Did you see the preview? I actually went to check Frank Underwood's website out lol

Ha! I just checked out the website. It's phenomenal. I'd take Underwood over Donald Trump, frankly.
If I get rejected from UIC I'm gonna pull a Bartlet in Two Cathedrals on them.

Side note: if anyone wants to see the most epic rant in television history and doesn't mind spoilers, go to youtube and look up "Bartlet Two Cathedrals"

while I agree on age being nothing, a lot of us are older and have gone through hell (aka me) along the way and yes these experiences have made me 1000X stronger, but I am at the point where I just want to be in already, but I am also 28, so for all you youngins, STOP WORRYING! I promise you you'll make it!!!!!!!!!!! the fact you guys even got interviews and I haven't shows how incredible you are, so if you have to wait one year after graduating from undergrad, it doesn't mean anything - you're fantastic regardless!

Thanks for the encouragement chocolate!! I'm not worried about reapplying, or having to wait a year cause I am still in undergrad, I just loved this school so much. Even if I don't get in, I can always apply there again next year!

Omg that's amazing!!! Congrats! Where to? Did you do an SMP?
Click to expand...

MUSC I would strongly suggest applying there, they are very helpful in how to better prepare in the following cycles and Charleston is absolutely beautiful

I put Post Bacc, but in reality I did a master's in vascular biology, hit the NIH IRTA program, then got into clinical research and pumped out a few papers. Took me a long time to make for a couple bad semester's in undergrad; My MCAT was average at 32.

If I could go back I would've looked much more into an SMP, that being said it puts you in a do or die situation

How many times did you take the MCAT?
 
Didn't match at my one good prospect in TX. So, guess I belong in this thread now. :(

Not to be a debbie downer, but if you only get into Hufflepuff you will have a hard time matching into anything competitive.

Hopefully my TCMC II went to someone specifically in this thread and no one else ;). Any other IIs I get will certainly come to you guys! I hope other people follow my example if they are not interested in attending more interviews!

There's still 9 more I'm waiting on, but it's so late in the cycle I can't possibly be getting a II.

I feel you on that one. At one school, I was absolutely castigated by one of my interviewers because I have been published in research. "If you're so devoted to research, how am I supposed to believe you want to do medicine?" Bear in mind that the only mention of my research was in the activities section of AMCAS--I did not say one peep about it in my personal statement or any of my secondaries. I thought it was a good thing!
Click to expand...
Wow! The great thing about being involved in research as a physician is that you are more aware of the new literature and findings and can generally understand them better. I am pretty sure my research background is what got my my one interview and acceptance. My faculty interviewer was a physician scientist and it seemed he was trying to sell me the school by telling me how great it was for research and how supportive they were of physicians who have research labs.

Hey guys.. just posting in.. I'm a sad panda at the moment.. last time i applied i had 5 interviews, 3 waitlists.. waited a year, did another smp ( already have an ms in pharm, 3.76 science gpa in med school courses with close to 70 credits) but heres the kicker.... i did poorly on the new mcat. I have a couple consecutive 31's on the old mcat, and should have not taken it and realized i was not ready. Well, i'm praying they will emphasize more on my graduate coursework and my lors... if not, I'm gonna grind my butt off studying mcat this summer after i finish my thesis.. I'm a professional pre-med.. lol.. I still have 9 schools I'm waiting to hear back from, but cycle is winding down.. Thank the good Lord for this forum, it's a great network support group going through a tough process. Hang in there guys.

Wait...you got several 31s on the old MCAT and took the new MCAT?
 
Yeah, i didn't realize i was burned out and not prepared to take the new one.. program director recommended me that i didn't have to take the new one, but i kinda wanted to reap the benefits of the program ( most people blast mcat after doing the smp, its really rigorous and intense ), but didn't realize i was burnt out and unready. I take full ownership of why my cycle isn't going well, i just hope one adcom will put more weight on my coursework and that i will succeed in the preclinical coursework.. fingers crossed #brutalprocess

"2015 AAMC "Traffic Rules" for Students Accepted to Medical Schools (MD)
Published: Jan. 26, 2015
Starting in February, for all students they have accepted, med schools can see where else they have been accepted via the Multiple Acceptance Report. In April of the application year all medical schools can see a list of all applicants with a current Acceptance or Matriculated action via the National Acceptance Report. They can never see rejections or alternate lists or no actions for other schools."

so in April if you are waitlisted at School B, they can see you have been accepted at School A(etc). They can also see that you have no acceptances. That may factor into whether to offer you a spot or not.
Click to expand...

anyone have any idea on whether this can result in more II in February?

New plan: I fake my death and have my parents convince a medical school to give me an honorary acceptance because it was my life's dream. Then I miraculously rise from the grave and graciously accept their offer of admission.
