You might have some problems with Maryland (unless your a resident of that state). Otherwise, I think you will have a good shot.
 
added university of michigan, upenn, and harvard interviews...

Are you in the right thread?
 
hes definetly on the correct page, he is actually updating his stats, unlike a lot of people.

Thanks guys or gals.
I am sure that your dat scores are high enough to balance out the GPA. Good lucks

CaliNY, why did you withdrew all CA schools? not even consider UOP, or USC?
 
Ecdoesit: "CaliNY, why did you withdrew all CA schools? not even consider UOP, or USC?"

I think you misread my post...I withdrew from creighton, unc, meharry, marquette, ubuffalo, oregon.

I am applying to All CA SCHOOLS, Case, BU, Tufts, UNLV, Arizona, Upenn, temple, nyu, nova.

Invterviews at NYU, UNLV, and Case Western
 
ok, sorry about that.
i m still waiting for my schools to reply.
 
i am wondering why you withdrew from creighton. they don't interview people and so you may have gotten an acceptance from them without having to spend anymore money.
 
i got my first rejection to Meherry today.😱

is that such a big factor in Meharry and Howard's selection? they don't care if you have good grades?

How about starting a follow up thread the "2004 accepted thread" when the acceptances begin trickling in.
 
So far, for 61 SDNers who posted their stats, the average AA is 20.8, and the average PAT is 18.7. I'm sorry, but that is just insane.
 
is that low or high?
u should check their gpa too

Dont worry, there will be one, if somebody else doesnt start it I will. Probably need to wait till within a week before Dec. 1st though so its not pushed way back in the list of threads. They had one last year and it was a great thread.
 
then, dont forget a thread for total application cost.
with feedbacks to which schools to apply

ajsmo,
are you for real? how come you are not applying to more prestegious schools??

Comet
 
Comet,

I want to go to OHSU. It's a great school with nice facilities and very high clinical standards. Look at their admissions stats, they are some of the highest in the country. Which schools do you consider "prestigious"?
 
Comet was more than likely referring to

Columbia
Harvard
Penn
Tufts
UCLA
Temple
Washington

Just to name a few. But if your counting on getting into your state school then I wouldn't have applied to many others either.
 
I'm with ajsmo. All those "prestigious" schools are expensive! Give me a solid state school any day.
