reapplicant

I just got my new mcat score today. I am slightly concerned with my new CARS though. Wondering what my chances are for allopathic and what schools I should apply to out of my state. I have already submitted secondaries for florida schools in the past few weeks (kind of late), GW Stats: White...

I spent the last year hoping to get into medical school and working three (non-clinical) jobs to support the process. As such, between last year's application and my current application, not a lot changed. Since submitting my application, I begun several new clinical activities that I am eager...

Does anyone know if you're a reapplicant do you need to make a new personal statement? I called ICO and they said I didn't because if I get a supplemental application there should be a part on it where I explain what I've done since I applied last. Are other schools similar in that sense? Thanks

Hi there! If you are looking at my thread then you know I need some advice. I am female and have been dating my fiance for four years. He is spending time abroad this year while I work full-time as a medical scribe and apply to medical school. Originally, I submitted my primary application to...

Hola, This is my third time to apply to medical school. I am debating about whether or not I should submit my AMCAS application to my desired schools before receiving my MCAT results. I am holding back because I don't want schools to see my old scores, but I also don't know how much of the...

Hey SDN...just wanted to get something off my chest. I went into the match last year with 11 EM interviews...contacted by my number one program saying they were very interested in my application so of course, I ranked them first. Match day came and went...didn't match into EM. Ended up in a...

I posted this in the PreMed D.O. Forum but realized this may be a better location for this. Hello. So my situation is as follows: I was, am, in a Post Bac program. It is a 2 years masters program. I applied to DO schools last year, while I was in my second year of the program, but I sent my...

To the short of it, I was at PGY-1 in a categorical residency and had to leave due to some family crises. I left about 8-9 months into my intern year. I understand GME funding is not available or at least limited for repeating years of categorical programs. Does this extend to my circumstance...

Hello, So I'm reapplying this year and I've started getting secondaries. Some of the schools I'm reapplying to have checkboxes about reapplying or have questions along the lines of "what's different about your application this year" but some don't. Do the schools that don't ask still know that...

Hi! I applied last cycle and received a few interview offers at a very wide range of schools: Duke, UCSF, GW, SUNY Downstate, NYMC. My SUNY and NYMC interview invites came pretty late in the game. I was also being excessively picky, so I politely turned down both these interviews. I realize...

Do we know what percent of dentist were reapplicants?

Stressed out from writing my primaries so I'm cooling off on here. Yea... this sux. Whenever I share my story I get inundated with questions like "wtf did you do" or "did you fail?" I did neither; in fact, every part of my app felt right when I first applied. Many "right" things won't...

So with 4 waitlists to texas schools in june I am going to re apply. i got a new rec letter and am going to keep my old letters (except one). I wanted to ask how I should approach my personal statement? Can I still use some of my old material? Also should I apply to out of state schools? Did not...

So I’m probably going to end up having to reapply this cycle. I had a much better cycle (at least in terms of getting interviews) than I had expected but it looks like it wasn’t meant to be. Some basic information: Asian Male Large Research University Lizzy M ~75-76, CA resident ECs...

Hi, all! So I am reapplying and used the transfer data option. All my old coursework was added, nice! Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows if I have to resend transcripts? I graduated before I submitted my app last year so everything is already completed on my transcripts. However, I do have...

Could somebody please give me feedback on my school list? Here's a short summary of my stats: - Undergrad at U Toronto with a Physiology Specialist, consistent upward trend, cGPA at 3.63 (3.8 without first year). Similar sGPA, but my first year pre-reqs are obv on the low side. - Wrote old MCAT...

I got positive feedback on my last personal statement, and the experience is one that I think truly played a very large role in my pursuit of medicine, beyond anything new I have done in my gap year. Instead of scrapping the whole thing and rewriting a new (potentially weaker) one, could I...

Hi everyone! Just thought I'd seek out some advice from anyone to see if they had any ideas of something I could do to boost up my application. I am sitting on 2 WL from both of the schools at which I interviewed. Stats: 4.0 sGPA 3.98 cGPA 29 MCAT- retaking in mid-June ECs: 350 hours of...

Like a lot of you out there, I'm kind of in a bind. Any advice or input would be much appreciated! As it stands currently, I am holding 4 waitlists from the 2015-2016 cycle (1 high priority, 1 middle tier, 2 unspecified). I had originally thought that my chances were relatively good (3.75 GPA...

Hi, Everyone! Was hoping to get some advice for my sort of odd situation. I have taken the MCAT multiple times (I know...not ideal at all and should've planned much better, but trying to move forward). Applied to med school (secondaries were complete a little late-end of Aug/mid sept)...

Hi all, this is my first time posting in SD! Until now I have only stalked hundreds of forums. :) I would really appreciate any insight about my application, i.e. what you think may be the weakest part of my application and what it is that may have held me back from getting accepted my first...

As the thread title suggests... calling schools for feedback for my possible (probable) reapplication. I applied with a 4.0/34 (12/10/12, summer 2014 exam) fairly late in the cycle due to committee letter (submitted AMCAS in June and all secondaries within 2 weeks) and received all interviews...

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 applied to medical school for this fall, all DO schools plus 2 MD schools in the Caribbean. I was accepted to the ones in the Caribbean, but I really want to be a DO. I've decided to turn down the acceptances and reapply to DO. My MCAT score was 496 (I'm already planning on retaking this)...

I applied for MD/PhD last cycle and did not get any interviews or acceptances. I think I know where my weaknesses are - MCAT and GPA. My undergrad GPA was poor as I was ill most of the time, but postbac work proved I could do better (3.9 for three years). I'm in process of applying for master's...
