2015 - 2016 September - November Completion Thread

[catie_jane]

Just got a II this morning from NYMC!! Was marked complete 9/18 and I took the 9/17 casper. Took them a while to receive the score. Keep hope alive ^_^

Complete just around the same time! Gives me hope!

I wish this thread was more active!

Has anyone heard any news lately?

Silence otherwise!

Lizzy M ~74-75
International Applicant
Applied 16 MD/PhD, 4 MD
Complete late September - mid October
3 MD/PhD IIs, 2 Rejections (1 MD/Phd + 1 MD), 4 MD/PhD to MD-only transfers.

Although I'm sure being late hurt my chances at some schools, I don't think it completely ruined them. However, I can only speak for MD/PhD. No news from MD-only schools yet.

Hello, fellow July MCATer
Congrats on the interviews

 

[Cotterpin]

July MCAT club! Love you guys!

 

[banthapug]

Last II was at the end of October. A couple of rejections this week, but other than that just waiting still!

This is the thread of my dreams. Being a Canadian applicant, I had so many CAN apps due by Oct 1st, so I could only get around to finishing these secondaries by mid - late October. Is there hope?

LizzyM: ~76?

Applied to 14MD

 

[whatsupdr]

One and only invite was given early Oct.

Hey @catie_jane and @Cotterpin so happy to see some July MCATers again! It seems like a lifetime ago after all the application writing lol.

GPA 4.00
MCAT 518
LizzyM: ~76?

Applied to 14MD, currently finishing up M.Sc.

I'm also a Canadian applicant, and feel you on those CanMD apps slowing me down. Your stats seem good enough to be considered at some schools even if you were on the late side but you probably won't hear anything back until December or January when your app finally gets reviewed. Obviously your activities/PS/secondaries/school selection will also be a huge factor in your getting invited but all you can do now is wait and see. Good luck!

[Slave to the Game]

My application is very late because I am a lazy person who procrastinated all summer long.

LizzyM 73
Only 5/15 secondaries submitted this week, but at least I got an II already. Hoping to submit the rest before Oct 10th.

AMCAS verified mid-Aug, stagger-finished secondaries until the end of Oct. Fortunate enough to have an acceptance (secondary submitted early/mid Sept), generally looking for more II's as an ego boost more than anything. Life is good.

Hoping for more good news in this thread!

What school had that fast of a turn around? Congrats!

Buffalo med. I've only heard from the SUNY schools so far, and it was 2-3 weeks after submission.

 

[FreckleFart99]

This is a good thread.

 

[whatsupdr]

Had second II this past week..complete beginning of Sept at most places. Its not too late. Let hope for some more in December!!

 

[Cotterpin]

We're still in it, you guys! Just got an II from UVA.

So my updated situation is:
LizzyM ~72, complete everywhere between 9/2 and 9/20 (except Einstein who sent me the complete email in late October )
Applied: 17
II: 3
Rejections: 3
Holds: 3
Silence: 8

 

[whatsupdr]

Its been so quiet here so I figured I would Update:
Complete early Sept at most schools..
2 MD interviews completed
10 MD Rejections
18 MD Silences...
Still hoping for another II and possibly an acceptance! Good Luck Guys!!

 

[NotaCop]

I'll break the silence as well, complete throughout September at 24 schools (all MD) with LizzyM ~68

1 II complete, 2 I scheduled (no word back yet from the one)
2 holds
2 rejections
17 silence...

I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that most schools have yet to review my app since I still have no word from my state school, but not sure how realistic that is. Best of luck to everyone in the same boat!
