Hi all, I'm so confused and could use some advice!
I was recently accepted into AUC (Jan 2011) & Ross (May 2011), and SGU wants me to interview for their Charter Foundation Program (Jan 2011, maintain high GPA, pass an exam, then new interview...then get admitted to SGU Med for August 2011).
I previously applied to & was rejected from all the US Med Schools – no interviews. I applied to a mix of schools, both private and public state schools. I also applied to & was rejected from EVMS' SMP and Georgetown's SMP – although I was waitlisted at Georgetown.
I'm going to be re-applying to EVMS's Special Masters Program - I spoke to the admissions counselor there and she said I needed to rewrite my PS, retake Organic Chem II Lecture, & send a final transcript w/my degree posted. She said the biggest problem was that I applied so late, most spots were already filled.
My science GPA: 2.5 & non-science GPA: 2.7. My MCAT was 29R the first time:
Verbal Reasoning 11 84.6 - 95.5
Physical Sciences 08 43.1 - 57.9
Writing Sample R 84.9 - 94.0
Biological Sciences 10 57.8 - 76.9
Total Score 29R
and my 2nd try was 27S:
Verbal Reasoning 12
Physical Sciences 06
Writing Sample S
Biological Sciences 09
Total Score 27R
Soo...do I put in the time/money/effort to reapply to US Med Schools? Do I just apply to more then EVMS's SMPs? Or do I just accept AUC or Ross? ANY advice would be helpful guys...I'm so confused right now. :/
