cycle

I want to preface this by saying I am deeply humbled and grateful to have received an interview from Neomed. But so far it is my only II. I know people say not to freak out till Thanksgiving, but Neomed has like a 40% post interview acceptance (48% in-state according to admit data; it seems like...

Welcome to the UTCVM applicant page for class of 2026! Good luck to everyone!!

Applied to ~25 schools and haven’t heard anything from 1 school sending secondary. It’s been over a month since I completed my AMCAS. I understand COVID is pushing back the schedule, but I haven’t even received secondaries from schools that don’t screen. Is anyone else in this position? What, if...

I have came across different threads that pertain to the process of asking for letters of rec, but what I am wondering is if is there a way I can talk to my professors and have them send me a letter of rec that I can save somewhere, or if I should tell them to save the letter until I send them...

I am a ORM white male in Texas with a 3.3 GPA and a 2.8-3.0 BCPM GPA (I majored in nutrition and am unsure if certain classes will be counted). I have 332 hours of combined shadowing and 2 internships one from a local pediatric center and one from MD. Anderson in Leukemia, as well as research in...

The title speaks for itself. Thank you all for your input.

Where I Stand: > earned B.A. in history from UCLA; 3.17 sGPA, 3.5 oGPA; slight upward trend > 2 waitlists (USC, UDM); 2 rejections (Loma Linda, Midwestern-AZ); 8 still under review > pessimistic; will start preparing for upcoming cycle > have already taken a bunch of recommended classes...

So I am really starting to freak out reading some of the stats on here. Everyone is so impressive, it's making me feel like I have no chance at getting in anywhere. I definitely started all of my experiences/observations way too late and got a super low GRE score. Can someone be honest and give...

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if it is generally considered a good sign if you are interviewing at a school early in their cycle? I know dental school is rolling and your personal interview is obviously a big factor, but since decisions don't come until December is their any advantage or...

I'm currently filling out my ERAS and reading up on past advice. From my understanding, applicants were previously unable to include bullet points/dashes in their applications due to a formatting issue with ERAS. However, I have found no issue with this. Perhaps they fixed this? I've also read...

hi all, been reading through the other threads but still can't gauge where i'm at, so if you could help thank youu applied last cycle with 508 mcat, 400+ combined hrs shadowing (2 diff drs), 1000+ hrs hospital volunteering at 2 diff places, 3.9 cGPA, 3.8 sGPA, various leadership and ECs, 2 yrs...

The advice I see most commonly is to apply broadly. Getting into med school is very challenging and it would be foolish to apply to fewer than say 14 schools. I know 14 is the "average" but I'm using SDN wisdom to set the stage for my question to the SDN community. I will be relying entirely...

I am trying to figure out my applicaion list for this 2017 cycle. Im taking the MCAT on 5/18 so ill have a more definitive list when I finally have my score but I would appreciate any advice you can give me on schools to apply for. Really hoping for a baylor acceptance under grad school rank...

Hello! I am in the midst of writing my personal statement for the upcoming cycle. I have gotten various advice from different people regarding how to go about in writing it. Some told me to be creative and unique, without listing out all your accomplishments since that is what the other parts...

Hi everyone! I am a current junior and getting ready to apply in the 2018 cycle for dental schools. I have already taken the DAT and am currently working on my personal statement and getting my LORs situated. I am getting a committee letter from my school, but I am also working to try and...

Hi guys and gals, first post here. I wasn't planning on applying until next cycle (graduate in the fall) but a close friend in podiatry school informed me that a lot of schools had a lot of open seats still. Because of this hes suggesting i apply for this cycle. Isn't it kind of late for this...

My scores: DAT: 22AA, 22TS, 24 PAT, 24 RC, 22 QR, 21 OC, 22GC, 23 BIO GPA: 3.65 Only got 3 interviews so far and waitlisted at 2 of these 3. I applied to ten schools. Kinda unexpected but am I pretty much done at this point or is there still time to for the rest of the schools to send...

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.

Hey everyone, you have probably seen me around here lately. Unfortunately I have only got 1 interview invite (at UNLV) so far and that is set for January.. so it's not looking too great for me. I'm trying to stay positive and am hoping that I will do well on that interview and maybe even get...

Just figured I'd make this thread because A- I'm bored at work B- I also feel the stress and wanted to help out some of my friends on the interview trail So as most of you know, It's interview season! Basically, the single most stressful point of your life thus far, especially if you come to...

Hello everyone, First of all good luck on everyone's application this year. I would like to start to give a little background of myself and some questions I have. I just started my senior year but I am doing an internship abroad for a whole year. Basically, I am working with prevention...

So a school just sent me an email that i've been selected for an interview and they told me to choose a date. I was surprised to see how quickly the dates filled up. I did see the email a bit late, approximately 24 hours after they sent it and they only do interviews once a week so I ended up...

Hey guys, I hope your semester is going well! I just wanted to come here an ask someone who is currently applying or has already applied to med school. What was the general timeline you followed the year you were applying? In terms of personal statement writing, asking for letters of...

Hey everyone, Hope your semester is off to a good start. So just need some advice/insight, especially if you have already taken the MCAT.... please + thank you! I've going to be taking the MCAT in April (tentatively) + was wondering the best route... I had my eyes on The Berkeley Review...

I've posted this before, and I'm sure i'll post it again at some point during this cycle, but chill out. Seriously, its the beginning of September, and there's already threads of people asking how many IIs they should have. By any standard, it is still very early in the cycle. Some schools...

Hi all, I have been fortunate enough this cycle to have a DO acceptance in hand. Needless to say I am elated, however, I'm having difficulty deciding if I should attend two of my other interviews. I have an acceptance at ACOM, and interviews at LUCOM and BCOM. IMHO, I think LUCOM is a pretty...

Hello. So here's a summary of my present situation. I applied early like the first week, finished all my secondaries as soon as they were sent to me as well. However, my school uses a committee letter and they still haven't uploaded it. It's frustrating since I went out of my way to get all my...

Hi Everyone, I saw a few threads that were somewhat similar to this, but couldn't find a case that exactly matched mine, and there didn't seem to be a definitive answer as some threads contradicted others. I'm wondering if applying to schools in one cycle, then re-applying in the next cycle...

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...
