Just submitted primary yesterday 7/31 (late I know, family issues prevented me from getting it done sooner =/ ), OOS c3.5, s3.4 29MCAT (10,10,9) with unique ECs and excellent LORs. I know I'm a bit late in the cycle but idk if it's worth adding Quinnipiac. Is it worth applying here and getting my secondary in ASAP?

 

[ADAUC]

Stats?

For the what would you do if you couldn't go into healthcare/science question, what's the consensus on writing about health policy? I was an economics major, and I was going to talk about going into health economics.

Unless you have something that you would like to do that is actually outside of science or healthcare I would recommend answering the other 2 essays. Please note that you only need to do 2 of the 3 essays!

This is my advice for secondaries is to make sure that you answer the questions in the prompt. Don't try to bend into something else. My opinion is that if you want to influence policy of healthcare, that is still healthcare. Just my 2 cents.

You're still not too late. I don't see why you shouldn't apply

If they just SUBMITTED their primary with those stats they are late. They won't be verified until October. Even if they meant they are verified, they're still a LITTLE late with those stats.

Was complete 7/6 - wouldn't mind hearing ANYTHING - even a rejection ... Silence is deafening

Congratulations! Are you interested in doing primary care? I ask because I straight up said I'm currently interested in emergency medicine and I'm trying to gauge how much that may have hurt me.

I was honest too and talked about surgical specialties, I wonder if that disqualified me too...

 

[miamiheatfan]

They aren't going to reject anyone based on that. They just want to know your honest intentions. Just have a good reason for whatever you pick. I'm pretty sure on last years thread people were accepted who put different specialties

+ 1 I talked about EM too. If this school is not interested in applicants who want to specialize, then they can go ahead and reject me. But, I'm sure right now they are sending invites to star applicants. Those with high MCAT scores + GPAs

i hope this is how all med schools are right now with only send ii to stars

I think most schools send the first IIs to people with great stats. Whereas, the mission oriented schools look for best fit over stats. In the end, I'm sure stats play a huge role :/ which makes me saddddd ;_;

I talked about a field other than primary care and got an II.

 

[jsvanhoo]

Does anyone who scheduled an interview for the 25th of August want to meet up and explore? Also, if anyone would like to split a hotel can you message me? Traveling from California and I am staying from the 23rd to the 26th.

 

[SY21]

hey all!
do you think I have a chance with my stats?
oos 3.75 gpa, 26 MCAT, and I'm Lebanese so I guess I am considered as a "diverse" applicant
I did receive my secondary but I just want to make sure not to get my hopes up for nothing.
Also I plan to retake the MCAT in october, does anyone know if they would wait for it and delay my application? if so do you think I should just not tell them that I'm retaking it?

26 MCAT is low and the October MCAT is late. You're not in a good spot to be honest. However, if you want to go ahead and try anyway, I would not wait till October.

 

[woburnrock]

They are harsh! I got the same email the next morning after being verified. Re-applicant, non-trad, 3.74/37. Is this because I am a re-applicant? Really frustrated ...

I regret to inform you that the decision has been made not to send you

a Secondary Application in order to complete your application to the

Frank H. Netter MD School of Medicine at Quinnipiac University.


I understand that this news is disappointing and it is my hope that you

will be admitted to one of the other medical schools to which you have

applied so that you can embark on a medical education.




Well. I guess they screen pretty harshly!

 

[Rollerbladdin]

Anyone have any tips on interviewing here?

 

[woburnrock]

Update: Secondary invite received after sending an email inquiry to the admissions office.

thinking that being another culture/heritage makes you diverse is a wrong way to think…its your story, what you've been through, who you are, what you do that is different from others that make you diverse. If your lebanese heritage has exposed you to something extraordinary, thats diverse

Wow. I was about to say... Your GPA and MCAT are better than mine, and I'm a reapplicant. Did they give any explanation?

 

[iowaiowacity]

Has anybody received a post-secondary rejection?

This is super surprising btw, I'm really sorry you got screened out with such good stats.

[jsvanhoo]

Apologize for the spam, but I am flying into Bradley Int. Airport on the 23rd and returning on the 26th. If anyone would like to ride share (I have rented a car), or would like to explore the surrounding area, let me know.

I have those same stats. I added Quinnipiac this morning and received the secondary in under an hour. Call them.
