I think many of you will agree that today is a great day to officially prepare for the May 22nd MCAT!!!

I was against the April 2015 MCAT because a typical 3 month schedule doesn't seem to work for
students and/or working test takers. With a little over 4 months of preparation we can go in with confidence!
It's all new and really scary--so let's kick MCAT butt together!!

I was also wondering, wouldn't many professional MCAT test takers and tutors want to take the MCAT 2015 as soon
as possible (April MCAT) so they can better they're material or teaching? Wouldn't that just destroy the curve?

yeah ik what school i'm going to but i'm kinda bummed to only have gotten 3 II. ik some people want to kill me for saying that but...maybe i was overly optimistic? I'm kinda just assuming the silences are rejections at this point tho

I feel the same way. 4 II, 1 acceptance and a waitlist that kills me. Iowa is accepting people after my date, so that is not looking good. I have a feeling no more interviews are coming. But it is hard to feel bad when I have an acceptance and other great people are still waiting. I didn't think I would kill it, but I hoped for more than one acceptance. I guess I don't interview well after all.
BTW, MMI was so much better than a traditional interview for me.

So did you have any school on the list that you just KNEW would interview you, but didn't? I was so sure that Rush or Loyola would interview me. My summer ECs were all in Chicago, I live 35 minutes from Chicago and I had a ton of volunteering hours. No love from Chicago at all, but interviews at three OOS publics. What about everyone else?

For some reason I really thought I was going to get an interview from Rochester. I have no idea why, but they gave me the ax a few months ago :p
Have you gotten an interview from UIC?

I am OOS for Illinois. I am a Region Rat in Indiana. I thought maybe Rochester too because of the liberal arts feel.

I can't listen to music really for studying. I either need it to be really quiet, or if I'm listening to something I listen to some type of white noise. I'm boring that way haha

do you know anyone who interviewed at washu early and has heard back?

In real life I only really know one person who has applied this cycle haha, but I'm guessing you mean on SDN? But either way, it looks like only a really small amount of people have heard back from Wash U so far. I still don't even have my Dean's Cert checked off yet.

Haha gotcha. But yeah idk what kind of order they're even going in, if any. Someone was outright accepted like two weeks after interviewing somehow.

It isn't Christmas for me without Love Actually, Die Hard, Rudolph and Nightmare Before Christmas.

Ahh I forgot about Rudolph! I haven't seen that one in forever. I always consider Nightmare Before Christmas to be a Halloween movie, tho. And I've never seen Love Actually or Die Hard.

I interviewed in early september and haven't heard from Wash U yet. They do it regionally. So in other words, I'm in the NE. So even tho I was one of their first interview dates, I won't hear back until they accept/reject the NE people
Click to expand...
so what region are they in right now? do they need to accept a certain number of people from each region or something?

And of course I start getting sick the day before I fly to TN for my interview. Part of me thinks it is the chipotle outbreak.

Yea I had it Thursday. I felt stomach cramps yesterday. I thought it was indigestion, took pepto bismol and it got better. Then I started feeling it again a few hours ago.
