reapplicant

Hi friends, I just got my MCAT yesterday with an unbalanced 511 (130/124/128/129). It was a retake from 509 (131/122/129/127). English is my third language. I have never been good at (interested in) reading. I don’t know if I should apply with this score, or retake the MCAT, or give up on med...

In the final section of our Medical School Reapplicant Advice: 6 Tips for Success series, we’ll discuss how reapplicants should improve, and then present, their experiences. One last factor that can seriously hurt your chances is a lack of substantive, ongoing experiences. Medical schools want...

Hi everyone, I am in need of some advice. I applied to top heavy medical schools for the 2016-2017 cycle and have not received any II. I am thinking of reapplying next cycle and welcome any advice possible. 2016 Biology/Community Health Graduate Currently working as a Research Assistant in a...

Hi all! I applied this past year, and so far have been unsuccessful. I believe I will have to reapply. However, in my 2016 application, I, unfortunately and stupidly, reported an IA that I now know is not on my record, and I don't think it actually counts as an institutional action. I really...

With the multi-staged admissions process, applicants can make an impact at each step – or be weeded out. Your assessment continues by looking at other ways you communicated with the admissions committee, and whether or not they helped you past the next hurdle. Secondaries: Your secondary...

**Reposted from pre-allo thread because I thought it would be more appropriate here** I know this topic has been discussed on here previously but I would like to see what options I have given my specific situation. I applied to all of the Texas schools for the 2017-2018 application cycle in...

I graduated in May '16 and applied to dental school in June. My application was completed early June and all my letters arrived mid-August (later than I wished). I haven't heard back from any school and need advice on what to do next or a critique of the plan I have now. Here are my stats...

I applied to dental school last year, was waitlisted at 2 schools and did not get accepted, unfortunately. I am Canadian. I applied very late last year, around november. This year I applied early, but only recieved one interview so far, to which I was waitlisted at Dec 1. I have a 3.4 GPA...

Hey guys, So I've applied this cycle to all Texas schools and a couple of other OOS but haven't heard anything from them yet. Disappointed and sad as I am, I'm not sure what I should do now. My 3 MCAT is May 2015; 498 Jan 2016: 501 (128-122- 127-124) July 2016: 501 (127-124-125-125) I...

I know it's still "early" in the cycle but my neurotic self can't help but think of back up plans in case I don't get in this cycle. A little background: I am 2, going on 3, years out of college. GPA of 3.5-3.6, slightly lower sGPA. MCAT 512, with uneven performance on verbal (124-126ish). I...

Hey all, I've decided to take the popular advice on this forum and assume I will be a re-applicant until proven otherwise. As such, I have decided to address my lack of non-clinical volunteer work. So I was just wondering if anyone had tips on where to find part time community service...

Hey everyone, I am applying to about 15 MD and 15 DO programs, I would like to keep my options open. I submitted my secondary apps around September so things are a little late at the moment for my chances of getting into a school in this cycle. I was wondering what applicants do while they are...

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).

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...
