Everyone on SDN should pray that this 37 MCAT wizard gets into medical school. I would cry if I had to retake such an excellent score.

I'm supporting you, man!

No worries man, I already have an acceptance ;)
Just thought it would be a dick move to talk about my acceptance in a thread about rejections.
I definitely was glad I got in, I did not want to sit through the monstrosity that is the 2015 MCAT.

I have literally not heard back from 99% of my schools. Seeing so many people with II's, Holds, Rejections, JUST PLAIN NEWS and then not getting to hear back from almost everywhere despite being done with apps almost two months ago makes me wonder what happened....

Rejected from Mayo, Tulane, Dartmouth, and Lerner. Complete mid July to mid August at most schools. 3.7 GPA and MCAT around 520. Really surprised to hear nothing back from my state school(s).
 
Rejected from 9 schools already !! :boom:
Rejected: BU, Dartmouth, UC Davis (IS), Oakland, Georgetown, UCSF, Rochester, U of wash (applied in error, out of region), and Tulane

Only 2 II s so far, one from a reach and one from a relative safer. :cyclops:
GPA 3.6 Sgpa 3.39 (bad freshman year, this is the bane of my existence and prolly why all the rejections) 517 MCAT.

Really scared right now since there's only 17 schools left inThe running and only prolly 14 of those with a realistic chance....:(

Should I prepare to reapply?!?

Man that's nerve-wrecking. I've only got 2 IIs, too (one from IS school and one from a relative reach). There's still time before Thanksgiving so I'd wait for a bit. Also there's a new school in Vegas that you should check out http://forums.studentdoctor.net/thr...e-receives-preliminary-accreditation.1226120/

Rejected from Georgetown, Davis (IS) and Missouri Columbia (where I interviewed before :dead:)....one II for next week....hoping for the best!

Edit: waiting impatiently to hear back from 17 other schools...
 
Are most of these rejections (for pre-II) that you guys have listed notified by email or only in the portal after you checked? All of mine so far have been early and by email, so when I checked the individual portals a few weeks ago, I only found no status or pre-II holds. I'm wondering if I should check again for schools I haven't heard anything from, or I can just assume that since I haven't received an email rejection I'm still in the running? (lazy to check all the portals because I applied to A LOT of schools...). Thanks to anyone who can comment!

Most schools are courteous enough to send an email. Or even a letter.

If they have sent out rejections to applicants who were complete after you. You are still in the running.

I have received only rejections from school so far, and most of these rejections started to roll in since 2 weeks ago.
Wish good news is on the way.
 
my boyfriend was rejected post secondary (pre II) from Tulane with a 520 and 4.0 gpa (c and s) and research. He did some intel after the reject. They appear to select older students with a masters or non-trad students with life experience. They like the Ivy's. If that is what they want, would not have been a good fit for him, but they rejected him quickly in the cycle. Is interesting because their rank is not that high. Not sure how they can be so selective.

Harvard? :)
 
To the people rejected from OUWB don't feel bad. OUWB is an odd school because they know EXACTLY what they want in an applicant and if you don't fit that mold, you're out. They want medium-high stats and a lot of community service. Like A LOT.

Rejected from OUWB, UofA-P, Western Michigan, Lecom-B
3 II - Lecom-E, AZCOM, Rosalind Franklin

3.44 cGPA, 3.24 sGPA, 510 MCAT

Mcat plays a role. My cousin who has the same GPA as me but ~502 mcat has no II
