Hi everyone, I'm a woman who wears hijab and also has been engaged for more than a year. I wear a simple diamond ring on my left hand, and swap between wearing my headscarf the "classic" way that looks obviously Muslim and a style that is more like a head-wrap (showing my neck). I'm a...

I was signed up to continue my fire education with a second class from September to November and I mentioned this in my AMCAS application and many of my secondaries for the "what're your plans" prompt. I've very luckily received 4 interviews as now. I couldn't schedule them so I wouldn't miss at...

Hey guys! Does anyone know what schools look at when screening candidates for interviews? Is it just GPA’s and OAT scores? My situation is that I don’t have a consistent grade trend. Some semesters I did well and others I didn’t. I also have some D’s and F’s that I’ve retaken a little too...

In the past week, I've received 4 interview slots all for the end of August/beginning of September. What I'm worried about is having 3 in a span of two weeks at the end of August and having to miss about a week of school for them. All of the schools are at least a 5-hour drive there and back. I...

I was trying to look for a thread where people can post interview invites and decided to create one myself! Please write the school name, date of interview invite and date of the interview! Good luck everyone :clap:;):thumbup:

UPMC sending out interviews Indiana University filled Feel free to update any new information

Hi folks! Had some questions regarding the level of applicant I am for Gen Surg, and the types of programs I could reasonably be a good applicant for. Goals wise- I'd like to head into academics in the future, and do a residency in a bigger city (mostly as this provides my SO with good job...

Do most schools email or call? If they can't reach you on the phone, will they end up emailing? Asking because I will be out of the country in August and I'm afraid that I won't be able to receive calls. Thanks!

For interviews (school, job, etc), should a woman like me who is 5'9 wear heels?

Hey all. So here's a quick breakdown of my situation: I've learned I failed my Step 2 CS. It's early February, so I am very close to Match Day. I am able to retake the test, but that is going to happen literally the week before match. So far, one school knows about the failed CS (school I...

I am curious to know whether the academic update is required or not. I took a lot of upper level classes such as anatomy and biochemistry. Unfortunately I fell sick due to sinus problems for a while which impacted my GPA tremendously. I applied with a 3.5 but now my GPA fell to 3.35. I have...

I'm a current psychiatry resident at the University of Chicago. It's a great program and I'd definitely pick it again. Wanted to post here so any applicants who interviewed with us this year (or who are interested in interviewing next year) can post questions. Feel free to post here or PM me.

As a fellow Canadian Citizen who is born and raised in Canada. The system to comeback into a residency is extremely difficult. The next little bit will outline the grotesque nature of the system and how convoluted and unfair it is towards IMGs despite their BS guidelines. Get some popcorn...

Hello Everyone, How do people handle with multiple school offers that are staggered? For example, I have some offers and given 2 weeks to make a decision. But I am still interviewing and waiting to hear from other schools. Do people usually pay the deposit to save a seat and withdraw from the...

Hi! I'm from California but go to med school on the east coast. I'm hoping to come home for residency and am a pretty competitive applicant, but don't know much about these programs beyond their websites and heresay from people at least three times removed (e.g. "I've heard people say it used to...

Hello Everyone, I am currently in a tough situation regarding pharmacy schools and master programs. I have applied to many schools from in state and out of state. I applied to the following schools: University of Touro, PharmD. (Vallejo, CA) - No Interview California Northstate (Sacramento...

Has anyone applied to Dominican University for Fall 2018? Did you hear anything in-regards to upcoming interviews?

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could give me advice. I have a bunch of interviews coming up in the next few months. It seems schools are interested in me. I have a handful of poor grades (C range and below) in prerequisites. Some of them are as recent as can be; some are not. There is no...

Seems like every IMG on this site has scored a 250 who is getting IVs. Would like to hear the experience of those with lower scores. I had a disappointing 219 on step 1. I'm an undergraduate in my home country. I only want to do neurology but I don't know how much of a red flag that score is...

Hi guys, I'm in a bit of a difficult situation (a good kind of difficult, though). As of now, I have been blessed enough to have been accepted to 4 MD schools, 2 of which I would happily attend. I have interviewed at 6 others, and am waiting to hear back from them. For this, I am extremely...

I just received an invite for an interview at UC! Are there any current medical students or students who have interviewed with them already this cycle that can shed some light on the interview process? Do you have any suggestions/comments regarding the MMI format and how to prepare?

Hello, First post here because super upset. I'm not sure if anyone else is in this situation but since decisions were released this Monday, I heard from 3 schools so far, and all of them were waitlists. Not only does this make me doubt the other interviews I already did (these schools only...

Good evening, My question regards interviews. As of now, I have been blessed enough to have received 10 interview offers. I applied to a lot of schools, apparently underestimating my competitiveness. Of course, different schools will offer different financial aid packages, and I have heard of...

Hi everyone! I've been complaining about how I never learned Spanish in high school so I decided to finally do something about it so I don't ever have regrets. My first question is, do you/ someone you know have the experience of going from zero to fluent in a language you just started...

Hi everyone! I noticed that a thread to chat about applying to med-peds programs was missing and thought I would start one assuming there's interest. Where are y'all getting interview invites? Perhaps we can follow the format of past years: ~*~*~Official 2015-2016 Med-Peds Interview Thread~*~*~

Created this form (like to 2017 one - Pedo 2017) for people to post interview invites and info as they start to roll in this cycle. Good luck everybody! Please bold the new interviews as you post them so it's easy to keep track of =)

I'd say I'm an upper middle stat applicant complete in mid July: 3.89/3.9 sGPA and 3.91/3.92 cGPA, MCAT 519 (CARS was low about 126 but bio biochem 132), decent ECs and a gap year right now, but no interviews so far. I applied to about 30 top 50 schools and my State schools. I know it is early...

Hey all -- am looking for some useful resources for writing a med school personal statement. Be it online, in a book or even just some personal insight/advice from your own experiences. Radiology residency is the goal, but will need to prep 2 versions at least -- one radiology-focused and one...

While I'm a TX resident, I'm out of the state most of the year. I heard from a previous applicant that TX schools are pretty good about coordinating interviews. I noticed today they don't have identical interview seasons, and I'd imagine the interview invites come rolling in not at the same time...

Hi everyone! I'm going to be a senior in the fall, and I will be submitting my OD applications this summer on July 1st, 2017 (taking OAT August 7th). However, I will be studying abroad in London, England mid-September to the end of December. I was just wondering how this will work with receiving...
