Things are going well for me, I suppose. I don't think I've posted to this thread yet, but I sent my AMCAS to about 35 schools. Received about 30 secondaries, and have filled out 17 of them.
Won't be sending in the BU secondary because I didn't realize that they do NOT accept AP credit. So I don't have a year of general chemistry and I don't have a lab either (because I placed out of that sequence.) I'm a little upset about that because I was actually looking forward to writing an essay on the Professionalism of Medicine. I've done some research on that topic and there has been a lot of discussion lately about what it means in the context of today's health care industry.
Anyway...these secondaries are tough. Thankfully I'm good at cutting and pasting. I have about six, 2000 character responses to the general questions (what have you done since College, anything else you want to tell us about, what are your special qualities, explain your research, explain a tough circumstance you've been through, and one or two others.) But there are still difficult secondaries that I haven't tackled yet, like Yale, USC, and Rush.
I don't have an overall opinion on what it's like being a non-trad student applying. I'm fairly competitive with a BSE in Engineering, MS in Biomedical Engineering, good volunteer experience in and out of the medical field, interesting professional experience, URM (Hispanic), an excellent (IMO) personal statement, 31 yrs of age, married w/ 8 month old son, 3.6 science GPA, 3.4 overall, 31S on the MCAT (10,10,11). It really is a struggle just to get out all of the secondaries. I'm confirmed at about 10 schools and waiting to hear on another 6.
The good news is I have an interview at Univ of Michigan. I'm very excited about that. It's on 10/7. And I'm out of state (in CA). I'm still waiting to hear from UC San Francisco, UC Los Angeles, and UC Davis. Haven't heard anything from Pitt either. I've applied to a ton of good schools, almost all of them actually with exception of John Hopkins, Washington, Mayo, Duke (these are places my wife and I don't want to move to). But I'm aiming high at places like Brown, Dartmouth, Yale, Harvard, Columbia, Cornell, Michigan, UCSF, UCSD, NYU, other NY's, and a host of other schools. I was told that I will have a better chance of getting in there than some state schools because the private good schools really want a diverse class and have better means of accomplishing that then the state schools.
So far, I've had no rejections but have really not heard back from any of the schools. I'm not saying that I'm nervous, in reality I am not feeling any nervousness at all. In fact I'm surprisingly calm about all of this yet. Maybe I'll change my tune once I start getting rejections, or better yet interviews.
How are others doing? I've read this thread a few times. How have the interviews gone thus far? Are the schools really grilling you on why you want to change careers, about your academic prepardness, your challenges, etc? I hear about some candidates getting 25 interviews, and others who receive no interviews. So I'm really not sure what to expect.
I'm most interested in how the interviews have gone, and how we non-trads have prepared for them. Not like we should prepare any differently than normal kids who are applying directly out of college.
What you should do is go look at the interview feedback posted for Wayne State. You can find the interview feedback on the login page when you first go to SDN. Good luck on your interview and with the rest of your apps.
