I'll have to lay out quite a bit of info since I'm a weird case, but my question is essentially - how open to strange cases is the ad com and is there any chance they will give me an interview invite without too long of a turnaround despite me taking until Oct 28th to get my secondary completed. I don't have too much of an excuse other than that I was distracted by traveling and moving to Germany. I am a reapplicant who applied for 2013 (turned my secondaries in even later that time, but did manage to get an interview and wait listed at UT in Memphis) and then did not apply last year. I do not have a GPA because I went to New College of Florida, which is basically pass/fail with narrative evaluations. The ad com is familiar with NCF and had me supply my evaluations for my prerequisites, which should work in my favor because that's something like 12 pages of me looking pretty good. I am in state and my MCAT score 12/11/12. I just worked as a tutor and a strange but great gig as a personal assistant for the first year out of school, but now I am a master's student at the University of Munich. I'm studying genomics here and interested in primary care/personalized medicine. The program is in English, but I am pretty good at German now and should be fluent by the time I finish. It is a two year program and I'm intending to seek a deferral if I get accepted so I can finish up here. I decided to continue with my application this cycle because I had already sunk so much money into the primary before I got accepted here and crossing the pond for interviews (which I really want to do for the chance to see the family anyways) will be a lot easier this year than during my thesis crunch. So yeah, all that. Think I might still get an II soon/at all?
Applying to medical school sure is stressful! Good luck all
😛
