Tips for getting accepted to medical school
Out of the 34,859 applications submitted in 2001, only 17,456 were accepted.
That means 17,403 rejections. Click here for more statistical data.
Getting in into a medical school is not easy. However, if you do extremely
well academically: that is, if you get (1) high GPA, (2) obscenely high
MCATs, (3) write an impressive personal statement and (4) get rese... 阅读全帖 |

get your money and degree.
Since I don't know what institution you are from, here is what you need to
do. All biomedical institutions with a graduate program agree to obey AAMC
graduate student and adviser compact. Part of the compact guarantee your
support for a specific period. Some schools as a whole guarantee stipend
for 5 years as long as you are in the program (i.e. Brown University). So

这样做的好处是我最后的总学分有130多。基本上可以满足任何学校的要求。至少可以保证我可以通过各个学校第一步的筛选---小密们对学分，GPA，MCAT的筛选。
如果我只用21个学分申请，成功地可能性应该很小。当然，如果我在美国拿了硕士或博士，情况可能不一样。 |

能否列出你修的这些课程名称？
转学分是个好办法，对于F1研究生可能不可行。F1身份只能在一个学校fulltime学习，
在其他学校学习只能进入non-degree program。能否把国内的学分转到non-degree
program的课程里我没有问过，不知道可行不可行。

Did you just take evening courses? The time does not conflict with each

The MCAT also somewhat reflect the level you are in other science courses,
but it is still better that you take them.
I have not started preparing for MCAT, but I am sure I will not get T for
writing as my writing ( both Chinese and English) is bad. I did just 90/150
on Chinese in college entrance exam. Did you take MCAT prep courses offered
by test companies? |

No. just regular classes. Actually I did not go to the classroom for most
classes except to take the tests. You could explain your situation with the
teachers. As long as you could get good grades, normally they do not care.

Just like what we did in college in China. What is different though, In

发帖数: 1334 | 32 Usually the "full-time student" status is determined by the course load, not
by your other activities such as a job. For example, to be qualified as a "
full-time student" at my school, a student must take 12 or more credits per
semester. If you're a full-time postdoc, it's very unlikely you'll be able
to handle 12 credits course work. |

发帖数: 157 | 33 I think it depends on your visa status. If you have green card, you can
register as a full time student while you are working as a full time postdoc
. The schools do not care if you are working or not, as long as you have the
ability to pass at least three courses.
If you have F1 visa at one school, it might be difficult for you to be a
full time student at another school. For details, you have to ask each
school.

发帖数: 1879 | 38 我就这个意思。
所以对于研究生，我的建议是如果老板人好，想办法一个学期修一门课，然后慢慢攒，
当然这个是技术活也是时间的东西，最重要是看你老板的人品和你做研究的运气。不然
试验做不出来任何事情都是把柄。
如果老板人不好，forget about it，要么退学自己家出钱去读postbac，要么先熬毕业
其他的少捉摸。

AAMC希望2012年US医学院的招生人数上升30%，目前招生的人数已经比2002年上升了15%
～17%。这一政策以及明显的影响到今年FMG的match。
可以看得出来今后每年会有1000～2000AMG加入到分match蛋糕的行列中，有可能进一步
降低FMG的match率。
从图中可以看到针对FMG的match率从2005年的～52%已经下降到今年的42%（这可是按照
active applicant算的）。不知道之一下降的趋势会不会继续。
