That's true, but people have reported getting IIs from Jefferson at like 11:30PM 😵

Fair enough, people on the Mayo thread are thinking news will break at 2AM!

Based on what we've seen so far (n=5) it looks like maybe for OOS/MD-only folks the line is drawn at a 68 LizzyM score... last year's entering class was a 68.3.

Yeah, I've been chilling out here having similar thoughts as I wait for more people to post their rejection and stats. Perhaps I'm safe at least for a short while... 😛

and

GPA MCAT LizzyM
3.68 31 67.8
3.79 30 67.9
3.25 31 63.5
3.89 29 67.9
3.6 29 65

Average 3.64 30 66.4

Based on what people who were OOS/MD-only posted. This is assuming all they're doing is number-related, which it most likely isn't, but it's just an observation. #tryingtorationalizeanirrationalprocess

Great. I am so brain dead that I thought a 68 was a 38 MCAT with a 4.0. I promise I can math. This process is so mentally draining. :whistle:

If it makes you feel any better, I majored in math, and many of us ironically suck at arithmetic while excelling at real analysis, non-Euclidean geometry, and abstract algebra. We use calculators for the trivial stuff… 😛

I'm OOS and was rejected last week with a 74 lizzyM...take that as you will.

Yikes. Was it unbalanced? Like a 40/3.4?

Edit: Dang, nevermind; just saw the other person with a 3.75/37. Reasonably balanced. Eep. Can't wait for my rejection.

Thanks. I am a non-traditional applicant with an extremely medically relevant and unique story, which is why I do not include my stats on stuff. In my opinion they are not helpful to others to gauge "relative competitiveness".

Sucks. Definitely a reason there is no airport in Gary. Little scary up there 🙂
 
I received the initial email on the 21st! Hopefully will hear something by the end of next week but more realistically two weeks from now haha

Or that it's in northwest Indiana? You know near Chicago?

I thought IU liked OOSers to have ties to Indiana. I'm confused.

lol. nope the only thing i know about gary is that's where MJ grew up. besides that i signed because of the urban health focus, but after the airport thing i wanted to change it. yea i guess Chicago international airport is 30 miles from gary so i'll use that instead. im not sad about it honestly i was really surprised to gett II from here so God must be doing something with me...he must have a reason for gary! cant't wait for II...first one:claps:

edit: had to edit my post like 50 times ...i was typing to fast. must be the excitement i guess

I think MJ stands for Michael Jackson.
Flying into Chicago is often cheaper than Indy, so Gary is not a bad choice.
 
This was posted earlier in the thread but wanted confirmation. Have people been receiving rejections/II's without having already sent LOR's?
 
For people with In state ties how did you go about letting them know?? theres nothing on the secondary that asks for it. so do you just send admissions an email?

I happen to have been born there and my parents both went there which is included in the primary application.
 
For the people who also had an II, does your application portal have exclamation marks next to the letters status?
