OOS Rejection (2nd thus far)
3.9 cGPA
3.8 sGPA
31 MCAT
Oh well! You can only attend one school anyway! 🙂

May I ask why they would reject you so early in the cycle. You seem to match with their stats and I assume you have extracurriculars

 

[BphysDoc]

II just now.

 

[mattman20]

II!!! First MD interview

 

[GoGreen13]

Congrats to both of you! Mind sharing when you were complete? (so I know whether to obsessively refresh my email or not)

Yep-- I would say that I am quite involved in dance orgs, hospital volunteering, research, etc . . .
I'm not entirely sure why I was rejected so early. The physician who wrote my LOR did not submit it on official letterhead-- Rossy F reluctantly accepted the letter after a few e-mails back and forth. This might be a contributing factor? I'm not quite sure, really. If I don't get an acceptance elsewhere, I will contact them about it.

 

[nwts]

Just got an II as well! Now to figure out which date to take...

[Dr.Forssmann]

How are you guys preparing?

 

[laud]

It's impossible to say for sure. There are so many factors that it is always ultimately a human decision. Maybe your app just happened to be in a stack with ten other people with perfect apps. Who knows. I don't know if that's helpful, but I'm sure with your stats you will find a warmer welcome elsewhere. Good luck!

Haha, this is my 6th. I have no idea how that happened. Thank you for your congratulations! Also, I'm female, btw 🙂

Thank you! My IIs (some of which I've already interviewed at) were from Jefferson, Quinnipiac, Tulane, Creighton, Iowa, and Rosalind Franklin.

 

[ScubaManD]

My apologies haha. You're killing it either way!

 

[nwts]

Thank you!

 

[golfman7]

Congrats on the interviews everyone! I've been complete here for awhile now and would love to interview here.

 

[Buck Winters]

I was complete 7/24...thinking my application is in the "let's wait a bit before we reject" pile.

 

[akl54]

Rejected just now. Complete 7.15. LizzyM 66. I really thought I had a shot here. I am crushed.

 

[Sharks101]

Rejected as well LizzyM 66...oh well, best of luck to you all!

 

[musicalscientists]

Huh... I just received a rejection from this place. Quite surprised to be honest considering I'm a non-trad with a lot of clinical and research experience. MCAT 32; cGPA 3.81. Best of luck to you all!

 

[HybridEarth]

Rejected and very surprised

 

[teh_pwnerer]

[TurkDorian]

I honestly thought I had a great shot here but I just received a rejection email 🙁

 

[Spector1]

I'm still in the running XD

 

[breezy16]

Same do you mind telling me your stats?

LizzyM ~70, nontrad with unique background and ECs. Win some and lose some; I've been fortunate to have IIs so I'm not freaking out.

 

[VegasPreMed]

Somehow made it through that cut...

 

[mrbakery]

Rejected 🙁 OOS, 29 MCAT, 3.7 cGPA, 3.7 sGPA

 

[Teddy Skubes]

Rejected just now. Canadian applicant with cgpa 4.0 and 32 MCAT. Complete on 7/28. Would have loved to have gone to this school, but there are obviously just so many applicants. Good luck to those with II.

 

[blublub]

I guess the wave's not over yet

 

[TurkDorian]

Just wondering, was it a bad idea to submit my primary on the first day and my secondary within 2 days? I had great extracurriculars and an above average MCAT and GPA for RFU and maybe a lot of high caliber individuals also submitted early making my application look worse

 

[timsk]

horrible idea.

 

[grey_wind]

is...is it over..? Watching my email panicked all day

I wouldn't demerit myself about trying to stay ahead of the game
