2014-2015 Baylor College of Medicine Application Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
For secondaries that ask "is there anything else?" like Baylor's, can we talk about activities that we are involved in/will be involved in during our gap year?

You can do that, as long as you haven't talked about it in your primary - wouldn't want to sound redundant. I personally left it blank last year but I had mentioned gap year activities in my primary.
 
Is anyone else getting an error message when they try to log into the status check page? Also, did the secondary ask for your ACT score? I want to check because I accidentally was using the wrong score.

Yup, I think the site is down.
 
For those with potential interviews, what do your MCAT scores look like? I'm hesitant to submit my secondary. I believe UTSW has a 3.7/32 MCAT cut off for OOS interviews, what do Baylor's numbers look like?

I don't think Baylor has starting offering II (early August looks like when they start sending them out). Not sure about any cutoffs but maybe look through last year's thread and see the OOS applicants who posted their numbers.
 
Last year it was August 1st when they started going out, but yeah last year's thread is probably the best place to look right now

My status changed back to "is being reviewed" after it had gone to "has been reviewed." Don't want to get too excited just yet but hopefully this means what it did last year.

My status also changed from "Your application is complete and has been reviewed by the committee.
We will let you know something as soon as we are able." to "Your application is complete and is being reviewed by the committee. We will let you know as soon as further information is available"

I was complete on 7/3 and my application was marked as "has been reviewed" on 7/8
 
My AMCAS was verified today. Can I go ahead and submit my secondary or should I wait to get an official email from Baylor says they received my primary?
 
I'm assuming the special experiences is optional, but it seems to be required to enter some info there... does anyone know if it's required?
 
Congrats to those getting IIs! That's awesome! @ProbablyAPenguin , good haul for you today! I saw you post on the NYU thread earlier 🙂
 
congrats to everyone with invites! best of luck to everyone waiting! lemme know if you have any questions!
 
Does Baylor send IIs via e-mail or do we need to regularly check our status through the online portal?

Thanks!

Email. I don't think the online portal tells you you got an interview?

Fake edit: Just confirmed, portal hasn't changed. So you will be looking for an email

My status just changed back to "Is being reviewed" this morning..has everyone who has gotten an interview so far had their status change before?

Status changed to "is being reviewed" just this morning. I'd say this is a good sign that we'll be in the next batch of II's.

Supplemental application was sent in 7/14, LORs complete 7/21, MCAT scores released 7/22.
 
Status change from "being" to "been" to "being" here too! Fingers crossed! :luck:
 
This is so exciting! Guess we'll find out if this means what we think it means in a few days
 
Agreed, it makes sense to send them out before the weekend. Otherwise I think we'll be waiting until Monday despite the 3 day turnaround GTLO noted (don't see them sending them out on a Sunday).
 
Got nothing so far. Still early in the day though, hopefully they send these out later today
 
Just a word of advice & encouragement for those waiting, BCM continues to interview into Februrary. So stay hopeful and optimistic 🙂

Congrats to all those with interview invitations!! Looking forward to welcoming you guys when you come here for your interviews.

P.s. This place is incredible.
