reapplicant

Hello, everyone. Thanks for stopping in. I applied 15+ MD schools in last cycle, and didn't receive any interview invitations. In this cycle, I applied 16 MD and 4 DO schools, and am still waiting for responses from most of the schools, with few rejections. My background includes: 140 hours -...

Hi all, welcome to my first thread/post. I'm currently applying, but due to some family/life situations I had going on in the summer, my apps went out Sep-Oct. I've been lucky to get one II from a reach, but I was wondering, would it be best to withdraw from the other schools I haven't heard...

I am planning on reapplying next cycle. The stats I graduated with last year were cGPA 3.51, sGPA 3.28 (upward trend), 500. I applied really late last time, but was able to get waitlisted at Touro NY. I am planning to retake the MCAT. I wanted to know if it is a waste of time/money or worth it...

Could you tell me your experience and any tips? Thank you!

I applied to optometry schools last year and I did get into two schools (PCO and MCPHS) but the classes were filled because I applied late in the cycle. I did not get acceptances from other schools due to my low GPA. Now, I am in a 9 month Masters program and will be graduating in May. I am...

I am an Asian male who has graduated from college in May of 2018. I applied this current cycle, but I think I am going to have to reapply since I still haven't heard back from school, and am finishing my last two secondaries now. I want to prepare for a worst-case scenario. If you guys could let...

Hi all, I wanted to provide you with information regarding my application cycle for the entering class of 2016 (and subsequently 2018), which I thought may be helpful for fellow re-applicants out there. I want to give you hope and tell you that, if you really want something, try as hard as you...

Wondering how medical school reapplicants look to Ontario medical schools. I would like to apply in third year to gain some interview experience but would not like it to adversely affect my application in fourth year.

Hi everyone, So two summers ago I applied for Optometry school and did not get the results I wanted. I'm pretty sure it was due to my OAT scores since I scored low on them. Since then I started an MPH program and I have decided to reapply to Optometry school. I'm getting tutoring now and I plan...

Hello all. I am nontraditional reapplicant hoping to apply broadly this year. I am also curious about whether or not you all think I have a shot at MD schools. I will be applying to both MD and DO but am more concerned with my MD school list right now. Stats: 3.1 Undergrad cGPA/sGPA (without...

I couldn't find this discussed anywhere as it is pretty specific. I am writing a particular secondary essay regarding "challenges in becoming a physician". The challenge that I have identified is actually exemplified in an MMI from the school I am a reapplicant to. Essentially my question is...

I will be reapplying this cycle, applied very late in the cycle last year and didn't interview anywhere until after most classes had been filled. I took my MCAT in 2016, when a 508 was more competitive, I worry about it now. I submitted my primary on the first day and am done with almost all of...

I failed to report institutional action on my first AMCAS application. The instances were in my freshman and sophomore years of college and did not result in probation of any sort. The first, I was involved with a "dorm party" and written up. The second, I received a Minor in Possession of...

Hey everybody, I am a US citizen that graduated from one of the big four Caribbean medical schools (AUA). I initially started at SGU (another big four Carib school) and transferred over during 2nd year after withdrawing due to poor academic performance. I passed all my board exams on the first...

So I recently took the MCAT again, previous score 501 126/123/127/125, new score is 505 126/126/126/127, I thought I was gonna get a much better score but I messed up bad in bio. Anyways I am worried that the 4 point increase doesn't look like a good enough increase for a reapplicant. Last year...

Hello everyone, Here I am applying for the third cycle! Purpose of post: I really want this to be my last cycle. Not sure of any specific questions, but please inform me of your impressions/concerns. What I learned from the first cycle: I made a poor list (MSAR showed internationals mostly got...

This is my first time posting on SDN, and I am looking for some help. I just graduated college this May. I have applied to MD schools the last two cycles and I have only received an interview at my state school each time. On the bright side, I was waitlisted each time. However, I am now staring...

Hello, I am a reapplicant, however, I did not submit my secondaries and was wondering if I needed to completely change my personal statement. I have a strong overall Application, and I like my PS. Most forums have said to re-do PS for those who are reapplying. However, If I never Submitted my...

Hi guys/gals, I am finishing my primaries to reapply this cycle while I'm enrolled at Midwestern's 1 year Biomedical Science Master program. I'm wondering if anyone has any comments/suggestions of schools I should add/remove. Not looking to spend thousands of dollars on app's either...

Hello all, I am reapplying to dental school right now and have a few questions about the AADSAS reapplication cylce. Do they keep my transcripts from last cycle? I graduated a few years back so my transcripts have not changed. Do I need to request them from my schools and pay to have them...

Hello, I'm a re-applicant due to a low MCAT score as well as applying too late in the cycle (called some schools that rejected me and found this out). A school told me that my experiences were "good", and some other schools seemed to like my personal statement, but I'm reading on here and on...

I'm in the process of reapplying to dental school and I'm wondering what exactly schools want in an "updated" letter of recommendation. Other than asking the writers to update the date, what exactly would be the best way to approach this?

I already reviewed and finalized, but then realized I did have a W freshman year and took the same class second semester BUT I didn't mark that down as a retake. Is that considered a retake? Is that something I can request to edit because it's not letting me open that section again!!! Any help...

Hi all, I applied MD last year and was accepted to one school, but I turned them down because of personal reasons and to pursue opportunities in my lab at school. My PI at home is extremely accomplished and well-known in the field, but our work is not very clinical (fMRI scans of NASA...
