are you citing a B in high school english with a 2 on the AP test as evidence that your LD is minor? No offense, but that does not sound minor. Even if you go to an amazing high school where a B is a good grade, medical school and getting into residency are very dependent on standardized testing, so a 2 on an AP exam is not a good start.</p>

<p>I’m proud of my B. My teacher told me I would be lucky to get out of intensive redaing and English back in elementary school. I prove them wrong! I got a high B almost an A. The reason why I got a 2 is because I didn’t understand the question they were asking me on the essay part since my learning disability effect my reading comprehensions. I have no interest in English. I got an A in AP biology, but I couldn’t take the test because I was in the hospital and missed the test. My school didn’t offer AP chemistry so I can’t tell you if my chemistry knowledge is college worthy. Also I was never really serious in high school I got A and B like it was nothing. If I studied I would be in a better school. School was always easy for me. Expect when it cam to test, I’m not the best test taker but I do pass test with a good passing grade.</p>

<p>DeVry is regionally accredited by the North Central Association.</p>

<p>DeVry in South Florida has ABET accreditation in biomedical engineering technology, which is different from biomedical engineering.</p>

<p>Schools in Florida with ABET accredited biomedical engineering degree programs include Florida Gulf Coast University, Florida International University, and University of Miami.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Probably because they think that they can have a major that fulfills pre-med requirements almost automatically, while having an engineering major for better job prospects if they do not get into medical school (but biomedical engineering tends to have worse job prospects than most other engineering at the bachelor’s level).</p>

<p>DS is a BioE (slightly different than biomed) major not particularly because he is interested in its potential as Plan B, but because he was attracted to the problem-based, team-oriented learning approach that his university offers. He’s a hands-on, people person, and is so looking forward to his senior design project. For him–and this is a matter of individual preference–BioE provides not only the chance to acquaint himself with how the body functions (with all the requisite physiology, biochemistry, thermodynamics, etc. courses), but also the opportunity to seek solutions for existing medical problems within the same kind of collaborative framework he has observed while shadowing medical teams.</p>

<p>* The reason why I got a 2 is because I didn’t understand the question they were asking me on the essay part since my learning disability effect my reading comprehensions. *</p>

<p>Then that may affect your abilities to learn the college material and your ability to score well on the MCAT.</p>

<p>Anyway…time will tell. As soon as you’re in a school that has the premed prereqs, then you’ll find out if you can score well enough.</p>

<p>As for UCF …What are you asking? If you have Bright Futures, then you can use it there.</p>

<p>“my reading comprehensions”

  • Med. Students are reading much more of very complicated academic material than in UG. More so, as far as I know many cannot physically go over that much on their own without any kind of disability. It is common that they form a studying group, divide material and publish their parts for the rest of their group. To cover everything on your own simply is not possible.</p>

<p>I started studying for the mcat and usmle. I understand science, but not English literature. I very good when it came to math and science. I did good on my SAT score. I got a 1290 combine score, because my reading section was low.</p>

<p>@mom2collegekids
I was wondering if ucf is granting scholarship to student for their medical school. I know the class of 2013 got free tuition.
Also will Bright Futures pay for medical school? I know you have 5 years worth of Bright Futures and if I finish college in 3 years, can I use the last two in medical school?</p>

<p>I did some research I but I need a second opinion and a help on school to transfer into. I’m currently in BMET, but I want to be in BME. Uf has a BME program. Will they accept my credit and change my major to BME or will they not brother with me. UCF is near my house, and the close thing to BME is their Bioengineering minor. For UCF I was thinking of changing major to BSEE and getting a minor in the Bioengineering minor. Will they let me transfer as well? I plan to take all the freshman class for both in the summer and the next year through deVry and Valcencia. I this help me get in? </p>

<p>I current have a 3.7 GPA. I so far took almost my electronics class, pre cal, programming 1, and a critical thinking class. I currently taking programming 2 and English 1, and plan to take programming 3, English 2 and my 2 last electronics class in devry in the march and may term. I’m going to sign up to take biology and chemistry in valcenica in the summer.</p>

<p>The only way to know if UF will accept your credits will be to have UF do an evaluation of your official transcript. You can contact the the UF registrar and ask if they will do this before you apply to transfer. The college may not do evaluations on potential transfers, only once an applicant has been accepted.</p>

<p>When you apply for transfer to UF, you will specifiy which program you want to transfer into. If you’re accepted, the college will tell if you’ve been accepted into the College of Engineering. It’s possible to get accepted to a university, but not into the major you want. </p>

<p>Do not be surprised if some of your credits won’t transfer. This is pretty common when switching colleges.</p>

<p>It looks like the engineering program at UF is impacted. </p>

<p>UF only accepts students into the BME program at the beginning of their junior year and only after they completed all pre-engineering requirements.</p>

<p>Here’s UF’s list of required classes for BME applicants:</p>

<p>No, you can’t use Bright Futures for medical school. </p>

<p>As for scholarships for UCF. They might give some merit scholarships for very high stats. Tuition isn’t free anymore. lol</p>

<p>It sounds like you need to transfer to UCF, not UF. You can attend UCF without having to pay room and board. Much cheaper.</p>

<p>the students who got the free tuition were the first class of 40 students who began med school about 4 years ago…in Fall 2009</p>
