Honestly though, the picture of Taylor Swift is enough for me to apply.
As blasphemeous as this may be to @Cyberdyne 101's ears, Dr. Zoe Hart > Taylor Swift any day of the week 😛

Theres always a +/- fluctuation in MCAT scores, hence the range of percentiles that AMCAS puts you in. I think its safe to say a 9 vs. 10 verbal is not much of a difference.I am just a little worried, because I took the MCAT twice and got a 10 on verbal the first and a 9 the second... Will that look bad even though my overall score improved by four points the second time around?

For me though, does anyone think I will run into any trouble with schools this year with a 13P,8V,13B? It is a 34 total, but an 8 verbal is pretty low 🙁
Yes, that what it means. My brother applied and interviewed, sent in 5 letters, no issues. Just don't send any more than 5, as they may start to ding you about it.Can I send more than 3 letters of recommendation?
While there certainly are no rules against sending more than 3 letters, we recommend that you limit the number of letters sent to those that are requested. We do not recommend over 5 letters. If your school attaches letters of evaluation to their committee or pre-med advisor letter, we view that as one letter.
I read this as meaning that they recommend 3, but can send up to 5.

Interesting, so my committee packet that has the letter written by the committee and the five letters they required us to turn in only counts as one letter?
If your school normally does well sending kids to Vandy, then I wouldn't sweat it--your committee knows what they're doing!My committee letter has 6 individual letters attached to it. No way of detaching specific letters to specific schools.
Hopefully this isn't held against me!
All quiet on the midwestern front.Anxiously waiting... anyone heard back from them yet?
I'm also from the midwest. Do they send them out regionally?All quiet on the midwestern front.
+1All quiet on the midwestern front.
If you don't mind me asking, where are you from and what are your stats? Thanks!!
Haha I am IN/3.9/522. I don't think they've started sending any out at This point though, I'm sure that at least ONE SDNer would be in the first wave. Wouldn't sweat it at any rate! Would anticipate it being by the end of the week.If you don't mind me asking, where are you from and what are your stats? Thanks!!
I thought +1 meant you got a secondary. oops! haha. Regardless, thanks for replying and for the reassuring words. Good luck to everyone!Haha I am IN/3.9/522.

Haha well I thought I read somewhere that the first secondaries would be sent out July 6 so that's the only reason I'm just a tad bit surprised there's been no movement yet. All in due time though!!It's all quiet here around Nashville as well. I swear I've refreshed my email and this feed at least once every minute for the past two days.

Vandy, why you do this to us...![]()
You're so sweet, thank you! 😳 I'm sure at the end of the day, med schools like Vandy just want students who "fit," you know? It's much more than numbers, and I'm sure we all have great stories to share! I'm sure plenty of us will be receiving secondaries soon!Peeked at your MD Apps and was floored. From previous Vanderbilt threads, it looks like you'll have no problem getting an early-batch secondary.
I'll be here in my web, hoping Vanderbilt gives my <3.7 cGPA some attention.
THE MOVEMENTjust received email saying screening committee is looking at application
I would take it to mean that they will review your app more closely before sending a secondary, i.e. if the rest of the people who have already gotten one this morning were given it purely because of stats. Hoping for the best!I received an email saying my application will be reviewed but no secondary invite. Does this mean that I was prescreened and will probably not end up getting a secondary?
