Anonymous asked: I was on academic probation in college. I want to transfer to an university but I am afraid this will affect my ability. As well as when I graduate and want to get into medical school, will the medical admissions community reject me?

Anonymous asked: I'm starting med school in the fall and want to join the medblr community! I've mentioned my state/school on my blog though. Should I make a new blog just to be on the safe side as far as HIPAA goes? I don't really want to do that, but I don't to risk violating anyone's privacy. You've done a great job of being discreet but personable. Any advice?

Anonymous asked: Hi there :) I was wondering if you could explain the process you went through asking professors for letters or rec (when did you ask them with respect to your application due date, any paperwork you provided them with in order to help them write a better letter of rec, how you thanked them afterwards, etc). I'm planning on applying next cycle, but I won't have classes with a lot of the...

Admission #138: Motivational Powerpoint
I got inspired by this article on buzzfeed and I made my own motivational powerpoint of my favorite good-looking guys and encouragement to keep me studying.
I feel like I should add some ladies too because beautiful, strong women are crazy-inspirational as well.

populationpensive replied to your post: Admission #137: Med School Mafia
:-) I’m glad she has so much support. I would die if I lost my notes and I’m sure she was very upset.
Just the thought of so many important things getting stolen a month before most of us take STEP 1 made us upset with her!
She’s an absolutely wonderful girl and while my class can often be the...

Admission #137: Med School Mafia
One of my classmates had her backpack, filled with her laptop and STEP 1 notes, stolen last night. The response from my class was overwhelming and focused on only two things:
Offering all and any notes and study resources she needed
Offering to kill the person who stole the backpack.
Moral of the story: don’t mess with my med school class

Anonymous asked: What happens if you are on probation/suspension while in medical school/residency? Do you have the chance to be reinstated after serving for some time so you can practice medicine again? Or does that depend on your faculty?

So I’ve noticed on my blog and most of the other medblrs I follow that there have been a metric crapton (units= kg/crapⁿ, n=number of craps) of asks from concerned pre-meds about their grades. It’s the end of the year. You’re getting your grades. Activate freakout mode.

Anonymous asked: I have a question about the appropriate time to take the MCAT. Is it required to take it a year before applying for admission? Or would it still work to take it the summer before applying?
Anonymous asked: Hello! I was just wondering your opinion on something. I recently graduated college with a 2.9 GPA, 29 on the MCAT and have been working in EMS for 7 years. Do I have a good chance of getting into med school or should I seek a post baccalaureate program?
Anonymous asked: Do you think it is okay or rather, appropriate at this time for me to ask questions about anything related to the situation? I want to talk to Doc X since I know he is managing her blog at the moment, but do you think it is ok for me to ask him more questions about himself. Say like what he does and all?
Anonymous asked: How come a lot of the medblr blogs on here don't ever reveal their first name? I mean I get that they don't want to reveal their last name in case they're searched up.. But why not their first?

I recently learned about a pretty cool service that I think my pre-med followers could use.
Roheet, who runs thebiopsy has started a new service where he will read and give feedback on your personal statement for your med school application. You can find the description here.
