When you are notified via the portal, does it show up in "school decisions"? Or you get a message?

I was notified via the Midwestern portal, not AADSAS. On the MWU-AZ portal, on the left hand side, under "Pre-Accepted", click "Interview Scheduling." If you have been invited to interview, it will allow you to schedule an interview. If not, it will tell you you're not invited at this time.

Oooo thanks!! I didn't even apply to MWU actually, I was just wondering where to check in AADSAS for other interviews

Congrats on your interview btw! Best of luck

Yeah, not sure if you were referring to me, but I was waitlisted for an interview last year. It goes nowhere. Even with above average stats. Not sure how they select people. Some people have 2.something GPAs and get interviews. Oh well. Look at other schools like he/she said.

Do they really interview people with less than 3.0? They denied me last week without a supplemental because of my 2.99 BCP with plus minus.... 3.0 without. They said every category must be above 3.0. I'm frustrated because I'm taking two science classes now that end in two weeks and getting A's and I have 2.5 years dental assisting experience and tons of extracurriculars, a little research and am average DAT...

I'm not gonna search this entire thread to see, but I thought I saw a 2 point something GPA getting an interview at MWU AZ... maybe he did a postbac there?

That was probably why you were denied - the average DAT w/ the subpar GPA. You should have waited to submit your application after the summer courses to improve the GPA beyond the magic number because those summer courses wont count for anything until maybe January or February when you do an update and by then its a lost cause most places. Schools do not make exceptions because there are too many well qualified applicants.

Do any of you know whether or not some schools like applicants who are student athletes? My gpa w/out t/- is 3.8 and 3.73 science. My DAT is 20 AA/19 TS/19 PAT/23 RC/21 GC/19 OC/17 BIO/18 QR. I have played college soccer at the division 1 level and I have played for a semi-pro team for the last 3 summers. Also, I was on in the MLS draft, which is the equivalent of the NBA and NFL drafts.

Yes, that will help you get a lot of interviews. Will make you stand out. Apply to UNC! We love people who are unique for OOSers

Those scores overall are good, just wish the Biology was maybe 2 points higher. Doable because you just need a few more questions correct in the BIO section. And to hold the other scores

That's funny because UNC is actually one of the seven schools I applied to, and I am a resident of Michigan! I am working on my supplemental for UNC right now. Yeah, I am upset about the BIO score, but I only had a little time to study so I really only studied gen chem. Hopefully, it doesn't kill my chances though.

I was applying to UNC until I saw the class profile and it's literally 1 person from OOS and the rest in NC. I didn't like the chances and I don't have a 28AA so I removed it from my list.

I wasn't sure if waiting to submit until August was too late. Oh well. I'll just keep my fingers crossed.

 

[BWA1991]

Does anyone know if receiving a GRU supplemental is common?

It's sent to every in state applicant.

The difference may be having a 3.1 instead of a 2.9x and thats night and day in the eyes of admissions. Still, you are close to the number and you may get lucky with the interview. Its going to depends on the applicant pool and what makes them interested in you. The assisting will help but thats not unique.

Should he/she retake?

I wouldn't think so. If thats the only score thats lower then its fine. And I think being a D1 athlete shows a lot of dedication. This is someone I would think would get at least several interviews.
