I also submitted my secondary in October. Are you planning on applying for this opportunity?
Yes I am. I'm really hoping for some good news in March. It just seems so far away!
Congrats for getting the invite to MedPath. Seems like a wonderful program. I was complete at this school since beginning of Sept but have not heard anything. I previously talked to the person in charge of the post-bacc program and was told that my numbers which were mid 20 for MCAT and 3.1GPA exceed their numbers (I do not know what that means lol!) because that is what the program is designed for because those numbers are not "competitive". But I have not heard anything yet so not sure what they are up to. In the mean time, got some interviews at others school (I have stellar graduate GPA/EC) and will see how that plays out. Good luck!
I think I've seen you in the MMC forum, right? Congrats on your interviews and best wishes for an acceptance this cycle.
Yep, just did interview at MMC and have two more coming up soon. Hop it all works out. I loved MMC and I hope they will take me
and best of luck with your endeavors too and hope you get into program of your choice!
Why update? The program looks for people with low stat (I was told if you have 25 MCAT you do not qualify) and I am not sure how updating them helps you. Perhaps they focus on GPA and not the MCAT but they said I will not get their app because of mere 3.2 with 25ish MCAT so the lower the better!
I agree. You don't really need to do
Hi fellow traveler, keep it going it aighnt time to quit! Is the deadline for this thing Jan? I hope I get rejected from the regular program so that I can at least get the app for this program. They are still holding me up and I dont think I stand a chance but I am just hopping they love me lol! Good luck though!
Thanks for the encouragement. It is appreciated. This "burnout" thing...I used to think it wasn't real, but I found out this cycle!! Yes, the deadline is the last day in January for the MEDPATH app. I'm working on my remaining essays today and tomorrow. You haven't gotten an interview or a rejection from the regular admissions yet? That could be a good thing. If you can get accepted on regular admissioms right away without the additional post-bac year....heck, they rejected me pretty quickly!! Lol! I've got my fingers crossed for you and hoping for the best. You never know what God has in store for you, but I'm sure it's going to be great!! Soooo nervously impatient and excited!
Thanks for making my day a bit brighter! I feel ya and this whole process is so nerve wrecking and sometimes I feel like it is designed to weed out the light hearted ones. But we are not light hearted so march on. It is a difficult and arduous process but I am sure it is worth it in the end and we just have to aim for the stars and there is always light at the end of the tunnel---overused terms but it is is so true! Best of luck and I hope you get into this or any other program so that you can be a great doc you have always meant to be!
I see! I do not see any change on the site regarding the status--just says secondary received. Also, I have not received the postbac app because they said MCAT above 24 does not qualify so I probably wont be getting the app (told by the director of the program back in the fall). Good luck to you though!
I think I remember seeing something about taking classes with undergrads. I'm not sure if that's all the classes with undergrads or just the few science courses we individually may have to retake. I hope the program fosters some sort of community/ collaborative atmosphere so we're all in the same classes, see each other etc etc
That's what I read on all the previous forums, so I think so
It's going to be a super long 4-5 week wait. Ugh. Patience is so difficult especially at this point in the application cycle. The great part, for the fortunate few who'll be selected, is they'll know for sure that they're going to become doctors at the end of it all.
I asked about that and was told that it hasn't been determined yet.
