My brother had an institutional violation at a community college for getting into an verbal argument with the registration staff during his freshman year and was cited for unbecoming conduct of a student. The school called the police and the SWAT came to the school. He was not arrested thankfully. Talk about an overreaction. He was suspended and had to appeal his suspension to return to school. He transferred to Rowan University to complete his undergraduate four year degree in history with a bio minor. He was an excellent student at Rowan and was accepted to Rowan's medical school. At his interview it was discussed briefly.
Would love to hear what you think about when people DONT include alcohol violations on their primary application. That probably happens more often them actually including it
@@joeburreaux7953 A lot of students with "perfect GPAs" crack when they get to the pressure of medical school and can't handle it. Everything prior to medical school came easy and thus these students often never learned how to deal adversity and failure. Give me someone who has faced adversity and grown from prior adversity rather then someone who appears perfect on paper. Overcoming adversity is important because in medical school everyone experiences adversity.
This is completely irrelevant to this video but I was wondering if you have a video or have any advice for someone who was a nursing major but switched to biology. I am concerned about what my grades from nursing school will say about my ability to complete medical school. I have A's but mostly B's and one C from nursing school. I currently have a 3.4 gpa and plan to take the MCAT in July. I plan to apply this upcoming cycle.
Good afternoon, Thank you for your videos) I get a violation because I stored alcohol( bottle of wine) in my dormitory room and I broke the housing policy rules, but I am 21 y.o. Is it an Institutional Action? It can affect my credibility as a potential medical student? And what about speeding tickets and my drive record?
A friend I asked about my institutional action went to his superior at the med school to ask but why not ask you, Dr. Gary, too. If a school took action against me alleging I “touched” student wrongly but was absolutely in the wrong, would I just include that, and the contradictory evidence in the 1325 characters and cross my fingers they are sort of ok with taking a risk on me? Is there not something more action a prospective could take?
I wanted to follow-up and say that friend who works in the admissions office told me 1 I should absolutely include that they took that kind of action against me in my application, obviously 2 it is up to me how much/little information I disclose. He did not really give me the concrete answer I sought, but he told me of a student the associate director or admissions told him got black flagged by all medical schools because he did not tell them of the institutional action a school took against him. He will likely never go to medical school

As a senior pre-med student, I'm completely addicted to your videos. What does it take to be considered for one of these interviews?

Hey Dr. Gray can you make a video talking about how covid will affect the upcoming cycle? All of April MCAT dates have already been cancelled.
He already did a podcast on it
My advice don't let your violation hold you back. You are human and human's make mistakes.
If medical school know shadowing is hard to find why do they judge students that have a long time without shadowing ?
I watch her youtube videos. Glad to see this IA didnt hold her back
What is her handle
I don’t get why med schools who screen don’t see growth of the person
It's just an excuse to filter through applications and avoid reading more applications. IAs for alcohol or drug violations shouldn't even exist.
Because there are thousands of kids with perfect GPAs who had no violations.

Is it possible to get into med school with a 3.2 cGPA?
What’s the difference between academic performance and conduct violation on AACOMAS ?

Sexual misconduct gets you blacklisted, change careers
m ED I do not think it is appropriate to jump ship on medicine because like 4 people could not be honest if they were paid to be.
That intro is FIRE 🔥when the “Ask Dr. Gray Premed Q&A” comes in!
Is there an email or source that I can use to send a direct question instead of posting it on here?
I think we all have a story or two that is best to keep to ourselves!!!!! 😅🤫😂😂
RegularJoe for real 😂😂 low key
