Eh, my best friend interviewed here last cycle with stats higher than those in this thread and she's currently starting M1 at a top 20 school. I don't think you can write it off as number-protecting, no offense. There's a good chance your application didn't project that your goals aligned with those of Oakland's or that you were serious about matriculating there.




P.S. Oakland please want me!!

Well obviously numbers arent the only thing to consider but this does happen everywhere.

First II!

Complete on 7/10
3.45 uGPA
3.83 postbacc
34 MCAT
In first semester of an MS program

Extremely excited about this school, their charter class matches look awesome! I was going to sign up for the 9/18 interview, but it filled up before I got the okay from my advisor to miss a midterm 🙁

Oh well, I'll see some of you on 10/2!

Got the notice of an II yesterday and I'm super pumped! I submitted the secondary 7/10.

Good luck, everyone!
 
Question, just submitted secondary, however on the portal it says my letter has been received ( name of advisor) however there is still a red exclamation point. I sent amcas a letter packet containing a committee letter as well as a doctor letter. Should I call? is this still adequate for their requirements?

I submitted yesterday and mine's the same. I'm guessing that they just haven't pulled it from AMCAS and into their own system yet.

I had that too originally, but after a few days, it changed to a green checkmark. You'll be fine!
 
Hey guys quick help on teh secondary.

for the prerequisite section my physics labs are both seperate from the lectures; how should I list the physics lab if they only let you have one spot for physics lab?

I emailed them about this a while back. Just put your highest level lab in the box. If you took PHY 1 and 2, put the PHY 2 lab in.

I am applying for medical schools 🙁 Just realized my status is set as pre dental. I must have made a mistake.
I was complete in July 14th. Forgot to mention that I am Canadian which may have had contributed to the rejection.
Well good luck everyone!

it's definitely not your canadian-ness! call them and ask for feedback if you like, but be assured it's not your nationality that got you rejected.

i wouldn't think so, it says that they intend to have ~500 interviews and they're not shy about rejecting people haha
