This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

depends on the student by jddomer

and seriously, I looked and there's a pre-med advisor at UNF. That person will probably have all the information the student needs. I would not rely on Reddit for pre-professional counseling. Whether he is positioned to take the MCAT right now depends on whether he has completed the right courses. Additionally, if his school does committee letters, he might need to get signed up for that now. If he hasn't met with the advisor, he really needs to ASAP. Every school is different. He needs to know what his school does and what it offers.
