Well, there goes that theory! Best of luck to everyone.
Oh wow...
So..... How about the Packers?
. Just a casual reminder: don't overthink everything you do, and try to think of yourselves as more than just a gpa and mcat score. I can guarantee you that after doing admissions work on the committee last year that many of the folks who are salty on sdn abt something but seem to be perfect on sdn are not always what they seem in person or on actual paper (who on SDN is gonna tell you abt their red flags or app weaknesses?). And just because you've jumped through the hoops for ecs doesn't mean you're a good fit for every med school in the country, so it's not a personal attack against yourselves. We had to turn away many folks who are now at ivys for med school, for example. We took a chance on a few ppl some of you may dismiss as not "competitive" by our stats. There's always more behind every decision than you can see from your side.
I am also OOS and I got my verification Email from them a day after my AMCAS was verified and a secondary invite 2 days after the verification Email. I was verified on August 12. So maybe you should give them a call. But it seems like this whole process is not very linear so I have no idea how it works.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it.
May I ask when you were complete? Thank you
I'm sorry mate. This is surprising considering you're IS. Did you put another school in any of your essays?
UW all the way.
Inexplicable. So sorry to read what's happened to you. I know how you feel. It all seems so arbitrary, bordering on the capricious.
Really appreciate that. It just hurts right now. I wish I knew why they rejected me.
I can imagine three possible reasons. 1. You're "overqualified" and they assumed you'd never attend if accepted--you're "ivy" league bound--so why waste an interview slot on you. 2. Something in your Primary or Secondary seemed a bit "off", which I tend to doubt because most applicants with your numbers are pretty good at this. 3. Someone at the reviewing end had a bad day--argument with spouse, too much Tabasco during lunch, who knows--and vetoed you or held sway just because they could--we forget there are human beings on the other end, who can be just as irrational and weird as the rest of us. These may sound trite, I know, but with your numbers and IS status, as I said earlier, it's inexplicable.
I wish you the best too! Did you apply to MCW--IS tuition there is somewhat reasonable? Also, with your numbers and your financial situation, it's very likely that you'll be receiving terrific aid/scholarship packages at any number of schools. This is just the start--I'm sure schools will be competing for you in the next few months.
The silver lining is that I bet you will get into another great school- perhaps one that is ultimately the best fit for you in the end !
