Look at the Interview Feedback. There are tons of responses there.
Since they only provide two spaces should I just attach an additional sheet which includes labs (which are seperate at my college) ? Do you think its better to just do all of them on the attached sheet or should I fill out what I can in the box provided and attached the courses that don't fit?
Also, one of my chemistry labs was a combined summer semester of chem 1 & 2, is that the kind of course that requires a course catalog explanation ?
Thanks!

Probably doesn't matter. I filled in the boxes and attached a sheet as well. I doubt anyone cares.
If I have been living in NYC for over 5 years but I'm from Boston originally, should I answer this one?
Probably not necessary.
I wouldn't write a full-on answer, but I would just make a brief mention that you've been there for five years if you haven't listed your NYC address elsewhere on the application.
I wouldn't mention the bit about Boston, though. This is New York, after all... 😉

Invites at Stonybrook and upstate so far
Only Buffalo and Downstate to go!
Really wanna go interview at Downstate. Any interview in NYC for me is golden.

I want one at Upstate, but no luck so far.
i want any SUNY! especially downstate and stony brook, but the others would be great too...it would be so nice to at least have a cheap in-state option to consider. oh well, i guess the SUNY's want me to be really broke and go to a private or OOS med school😛
Invite this afternoon. Hope it goes well.
@BlueElmo, how did you like Brooklyn?
@BlueElmo, how did you like Brooklyn?
Congrats. I liked it a lot.
Especially now that Yankees are in the playoffs.
Hehe... I'm hoping for a 2004 rematch. I'll be in DC when the ALCS starts, I'm going to see if any of my fellow GWU interviewees feel like hitting up a sports bar to watch the fireworks.😀
Has anyone OOS heard anything back yet? I've got applications out to four NYC schools and still nothing...

i'm OOS and have heard from 4/6 NYC schools.
I'm guessing there's a reason your location says NY,NY 😛
Would you mind sharing your stats? I'm looking at a 3.55 sGPA, 33 MCAT...
dw has really good stats, explains the love she's getting.
indeed-- i applied as a MA resident bc you can't apply to UMass OOS. MA's residency requirements are uber strict, so i had to keep my license and voters registration there even though i was in NYC for college and am still here for a second year after graduating. new york's residency requirements are much more lax, and i found out when i interviewed at downstate that i can get IS tuition there as well! yay!
and i have a really good but not great MCAT and very high GPA.
poop on you, zona!
nah, i was gonna edit but then i realized someone quoted that post, so i didn't bother. whatever, i'm not ashamed of my stats or anything.
Just PM me for the info.
not you too! i will just have to smack you when we go out for drinks on 10/8
what do u guys think about my chances with these stats:
3.53 CGPA
3.58 SGPA
32 O MCAT
Oh and I'm IS

If you're IS, then go ahead and add. It's kind of late though.
Oh I already have I have been complete since 9/18, just wondering what u guys think of my chances
Looks pretty good, not super, but you could get some love. Good luck.
I don't think that's a typo. It really means longer than 3 months.

hahahaGood job. You deserve an award.
chill out simonG. seems like no one really got what you were trying to point out in the first place... no need to get all snippy.
Your reward is a thumbs-up. What else would you like?
Milk and cookies as well?
I just got an invite here, the state of NY is showing me some love 😀
WOOOOOO INTERVIEW 10/13!!!!!
I'd really appreciate some feedback on everyone else's interview I'm super nervous!!

The interview's not so bad. It's not a stress interview. But, know your application completely--my interviewer didn't even have it in front of him (his desk was empty). Yet he had memorized my GPA, MCAT, major, and some ECs, too!
I loved the school, btw. I'm OOS, and if I'm accepted here and at my state school, I may just shell out the extra $$ for the first year.
oh wow I've heard of those closed file interviews being not so fun, I'm hoping this goes smoothly. This is my first interview and happens to be my #1 school, therefore my nerves are shot!!
