**2016-2017 URM Medical School Application Thread**

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
The extended period of silence is driving me crazy. At this point I would be willing to hear any communicating even if it's not necessary good

Accepted earlier today at SKMC. So pumped for this school and its programs. Anyone else planning to attend here?

Exercising, hanging out with loved ones, and tv shows. Gilmore Girls and Westworld are my current mainstays.

Y'all. God proved Himself today. Got accepted to 6 TX schools.....I still can't even fathom it as I type this.....

God is good and all, but don't cut yourself short. I am honestly not surprised you got so many acceptances, you have an amaaaazing app, with stats that blow like 99% of individuals applying out of the water, Congratulations, you are an amazing applicant, and a school would be so lucky if you chose to matriculate to their school. I project even more acceptances for you.

congrats!! I live very very close to the area, so we can meet up if you choose to go to that school or on your second look!
 
Checking in to share that I received my first medical school acceptance in the mail yesterday! Hasn't fully sunken in yet, and it was unexpected - didn't receive an email or phone call beforehand.

Wishing everyone else good luck in the coming weeks/months!

Congratulations! Holding that letter just makes the feeling all the more real. I pray this is the first of many!

Did any of my fellow BUSM interviewees get the diversity outreach email from the dean? It was addressing/mediating concerns about the recent election. Nice touch BU, nice touch.

Yeah I got the email, thought it was super thoughtful. I like when the medical schools, and applicants acknowledge real world events. There is more to life than just this process.

I got that email to. When are you guys interviewing at BU it's my number one choice. Do you think there's a good chance of getting in after an interview? I'm Nicaraguan-American btw this thread is nice to have.

I think the majority of us have had our interviews already...? Welcome to the overlap, fam lol I know it's going to be a bit more competitive this year because they had too many people accept their offer of admission last year. But honestly..? I think there's room for all of us. Knock em dead! :highfive:

Interviewed 2 months ago. BU's post interview acceptance rate according to USNews is 41.6%. Welcome to the URM forum (not sure if you have posted here before)!

My interview here is still my absolute favorite. Low stress, conversational and felt like my interviewer genuinely wanted to get to know me. His response to my thank you note definitely echoed that feeling as well!

I am loving like luke cage. Finally a cool black mainstream super hero

Well I'm glad to be a part of the group :D

I inquired about fellow URMs at my alma mater and I was told by the pre-med advisor we were already 6/6 on acceptances this year.

Got called today for two acceptances, one I didn't even know I was going to committee for. I'm honestly still in shock that I'm in now. Wow.
