How was your process been going thus far? My sGpa is similar and I am trying to decide if I should apply this upcoming cycle or not.

I definitely recommend applying to Ohio State if you are going to apply. They have a program called Medpath (average gpa/sgpa of people accepted 3.1/3.0 I believe) that is a 1 year post-bacc program with a conditional acceptance into their school (you need a 3.0 in the program and a 499 (27 old MCAT) MCAT score to meet the conditions). But you do have to apply to their actual MD program to be referred to it. I’ve heard that around 150 people are referred, 100 people fill out the application, 30 people interview, and 15 are accepted so the odds are higher than MD programs and you can really use the extra year to prep for year 1. I’m currently waiting to hear back for interviews for it!
Hi everyone,
I know that in the secondary email they mentioned that the portal was for internal purposes only...but I wanted to look just out of curiosity..in the portal under "Status" does anyone else's say "Interview: Not scheduled yet" I'm wondering if that means an invite is coming or if this is just a default setting

Thanks I’ll look into it
I got an email a couple of days after sending in my secondary (9/05/17) received no other communication between this email and my II (2/22/18).
“This acknowledgement email means that all of your documents have been received and a preliminary review has taken place....”
Same, except I haven't had the privilege of receiving an interview yet. Still keeping hope.
Another question for all:
Has anyone who completed their secondary after Sept/Oct been granted an interview?!

I think I saw someone who completed it in November get an interview either Jan. Or Feb.
Just got an II! I'm shook.

Congrats! What dates are available ?
Through e-mail!
Can those who got IIs post stats please, y’all I’m getting so anxious!!
Complete date 11/2 (that's when I got the 'secondary received' e-mail). MCAT 501. sGPA 3.61. gGPA 3.82. Many hours of clinical experience.
Has anyone who received the email to join the HUCM Class of 2022 Facebook group been able to join? When I click the link, it says that the page is unavailable.
In case you're wondering, I found the email to join the Facebook group in the "Social" tab in my personal gmail account (also the same email that I use for AMCAS)
P.S. Congrats to those who got II's! You can do this!!

MCAT: 501 GPA: 3.7
At a school with the mission of Howard I don’t think it’s really a numbers game once you meet the minimum. More about your ECs/clinical experience
you have to use the email address that they sent the invite to. easiest way is to add that email address to your facebook account and retry the link.
Be advised, getting into Howard U Med is far more nuanced than simply having the scores.
Does anyone know Howard's mean/median Step 1 score?
Thanks fam! It worked!
I went from 8 hours of shadowing to 50... do you think its worth the update?
I spoke with admissions yesterday and they said they were going to discuss our files this Thursday, March 8th
Sure, maybe tie in somethings you learned and how it could help going into Howard
Thank you,
So I updated them and this is the response I got... It feels like such a bitter rejection it hurts. Sorry I couldn't screen shot it on my computer

Lol I'm pretty sure that's just the standard email they send. I got the same thing when I sent an update through e-mail. Also still hoping and waiting for an II.

oh wait lol... I've received this type of email before too HAHHA my bad
First, Congrats! Real Life jealous lol
Our stats are relatively close, I'm wondering when you submitted your secondary because I received my complete email the same day as you!

Thank you! I think it was submitted a couple days before 11/2 because I had to call them to have my secondary sent to me again because I didn't receive it the first time.
I think it's case by case...i only know one person who's done that but it was a different program at HU. I wouldn't recommend it unless you think matriculating this fall would hurt more than help you.
