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.

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...

I am aware of the sentiment surrounding this topic. I was accepted to one OOS school and denied at my state school. I am very thankful for my acceptance and liked this school when I interviewed. I am going forward with everything to attend in the fall, but here are the stress inducing things...
I'll be a reapplicant for the 2016-17 cycle. The one thing I can't find information on is how to go about the 15 "Meaningful Things" part of the application. I have some new things to add from supplemental work, volunteering, etc. As an "Old Pre-med"; however, most my 15 things are based on my...
Hey everyone,
As you can tell by the title of the thread I will be applying for the 3rd time to dental school, and am hoping the expression "third times the charm" really applies here. Anyways, I would like to know what some of you who are either already in dental school or are accepted to...
I am reapplying to medical school this June of 2016 and I was wondering if I'd have a better chance this year. I'm also wondering if I'd be competitive for MD/PhD programs in public health related areas.

I applied in the 2016 cycle and received one interview and was placed on the alternate list at 1 MD school. I applied to one DO school and was accepted. I really don't mind attending a DO school, but for many reasons, did not end up liking the one I applied to. If I reapply next year, can I get...
Hi everyone
After a couple waitlists I've been working on a plan for a second gap year and had a few questions about how to approach my next year reapplying. I feel comfortable with my application with regards to gpa/mcat, research, clinical experience and shadowing, LORs, PS, but one aspect I...
Hey all!
I'm a longtime lurker on this site, and I just wanted to share where I am so far in the app cycle. I am hoping to gain some advice on how to proceed, so please bear with me as this post may be long!

So this is my first cycle applying. Non trad, late applicant (complete Nov., secondaries all done by Jan. 1), only applied to DO. So far received 1 preinterview hold (AZCOM) and 3 interviews. All 10 schools sent me a II. Of the interviews, I have one rejection (WesternU COMP), one wait list...

Hello,
I applied for the medical admissions cycle this past year, and got only one II. At this point, I am planning to reapply this coming cycle and was wondering what are potential issues with my application.
Information regarding my 2015-2016 application:
MCAT: 33 (12, 12, 10) on my 2nd...
Hey there everyone,
I was lucky enough to have 2 II so far this cycle but since the post-II decisions won't be made until much later I want to make sure that I have a Plan B in place in case things do not work out this cycle.
Here is some information regarding my 2015-2016 application:

Hi SDN! I need some advice on what to do!
Graduated from a top 25 undergrad with a 3.46 cGPA/3.21 sGPA, 33 MCAT. I applied to ~30 MD schools this cycle and its not looking good currently.

What are some good upper division science courses to take in order to increase my science GPA before reapplying? I'm trying to decide on which one to takeand more options or recommendations would be great to look into.
So I applied this year and unfortunately have received no II’s, I know it’s not over yet, but it’s getting late. So I’m writing to get some advice on what to do for the next cycle as my situation is complicated. My stats are a little low for MD but I thought I made up for it with ECs, grad...
So, I just found out that I was denied admission to OSU. I was also denied admission to CSU; which was partly expected considering I'm OOS. But, the rejection from OSU, my IS, really, really, really, bummed me out to say the least. I didn't even get so far as to have an interview...

I didn't get into dental school this cycle and I was told that I could just transfer all of the information from the last cycle to this one. But I tried logging in to my AADSAS account and it is not allowing me to. Any advice??

Hi! It's looking as if I will probably have to be a reapplicant next year. I had one early MD interview and was rejected post-interview. I still haven't heard from many schools, but I was complete at most late July so it's not looking good. I know that my MCAT is my weak point so I'm planning to...
