Please post the essays or lack thereof (in addition to word or character counts) in this thread and tag one of the pre-allo mods (WedgeDawg, Ismet, Lucca, or gyngyn) so we can update the OP.

Good luck to everyone applying!
 
Are you a MS resident? Your MCAT is 8 points above their average and your GPA is good too!
Perhaps lacking in ECs or maybe interview didn't go well?
 
Since this thread is so quiet, I thought maybe I'd give it some life.

Okay so this puts us kind of in the same boat. I was interviewed on Oct 31st; I was expecting to find out the week before thanksgiving, but have yet to hear anything. I did hear that sometimes they decide on about 2 groups at the same time. Mind sharing your stats??

496 MCAT. 3.9 GPA. Killed my interviews. Even had the director of admissions proof read my purpose statement and she said it was great. So. The only thing holding me down mentally is my MCAT score unfortunately.
 
Waiting forever impatiently

Hey, sorry for it taking me so long to respond back to you. So I actually got a call last week saying that I got accepted. I've been waiting however for my confirmation email, so I can go ahead and accept my seat. Did you get a call???
 
Waiting forever impatiently

If you haven't heard anything yet, I'm assuming it's because your interview was a week after mine maybe. You may find out this week. But my MCAT was 498, Undergrad GPA: 3.78, Master's GPA: 3.90, and I killed my interview as well. I was a little self conscious about my MCAT as well; it's always been my weak point. But, I also have tons of clinical work/volunteering experience and as I stated earlier, I did at Biomedical Sciences Master's Program. I'm pretty sure that gave me a boost.
 
Congrats, guys, on getting in. I guess will be expecting mine tomorrow or so since I interviewed the Tuesday after peonies. Hope it’s good news. Thanks for keeping me updated
 
I got tabled. For ****’s sake. Ugh. Yay for the longer waiting
