Complete 8/1 or later?
8/1
I was complete on 8/2, so I'm hoping that I'll learn something exciting soon - fingers crossed!!!
I just emailed them back my preference. Kind of weird but yea, no other way to do it
EDIT: thats the way to do it. I just got back my confirmation email

Got rejected today. I have 4 other interviews lined up so far so I'm not super bummed out. Good luck everybody still in the running here!
Sorry to hear that, but congrats on the other interviews! If you don't mind me asking, were you small-pooled before rejected or was it just a flat-out rejection?
PS I couldn't help notice your username and that on your MD Apps page you're from Idaho. I'm also from Idaho and went to school in St. Louis. It's hard to not become a Cards fan living there.
I just got a straight rejection. Yeah I love the cards and am from idaho. Kind of an odd combo but I am glad I have some company in it.
Yeah, I didn't want to look stupid by asking them, but no where could I find out the information so I just ended up replying back and got confirmed.
Thanks!

I'm a low stats, OOS applicant and I got small-pooled so there's hope
What were your stats?
Not be worry.
In all seriousness, you can't control this. Let go of the things you have no control over.
Is anyone here not expecting much action RE: II's this week since it's Labor Day today and the Jewish Holidays begin this week too?
I'm hoping that tomorrow those of us complete 8/2 will start to hear something.
I agree.
Labor Day doesn't matter. It functions the same as a weekend, which never interferes with the subsequent work days. As for the Jewish holiday... I'm not sure it effects enough of the workforce for us to notice a difference.
Essentially, these 4 days should be just as productive as any other Tuesday-Friday.
Our staff is not especially Jewish. It was just a long weekend.
Continue to be patient; the process isn't predictable.
Oh of course. I didn't mean to convey an expectation of speediness. Just business as usual I was hoping!
Hey guys,
just wanted to get some opinions on whether i should complete/pay for secondaries here. I was hoping that my MCAT score would be higher this time, and just got them yesterday and got a 27 🙁
My GPA is about 3.4 so i really wanted a higher MCAT score to balance out the low GPA. i think my extracurriculars are pretty decent with shadowing, research, volunteering, etc. I am non-trad working as an epidemiologist at a health dept. currently (got my MPH last year). Do you guys think i have a chance here at all? Thanks for your input!! 🙂

Unless your URM I say you should defer until next cycle. You should state your masters gpa btw so people have a better view of your application.
If you're willing to spend the money, there's no harm in trying, but honestly I think that MCAT score alone will be the kiss of death for you... If you're passionate about going to medical school you might want to think about taking it again or applying DO.
my mph gpa was a 4.0, but definitely not considered hard science so i'm thinking adcom won't consider it as much as my undergrad gpa.

I'm going to agree with this advice. Apply when you're at your best, and apply early. You know that you can do better, so just wait and enjoy your year off.
actually, CO
Peyton wrecked my fantasy team this week, Boo Denver.
I imagine it may be because...
IL kids live in the state, so they would like to go to RFU.
CA kids would like to just get in somewhere.
This was one beast of a secondary.
I pre-wrote, and while the prompts were changed, I felt like a lot of the content was similar enough, so it was more like writing a half an essay the second time around.
I'd love to go here - absolutely love the area it's in - it may not be CHICAGO, but it's a really nice suburb - great place to start a family of bears fans 😀
Peyton wrecked my week too. 7 miserable ajflkajljhkjh.
What's your team name?
+1 also small pooled today!
Did they send a "completed" email after you submitted your secondary?
Yep. I believe they sent it right after I submitted.

+1....wondering if that's a bad sign :/
Congratulations! I was complete about a week after you and have similar stats.
Anybody complete on 8/8 small pooled?
EDIT: Just kidding… I was complete on the 15th 😉
