awesome! Now I just need to make it sound pretty. And not make toooo much fun of engineers.Sounds good! The school seems to have a focus on "interdisciplinary leadership" and it looks like your experience hits on all the points. I wrote about a similar experience. Good luck
I have received no word, except that they got my primary application, and that was a long time ago.
I have not received the secondary. Does this mean I've been screened out
It seems like they screened through a handful of people and then all kind of activity from VTC just sort of disappeared off the radar. Should I call them? I'm from the south and I'd really like the opportunity to submit a secondary.
Have some people already been screened out??
Freezer quoted a newspaper article that stated the accepted students MCAT range from 30-41. I don't know how true that is... but having below a 30 might hurt you. If you think you fit the VTC mission well (it sounds like they like research alot) and like the curriculum, I would say go for it. But you should probably wait to hear what the incoming students say.
I'm having the last person read my VTC essay tonight and hopefully submitting tomorrow!
Well if you have extra money around, the secondary is $50 and I can imagine it hurting to apply. They seem like a school that would look beyond just your MCAT score.
Hey guys!
The class of 2014 has orientation from Aug. 2 - Aug. 6, and our first day of class is Aug. 9. So yes, it is just around the corner!
As for the 30-41 range MCAT, the statistic is true, but they never told us that they screened out anyone who scored less than a 30. Also, our GPA range is pretty wide (granted if you are below a 3.0 your chances are pretty slim at any US allopathic schools), so the school definitely isn't just all about numbers.
Good luck you guys! I just spent the weekend moving down to Roanoke, and it looks like our class is all really excited to start!
Would you happen to have the specific range of accepted GPAs also?got screened in today!
for anyone wondering, that means they look beyond just numbers bc mine are not that great lol
, so we'll see if they show me any love. I do have a lot of research background, so maybe that might offset my MCAT dilemma.
No- no relation to the "blogger". And no relation to the author of the newspaper article that was the subject of the blog.Irrelevant.
edit: Also judging by your SN, are you linking to your own blog? Or perhaps someone you're related to?
My secondary isn't marked complete yet so I guess I missed that boat too. It's all good though -- I plan on going to a baseball game that day anyways (and would be sad if an interview changed my plans)
[i kid-- I would have loved it]
jadealer -- they seem to slowly be going through applications and sending people secondaries. I'm sure they will let you know if they rejected you.
I'm waiting for the complete email. I got an email stating: "Your Secondary Application has arrived at Virginia Tech Carilion SOM." I forgot to mark my LORs on AMCAS to be sent to VTC until two-days after I sent the secondary... so I assume once they get those, they will send me a complete email.
I would expect a complete email. They might have just started looking at secondaries though and marking them complete considering I submitted 7/26 and got the complete email 7/27, so I wouldn't call just yet.
