So no matter what happens with the 8 schools i'm waiting to hear from post-secondary, I'm IN.... 😀 😀 😀

And (possibly) congratulations to you, too, for any interviews you've (possibly not) had; I hope there (isn't) some great news (not) waiting for you next week (or not)! 🙂QofQuimica said:Congrats, tito! And for everyone who has interviewed already, hope that you all get some good news next week. 🙂![]()

Thanks. 😳 You seem to be in pretty good shape yourself. I'm glad that your interviews are going well, and I promise that I *won't* save any resentment for the 22nd, or any other day. 😉blee said:Seriously though, you're in as good as position as anyone I've seen, traditional or otherwise. I know we're all nervous for answers, but I know a good bet when I see one.
Born2BMD said:Hi all,
I'm a new non-trad and feeling way behind the 8-ball. Since I didn't take my 1st MCAT until this August and I knew the scores wouldn't be posted until this week, my AMCAS didn't go out until 9/19 and at that it is still waiting to be certified but all my transcripts are in so now I am just playing the waiting game.
Here's my scoop
AMCAS Applied: University of Arizona, University of Michigan, University of Maryland, George Washington, Georgetown, Johns Hopkins, and Wayne State.
Secondaries:
Received: GW, JHU
Sent Out: GW
Awaiting Response: UA, UMich, UMD, GU & Wayne
Interviews: None Yet
Acceptances: Obviously too early to say since my MCATs haven't even been posted yet!
I am so excited to have found all of you non-trads and I look forward to hearing lots of good news from everyone. Best of luck!
Any advice you may have would be greatly appreciated as I am so dang new to this thing!

lanzarlaluna said:I just got my August MCAT scores. I improved from a 25R in April to a 28O!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so *&#%ing elated right now. 😀 😀 😀 😀
(Just thought I'd share....) =]
blee said:Your scores are not incredible, but they should definitely open some doors.
Sorry, I'm not being discouraging, I don't think. I typically reserve words like "incredible" for extremely high scores. 27-30 is not extremely high. It is, however, quite respectable, and certainly good enough if paired with a solid GPA. That's all. 🙂1Path said:OUCH!! I thought the nontrad thread was usually supportive. 😕
I started to answer you, but then my post turned into a really long and winding post. let's try again.Megboo said:Blee! I just looked at your mdapp file - how did you study for the Mcat to do so well!?!🙂
blee said:I started to answer you, but then my post turned into a really long and winding post. let's try again.
First, there's someone else here whose incredible MCAT score definitely puts her in a good position to dole out advice. You may already know who this person is...if not, I'm sure you'll know soon. 😉
But back to me. I started to study in late January. My prep consisted mostly of practice tests, taken at least once every weekend under standard or faster conditions (no waiting until time limit is done before moving on, no full one-hour break). The rest of my time during the week was spent on review, although almost all of that was bio -- my weakest topic by far. My first practice test score was 31.
You know, I have a little more to say about this. I think I'll start a new thread in a bit.

Q, we're 1 of 2 for me so far 👍
Come see my party post in military medicine if you want 😀 😀 😀
QofQuimica said:Moose! I knew you'd do it! 👍 If I don't go to med school, I will become Madame Q, seer and prognosticator.in the nontrad forum; chocolate Bailey's and Godiva truffles for all. 😀
blee said:Hell yeah, Moose. 😀 Way to go! So are you definitely going to USUHS? If my wife did not promise to kill me for thinking about military medicine, I would've applied for sure.

Yes, I'm suprised at how much the adcoms are showing folks a little "personal" love! 👍QofQuimica said:I can't even BELIEVE that all of the admissions staffs are in their offices today contacting students.
blee said:I have a little news to share, too. 🙂
I called EVMS on 9/29 and discovered that I'll be receiving an acceptance.
I also got VCU's status update email today, and discovered that I've been accepted there as well.
HELL YEAH!!!
QofQuimica said:Well, I don't have to wait until next week for UF's letter any more, b/c they called me this morning. So far, I have heard from UF, USF, and U. Mich. I can't even BELIEVE that all of the admissions staffs are in their offices today contacting students. U. Mich. called me last night at almost 1AM!!! I think all three of those schools are incredibly awesome, and my head is just spinning right now.
Moose, I will let you know as soon as I hear anything else. Congrats to everyone who has heard good news, and I hope the rest of you do soon too! Sail, I'm glad you're not hung over; I was worried about you. 😉 I think you must have set a record for the fastest post-interview acceptance ever.👍
SailCrazy said:I'm in at UofM!!! 😀 I interviewed on Friday & found out just after midnight! 👍
It was only 10 hours from the time I walked out of the admissions office until I found out I was accepted. I can't describe how good it feels! 😀
blee said:See? We old folks can be good applicants, too. 😀 Great news, everybody! :clappy:
And for those of you who didn't get good news today, remember: It's day one of acceptance notices. You've got MONTHS before schools fill their classes, so don't worry!

Well, I'm not an adcom member, but your stats are certainly promising. Like I said before, your MCAT score won't help you, but you have a strong track record of academic achievement and you have a great list of ECs. There's no reason why you shouldn't continue applying this year.Born2BMD said:Hey Blee & other non-trads,
I finally added my profile to MD Applicants, to see if you could give me a better idea how I stand now that you have more info on my background!

Thanks all!
