It's a score used to compare relative competitiveness. In its most simplistic form you take your GPA and multiply by 10 then add the old MCAT score. It hasn't been refigured for the new one. For example with a 3.5 GPA times ten 35 plus MCAT of 30 would be Lizzy M of 65. Max would be 85
As you indicate, meeting the deadline for medical school applications normally means that you are late and your chances become diminished. In our process we will always have seats available for applicants all the way through our final interview day in early March. We will likely interview ~425 again this year for the 120 seats. You have obviously missed several opportunites to be selected for an interview with your later submission, but if your application is competitive you would still have a good chance at being interviewed. We do interview a goodly number of non-trads and the end result of our class is normally in the vicinity of a 50-50 split between those who completed the BS/BA in the last year vs those that have been away from academics for a year or more. If you have not done so, and you feel that the MCAT score will be above our minimum 495 for this year, I recommend submitting you AMCAS and also the Supplemental App so that less time is lost in the process that remains.
Yeah, then you should still apply lol!
I wouldn't call. I think mine took just over 15 BUSINESS days, so you are still right in that range. Even without taking business days into consideration, you're only at 18 days.
I am pretty sure both of those things are correct.
My LizzyM is 71 if you go with my more recent grades but lower if you go back 12 years.
Bummer! Sorry about that. I haven't been offered an II yet and I won't be there until January, so I was hoping that an in the area would help me find out if I should book my flights to leave enough for time for an interview or not. I guess it's worth a try!

Yes, you can submit a maximum of 3 updates at any time during the interview cycle. Updates can include a (Summer/Fall term) grade sheet, something more on volunteering, awards, research or a combination of these types of topics. But you only get 3 for the year so make 'em count.
lol, i love you profile pic.
24th of August? If so you're still under 15 business days. I wouldn't worry until 20

Yes, there are normally 14+ MS-level students and from 1-3 Phd-level students in each class. Our class usually is about a 50-50 mix of students immediately from an UG degree and other non-trads (those out of college at least 1 year). You can look at our web-page and get class demographics that shows this info.
