Hey y'all, I applied EDP to the University of Utah and they offered me an assessment day MMI spot on either August 27th or September 7th. If I chose the 27th I would have to do an online interview by Thursday, so I am pretty nervous since I don't have much time to prepare. Since it is EDP, will...

Hey all, (will probably redact this later for anonymity) Stats are as said, 3.5 c/sGPA and 523 MCAT balanced. ORM. Planning to apply next cycle. Should Top20s be a part of my application? What general schools should I target due to asymmetric stats? GPA trend is super upward, from a 2.39 (1st...

Hello! In my PS, I mention treating a suspected terrorist while volunteering on an ambulance in the Middle East. I really like what I say, and I bring no politics or opinions into the paper. I was wondering if this is too risky or if it is ok? If anyone is willing to read my PS and give some...

Hello, I have an odd question. I completed all coursework for my degree in year 2010 and that is the date through which I attended that college (end date). However, I did not file for graduation and receive my diploma until year 2014 (strange story and I didn't need my diploma). Oddly, AMCAS...

Hello, I am currently agonizing between: June 30 test date and getting about 80th+ percentile or waiting until July 22 and getting a 90th+ percentile or doing BOTH to get reviewed early. I am great at test taking strategy, just need to cram in more content. Also, I am still trying to finish...
