2016-2017

Hey everyone, I wanted to offer out some help to those who want it. Currently I am bored and home for the summer. Therefore, to entertain myself and help others I decided to do an AMA on applying, interviews, traveling to interviews, December 1st, pre-December and post-December interviews...

I had three interviews so far but it's already midway into November. Should I expect any more interviews realistically or no? Schools I'm waiting on include VCU, Stony, Buffalo, Boston University, UPenn, Temple. Thank you.

Ok, so I've used the search function (UTSF), the google machine and my pre-med adviser to no avail... When are we supposed to file our FAFSA now that we can in October? I have one acceptance, a bunch of interviews scheduled and some I'm still waiting to hear back from. My pre-med adviser told me...

I thought it might be nice to have a thread specifically for the Utah Campus. Please post your opinions, concerns, or excitement about interviewing or matriculating to RVUCOM-SU. Hopefully some discussion between us all about the campus will help us think clearly about the pro's and con's of...

Edited to reflect lack of official decision. Post your acceptances here! DO NOT ERASE THESE INSTRUCTIONS! 1) click reply on the most recent list 2) delete the QUOTE tags on the top and bottom 3) add your user name, (Interview date, Acceptance date, any other pertinent info, and if needed, add...

Here's the idea: let's try something slightly different this year. Instead of only a list of usernames and acceptances, it occurred to me that a few years ago, I would have loved to see people say what they thought were their reasons they couldn't get accepted and/or shouldn't try. What did you...

I know that SDN is a small community in comparison to the applicant pool, but I can't help but feel anxious seeing the amount of people who are receiving interview invites already (most have mail out dates in June or July). I'm concerned about whether or not I'd get a Pre-December interview as...

Hello, I thought it might be nice to have a thread for those of us who have gone and done the silly thing of doing the PhD before medical school. For some of us, this was a decision to seize an opportunity and for others it was a discovery of the love of medicine during the PhD. At any rate...

Applying for the Early Decision Program at the Medical College of Georgia, for the 2016-2017 application cycle. – AMCAS submitted 6/7/2016. Verified 6/8/2016. – MCAT: 511 (124/130/127/130) – cGPA: 3.74 – sGPA: 3.63 – Undergrad: BS, Biology; AS, Chemistry (graduated 2016 from a state university...

Howdy all, I was thinking that we could make a thread with a list of schools who have their secondaries on their website, so that people who've applied to these schools dont just wait around for nothing. I'd hope that most of these schools would email applicants saying that their primary has...

When I planned my application process and mcat scores, I did not realize there was a thing as too late. After all with most school deadlines in October, I assumed I would have as equal chances as any other applicant no matter when I applied. I am in my application process right now, but I'm...

Hi all, I've noticed that there are plenty of threads from around 2011+ with people listing their stats as underdogs with respective acceptances, interviews, time of verification, etc. I was wondering if someone had made a thread like this for the 2016-2017 application cycle, as those previous...

I am applying for medical schools this summer. I have a reasonable MCAT (514) and strong GPA (4.0), I have research experience, and I was fairly involved on campus in my undergad (various club officer positions and tutoring science). I shadowed quite a lot as well (over 100 hours). My volunteer...

Hello everyone, I am selling a brand new 2016-2017 Kaplan pcat book and the 2016 update for the Dr Collins PCAT. Both are brand new and have only been opened and examined once. Unfortunately, I am unable to return either one since I missed the return deadline. So, I have to try and resell both...

So as many of you may know the PCAT is changing starting in July 2016. I'm interested in finding out if there is a difference between Dr. Collins 15-16 version and the 16-17 version being that verbal ability is now removed + more passage based questions associated with Chem/Bio. Do you think...

Howdy, finally my turn to give this a shot. Please let me know what you think my chances are with the following details: Race: White Male. College: I attend a top tier liberal arts college in PA. I am a NY resident, however. Major: Biochemistry GPA trend has been fairly decent (Semester System)...

Hi everyone! As the 2017 AMCAS apps opened today, I'm really trying to nail down a list of where to go. My question is, what schools are the most cut-throat, which schools rank their students, etc. I am smart and went to a competitive undergraduate and do NOT want this kind of environment in...

Hey everyone. I was accepted to Midwestern's MBS (2 year program) starting August 2016 and was wondering if there was anyone else out here on SDN who was thinking about applying, sent in their application, placed on hold, or accepted or anything in between lol Feel free to chime in. Maybe we...

I apologize in advance for the length, but the text is important to supplement my questions below. For those reading, thank you for your time. I am planning on reapplying this coming cycle as an MD/PhD (I applied for 2015 entry as MD). Reason for my rejections I found out through my interview...

I started this forum to keep all of us posted on what is going on with the people who were denied from the 2016 Medical/Dental class. However, they were being considered for the MHS program that is invitation only. My letter said I would hear back in Mid- March. Has anyone gotten any updates?

Good Evening Ya'll !! New to SDN. Couldn't find a thread about the MSMHS Program at Touro-CA so I decided to get the ball rolling :) Almost done with my application. Should have it sent in in the next 2-3 days. Waiting on the answers to a few questions I had about the application from Ms...

Hi, I am a Canadian undergraduate student who is interested in applying to CUHK and HKU. I haven't seen any threads for Non-JUPAS applicants 2016-2017, so I created this. Are there any students who have been successful with applying from Canada? It would be greatly appreciated if you can share...
