Hi there, 29 MCAT with <3.5 GPA. I've received 6 MD interviews but was complete WAY BACK. I'm talkin like July/August.
What schools?
And what is your secret?
NYMC, Drexel, EVMS, VCU/MCV, Downstate, Wayne State
As you can see, none of these are top schools, but who cares, they're all great programs IMO.
As for secrets, I really couldn't tell you. Some might call me lucky, I have 1 summer of clinical experience and the rest of my AMCAS is stuff I enjoy (fitness hobbies/jobs). IMO, if there was 1 strength to my application, it would be the fact that I was consistent with that 1 fitness aspect. It's what I truly love, and what drove my towards medicine, and I let schools know that in every way possible.
If you really want a secret, it would be to apply early and broadly, and keep your fingers crossed. Good luck y'all! You really don't need 30+ to get into medical school, although it would definitely help.
apply early
congrats again robizzle, when is ur interview at wayne?? how lond did it take to recieve invitation?
I don't know precisely what she got, but I'm pretty sure it was sub 30. She's a pretty incredible girl though, probably close to a 4.0 at a top school and a generally good and motivated person. She got into better schools than I will get into with an MCAT 10 points higher... JHU, Yale, etc... If your score is sub 30 and reflects your general ability, then you're in trouble, but if you know and it's obvious to others that you are better than that then you can still be alright. You can also always take it again.
A majority of us (I am not saying everyone so don't jump on me) applied early. This is very important. So some of you who have applied later in the season and are not seeing the success that some of us have experienced, keep in mind that earlier is better and improves your chances dramatically...especially at rolling admissions schools. Nonetheless, keep hope alive and stay on top of the schools that you have applied to by sending updates, and checking your status often. Good luck!!
A friend of mine got a 27 and was accepted to UCSD three weeks ago.yea i have heard of some 29ers getting some love, but not so much for 27s
I'm not much above (a 30 MCAT), and I'm hella jealous of those of you who got GWU interviews.
Cartman: You guys are hella stupid.
Stan: Why do you keep saying 'hella", Cartman?
Cartman: 'Cuz I'm hella cool, that's why.
haha sorry, you reminded me of the Evil Cartman episode...
Sub 30 into JHU? She must be incredible...
My friends got into JHU with a 29 as well.
I hate to say this but the average MCAT score is in the 27 range, so I don't understand why it seems to amazing that people get into "good" schools with sub 30 scores.
28 MCAT here, 3.6 GPA, 7 in VR...
Here is my profile if you are interested. It can be done. Good luck to you!!
