As others have said, your GPA from high school and your ACT won't matter to medical schools at all. They will look at your volunteer/shadow/research/work experiences, your recommendations, your MCAT score, your cumulative Bachelor degree GPA, and you...
I applied to some of the same schools as you (in Illinois) this cycle. Did you ever hear back from Elmhurst? The one thing I really liked about this program is the fact that they seemed to look at the applicant as a whole, not just GPA. From what I ...
I have no idea how competitive ADN programs are, but I do know a lot of programs have minimum cutoff cumulative GPA's of a 2.5 or higher. For prerequisite courses, many have cutoff GPA's of at least a 3.0. Is there any way that you can improve your G...
I actually didn't apply to many because I had to stay semi local due to my husband starting grad school this year. Anyways, I got into Depaul University, Elmhurst College, and Marquette University. I also had an interview at UIC that I canceled. I pl...
I actually had very similar stats as you! In my case, I think my experiences and recommenders were what really helped me. I didn't think I had a great chance of getting in, but I ended up getting into all of the direct entry programs I applied to and...
Gigi, maybe if we have a class president they can just take over the admin for the group lol. I hope you two get in! The first round of students had to let them know the 24th and I found out the morning of the 25th, so that was a really fast turn ar...
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1552436988352856/ I made a group! If anyone would like to be an admin, just let me know! I've never done this before, so let me know if you have any problems finding it
Ya me too! I'm just curious what the next steps are. When do you plan on moving to Illinois? And I actually did my undergrad on the eastern side of the state, but I'm originally from the Seattle area.
Other than an email about my financial aid status I haven't received anything. How about you? I'm dying to know more because I really haven't been able to find much online. I did get a chance to visit the campus and I really like it. It's a LOT small...
That will be a big move! I don't envy you . We are actually living about 35 miles north of Chicago, but are looking for a place this summer that will be more of a midway point for both of us. Are you planning on living in Elmhurst?
Hi Ann! I believe that Soni7 is planning on attending Rush! :) Where will you be moving from? I moved to the Chicago area this past August from Seattle for my husband to start a podiatry program

I'm just catching up on this thread and I'm glad to hear that he is willing to try to work out some time this month. However, there does seem to be some interesting dynamics with your husband shutting you out from his school life. I really think that...

My husband and I have been together for 8 years (married 1) and he just started a podiatry program this year. During the first couple of years of podiatry school, they take the same classes as an MD student, so they are very busy. As we tried to get ...
My husband is studying podiatry at Rosalind Franklin. We just moved here in August and it's a very nice campus. It's about 35 miles north of Chicago and is a separate city from Chicago (kind of confusing). The campus is located right next to the nava...
I think Rush is one of the top ranked programs and located in Chicago. And hopefully you do get good news! I hope we all do! I think I need to limit the number of times a day I check my email because I'm driving myself crazy haha And that's awesome!...
Wow. That's really short notice. Also, waiting another month to hear back from the school sounds awful lol ... I've really got to work on this whole patience thing!
Another Washingtonian! :) Where did you do your undergrad? And I applied to direct entry programs at Elmhurst (accepted), UIC (waiting), Depaul (waiting), and Marquette (waiting). I hope you get good news from Marquette! It's such a stressful process...
That's good to know at least! Thanks for sharing :) Did they say when we could expect to hear from them? That is stressful! Where would you be moving from? My husband and I moved from Seattle to Chicago for his program this past summer :)
