CycleTrack and SDN are teaming up to make medical school admissions more transparent and accessible! Read the announcement to learn how we’re supporting the future of CycleTrack’s free application-tracking tools .
Get help with your application
Use all the free resources available to you from SDN: articles, guides, expert advising, forums discussions, and school research.
The UC's are all different...in this, and every regard.
Generally speaking, an immediate re-application after an interview/rejection is not high yield.
Secondaries are often a tax on the hopelessly naïve, if not pathologically optimistic.
How about immediate reapp after interview->WL and fixing prior weaknesses?
On a similar note if one gets waitlisted I'm under the impression that there arent large weaknesses since the school decided to extend an interview. While there are parts of the app that could be strengthened, it seems like it would be kind of marginal. Obviously interview performance could be improved but you cant really convey that in paper applications so what is there to be done? I suppose taking an extra 2 years would allow someone to mature though.
It still varies a lot by school, and by candidate.
The most common weakness among re-applicants to the UC (who were interviewed) is difficult to fix in less than a year.
Could you elaborate on what that weakness is?
Communication skills.
Not nervousness. That's normal.
Inability to understand questions
Being a babbling idiot
Saying what the interviewee thinks the interviewer wants to hear instead of speaking from the heart.
Having a flat effect
Talking in monosyllables
Coming off as dishonest or smarmy
Gunner behavior
OH NO. I talk like kermit.
Better that than Beaker or the Swedish Chef.
