Hi everyone,

It seems most people around here have been complete since July/August. I only became complete at most schools last week due to late committee letter (most secondaries were sent in in July though). I like the LizzyM <70 thread, so I thought I would create this for those who are complete "late" for whatever reason for support, information, whatever have you!

I'll start:

LizzyM: ~68
Nontrad
Applied: 28 MD schools
Complete: ~9/24

It's going to be a long few months waiting to hear back...!

 

[wavvvvvves123]

haha, i like this thread 🙂 I had only submitted 7/19 secondaries before the start of september. I'm at 16/19 secondaries submitted now, though!!!

LizzyM: 69-70
Applied: 19 MD schools
Complete: as of 9/28, i'm complete at ~13/19 schools

I've also got 3 IIs so far! and 2 of them came from schools that I was complete at during the first or second week of september, so there's hope 🙂

 

[sandy333]

I completed most of my applications around the beginning of September. There are a few outliers and I just submitted my DO for verification.

LizzyM = 74
Applied: 26 MD; 4 DO
Completed 25/26; 0/4

Radio silence, but I didn't expect to hear anything till October.

 

[jattitude]

Took the MCAT this summer and got verified last week of Aug. Was too busy/late to apply for DO- hopefully doesn't bite me later on! Last one submitted on 9/18.

LizzyM= 67
Applied: 27 MD
Completed: 23/27. Not going to bother with last 4.

1 pre-secondary rejection from WVU, 1 hold so far at GWU. Silence on all other fronts.

 

[ImmunoLove]

complete late (as in not yet) thanks to really slow LORs (they've known for a year). It's my fault. But now I'm a little bummed. It's SO late. Not panicking per se (doesn't do any good), but definitely not pleased...

LizzyM=70 (overall), 79 (last five years)
Applied: 30
Nontrad, weird story, super research nerd.

 

[Romz]

Applied 20 MD
LizzyM = 67
International.
Decent EC and Research

 

[banthapug]

WOOT!

LizzyM: 64 (UG) 68(PB)
Nontrad, career changer
Applied: 27 MD
WA resident
>1000hrs of clinical. Hoping this really helps! Good luck everyone.

Edit: complete 9/22 at most schools. Haven't heart anything yet, obviously.

I saw this on SDN although I forgot who said it... "If you don't submit your secondaries, you won't be invited for interviews. If you do submit your secondaries, you might." Better late than never!

My application is very late because I am a lazy person who procrastinated all summer long.

Only 5/15 secondaries submitted this week, but at least I got an II already. Hoping to submit the rest before Oct 10th.

I was surprised too! GW. I did send in my secondary in July, I was just complete in September because of Rec letters. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's exciting anyhow!

I have two interviews now. Got one from Hofstra yesterday after being complete 9/5. Things are looking up! The cycle's not over for a while yet. Maybe we'll all get a wave of II's in the next few weeks!

Thats great! I saw that since I am on the Hofstra thread! Its a new med school but have great ties to North Shore LIJ. I feel it will be a med school on the rise. Congrats!

It takes only one school! I have a friend who didn't submit until mid-September, got one interview in April and got accepted. She is MS-2 now!

just for anyone checking back on this (because I totally would be, like the crazy person this process has made me into) - trying to stay away from specifics on the public forums, but shoot me a message and I'd be happy to let you know my stats and schools

Anyone get II's lately?

Not after the 2 in October. I'm assuming this will be a long winter - especially with the holiday season approaching!

 

[MedHopeful09]

Aside from my health, friends, family, and education, I need something else to be thankful for during Thanksgiving!!
Help me out over here adcoms!!

😵

 

[ex_animo_92]

Just got a II this morning from NYMC!! Was marked complete 9/18 and I took the 9/17 casper. Took them a while to receive the score. Keep hope alive ^_^
