ACCEPTED!!! 😀:soexcited::soexcited:

Best of luck to those who are still waiting!

From the email I received, it stated that in the last 10 years they have at least accepted the top 17 from the waitlist so I'm shooting for a spot up there somewhere!
 
I don't have that button and I got rejected so the ones with that button probably got in ha. Congrats
 
Accepted!! Yeah the button was a giveaway, they might want to fix that next year lol. Congrats to those accepted! And good luck to the waitlistees!

I was a re-applicant so i know the pain, the exit interview really helps when they break down everything in your app that held you back. They also tell you the score you would have needed to get accepted or waitlisted.

Congrats!!!

I was re-applicant as well. In fact this was my third time applying. After two times being wait listed getting in is an amazing feeling. To those that are wait listed or rejected this year, Medico is right the exit interview is a huge help. I know I had to work very hard to make myself more competitive but if this is what you really want you will make it happen!

When is the exit interview? Do you have to schedule that?

I did the exit interview and followed their recommendations to a T, then did a few extra things, yet got flat out rejected. Not sure what I did wrong, so it'll be interesting to see what they say this time.

The exit interview will be in about a month, I think they contact you to let you know. They have a mandatory Post Application Advisement workshop where there's a group of about 40 people who didn't get in, then from there you can schedule a one on one exit interview.

Yeah they told me I didn't have to retake the MCAT but I did anyways, it's a numbers game in some ways even though they say it's not. They told us that the minimum score to be accepted last year was an 86, so on their 2-4 point scale that's a 3.44 average. The Cog is 50% and Non-Cog 50%, so say you get a 26 on the MCAT and have a 3.5GPA, your cog score would be 3.0, that means you would need a 3.88/4.0 on Non-cog to get the 3.44 overall average (see table below). Nobody quote me on this but this is the info I came up with after my exit interview. But they also said there is subjective scoring, so for example if they feel you're a strong student although you have a marginal GPA your score could be higher.

Like AFVet said I worked incredibly hard to get the best Letters of Recs, Shadowing experience, AMCAS activities, Personal statement, etc. And to really show the altruistic motivation to be a physician. And through the process I talked to many inspiring physicians, who it turned out had applied 2-3 times for medical school. It's rough, but I think you're that much more grateful after you finally get in!

GPA SCORE
3.0 2.0
3.1 2.2
3.2 2.4
3.3 2.6
3.4 2.8
3.5 3.0
3.6 3.2
3.7 3.4
3.8 3.6
3.9 3.8
4.0 4.0

MCAT SCORE
22 2.0
23 2.25
24 2.5
25 2.75
26 3.0
27 3.25
28 3.5
29 3.75
30 4.0

Definitely this.

I agree with the other things you said- having the numbers always helps since I feel like I've got everything else more or less down (or working on it).
 
Got good news on my waitlist today. I'm high up in terms of what they usually accept off the list! Just gotta wait now.

According to their letter they normally accept 25 of the WL. If this is true, I have a high chance of getting off it as well :xf:

Nice!! Wouldnt it suck if this year was just an exception and they didnt accept anybody!? Lol
 
First off,

Congrats to all of you who are about to start. The 1st 2 years are going to be a blast, the third will suck so hard, and the 4th will rock your world again.

Second, what's this button thing you speak of.

Third, Good luck to all of you who didn't hear back yet. It sucks having to wait for so long, but here is the thing. You can't give up and you have to follow the following quote:

"Does your problem have a solution? If yes, then why are you worrying about it, if no, then why are you worrying about it?"

Basically, don't let things get you down as it can't always rain and things will look so much better when the sun comes up. Good luck to you all again and I wish you all the best.

Thanks for the congrats!

The button thing was that the morning that decisions went out. Those of us that we're accepted had the "please pay deposit" button on our admissions portal. Those that were WL'd or rejected did not.
 
Hey guys! Have we made a facebook group yet for class of 2017?

I've put it out of my mind for the most part, just pretending I am definitely going to KCOM next year, ignoring that I'm waiting on 2 MD schools 😴

I've been the same way with AZCOM hahaha
 
Waiting for the waitlist movement to begin is so much worse than waiting for application decisions :scared:. Oh well, hopefully movement will begin next week.

I'll take it haha. Turns out the only things worse than waiting are my family and friends constantly asking if it's moving or if I've heard anything. I've been asked multiple times each day so far, it's getting pretty ridiculous.
