^^ I am IS, 3.9+, 34. Quite a bit of research and clinical volunteer work.

But if it goes back to "is being reviewed" it means you are about to get an II. That's what you really want!
I would love to go to BCM too, but this is probably the least likely of all schools to accept me, which is impressive, but mostly since I'm OOS. However, I couldn't talk myself out of applying here! I think I would love it.
FWIW, I am also at "Has Been Reviewed"
just switched to "is being reviewed". Fingers crossed!
My status is now has been reviewed. i dunno what to expect now.
status changed to "has been reviewed" today. now the waiting game begins
"is being reviewed" would probably mean they were currently looking at it. "Has been reviewed" probably means someone has already looked at it, and if you haven't gotten an invite, is either pending further review or a rejection. That's what I would assume. I'm also stuck at:

I'm an OOS MS1 at BCM. It's definitely possible (there's a pretty sizeable chunk - I think about 30% - of the class that's OOS), so keep your hopes up! The school is definitely awesome, too.
Tell it like it is, Cinclus! We missed meeting you at the White Coat Ceremony. Well done, was it not?
Our family has liked EVERYTHING about BCM so far...even accepting the family's health coverage rather than insisting on the school's coverage ($3k/yr.).
I know of no other all-in value like BCM, especially for OOSers.
Best of luck to you for your success and fulfillment there!
Anyone know the MCAT/GPA cutoffs for interview invites (roughly)?
There aren't any. They look at each app they get and review them holistically.
For those of you going to the August interview, did all of you who requested student housing managed to get it?
Perhaps, but intuitively it ineluctably helps to be near 3.80 and 33...
http://www.bcm.edu/medschool/snapshot.html
Stats on the 2010 entering class (latest posted @ BCM web site):
Average undergrad GPA : 3.80
Average MCAT : 11.04 (33.12)
Percent Women 41%
Percent Under. Minor. 19%
Tx residents ~75%
Note: the commonly published stat for
MCAT average is the ACCEPTED Aver.,
NOT the MATRICULATED average...that
figure is considerably higher
In terms of ACCEPTED averages, BCM
is VERY high on the food chain:

Do you guys think applying to baylor would be a waste of time at this point? (3.84 / 33 URM)??? I do have FAP so it would only cost $50, but two of my transcripts still haven't been received by AMCAS
So you haven't been verified yet?
Hey y'all, congrats to everyone coming to interview this Friday, I'll be seeing you there at lunch!
Thanks! I'm already so nervous. Packing my stuff now. I'm really excited to see the school though!
with spacesHi kind folks,
I have a small question about the secondary. On the 2000 characters limit, is that 2000 characters without spaces or with?
So is there a current student that can talk about Baylor's day-to-day schedule? The three Texas schools I have been to so far have around only 4-5 hours of class time a day, while Baylor has 8 like everyday...Is all of this time valuable, or does it get to be kind of a drag?
I just interviewed at Baylor today and from what they told us, they definitely dont have 8 a day. It's more like 4 hours each morning and then one day a week there is a pbl class that lasts about 2 hours and then another afternoon is a practice of medicine class. Fairly similar to the other Texas schools I've interviewed at except there's an emphasis on lectures vs pbl. I was really impressed by the 18 month preclinical curriculum. All the students seemed really happy!

Hey for those of you guys that interviewed yesterday, how was the process? Anything you didn't except? Also what time did everything finish?
Question...... I have good stats (36, sci and cum 3.96+, good clinical ECs), but no research (and OOS). I would love to get in here....do you guys think having no research is a death blow here (looking at you, Mayo....)?
I dunno what anyone else's experience has been with this, but I have pretty much no research (besides one casual semester in a psychology lab), and I interviewed there yesterday. I'm also OOS, with a 34 and cum 3.9. So... hopefully it won't end up being a death blow? But I at least made it to the interview stage!

I had to reschedule my interview for 10/19. I am OOS (4.0 35M). I know first acceptances are sent out on 10/15. Will I be at a disadvantage interviewing so late, especially as an OOS?
