I’m actually more surprised they responded back that quickly

Yeah they have been quick to respond to me about this, and very helpful!

 

[TheWolfOfMainStreet]

I applied yesterday, got the confirmation today, and I'm LM 64 or so + OOS.

 

[88Nontrad4dayz]

Yes, I think just generally they'd prefer having in state students, or tri state students

what do you mean by tri state

 

[insaiyan-premed]

what do you mean by tri state

he/she means the NYC metropolitan area; NYC/ Southeast NY/ Long Island, Northeast NJ, and Southern Connecticut. Although I'm pretty sure they don't care about the tri-state area as more so NJ. So I doubt they'd prefer the tri-state students over NJ students if the two were to have similar stats.

this thread is so neurotic. Lets just chill until the Interview season.

I've been anonymous for a while before I made an account, but from fellow students, this website is apparently "cancer".

I had more or less the same opinion of SDN before I joined a while back. After actually spending time here though I've found that that's pretty much untrue (at least from my point of view). There are always going to be some toxic people but that's true of the internet in general. Overall though I've found some of the best advice I've gotten here and it's great for finding school specific information that might be a lot harder to come by.

Not to mention it's generally just "popular" to hate on SDN. I find most of it comes from people who haven't actually ever spent real time here or people who were being asses/hard-headed and were told what they didn't want to hear and leave feeling "attacked"; I've seen it happen a couple times.

 

[pc727]

For those who sent an update, was there an email confirmation? Because I didn't receive one.

 

[Lemons565]

Is it worth applyng here at all if we are from the south (GA)? Or too much instate bias?

I applied and I'm from the south as well, it's a private school on a short time frame so you gotta assume if your competitive you've got a shot no matter where you are from

Are you still from the East Coast? I'm from the West Coast so I'm wondering if there will be any regional bias

Is your interview through the phone or did they tell you about your in person interview through the phone?

Edit: Would be great if I don’t need to buy another airline ticket

In her voicemail, she left a phone number that had diff last 4 digits than the number that appeared. Rang once and went straight to voicemail.

You know you have to share some stats at this point right? MCAT, GPA etc. lol

 

[Squeaks]

Did you submit on the first day?

Not the first day, but within the first few days.

MCAT 511

 

[dapperdoc]

Well, I have a feeling I'm going to be passed up here too.

 

[88Nontrad4dayz]

Me Too 🙁

 

[buckoh24]

Not the first day, but within the first few days.

MCAT 511

Dang. I have the same MCAT and submitted the second day so lets hope for some love.

 

[88Nontrad4dayz]

What Type of ECs do you have ?

 

[mantis1010]

You guys need to relax lol. Just because you didn't get one of the first interviews does not mean you've been passed up. And from the look of things, it seems that they're interviewing applicants in the immediate area for next week. So seriously, relax! 😉

 

[insaiyan-premed]

MCAT 511

What about GPA, EC? Grad school no grad. lol I don't know why I'm even asking. Haven't even taken the MCAT yet or graduated.

No. It's over for me. What's the point. Get out of my face with that privileged, optimistic drivel. I'll never amount to anything.

Now leave me to my clove cigarettes and my black coffee that I don't like the taste of but drink anyway so that I can tell other people that I drink it and how basic they are for drinking a latte.

 

[captainhindsight]

Any seton hall pirates getting interview love yet?

That escalated quickly ...

 

[insaiyan-premed]

maybe Seton Hall can show some love for the big east (Georgetown, St Johns, Villanova) undergrads lol

I like the love for only pirates

 

[Montana7000]

I like the love for only pirates

Is seton hall undergrad a big premed school? Will they be able to reach the 25%?

 

[IndieKush]

Dang. I have the same MCAT and submitted the second day so lets hope for some love.

*starts dialing buckoh24's number to extend II*

*sees 3 page update*

*slowly puts phone back down*

 

[DelayedGratification]

Pretty decent in size. Id imagine they can easily find 14-15 premeds that are qualified.

It really wasnt that bad cuz I formatted the last page like the AMCAS activity section so it basically just had contact info, hours, yada yada. The actual emat of the update was probably closer to 1.5 pages with 12 pt font so nothing crazy.

Haha I know. I ended up starting at a very productive research lab right after primaries so over half of my update is just research stuff. Now if only that was on ym primary then I probably would have gotten more love this cycle.
