Not what you want to hear but yes it probably hurt your chances. That being said, it doesn't mean there is no way you will get in. Generally speaking it's better to wait an extra year and apply as early as possible, but of course in your case an extra year would be a waste, so I hope it will work out for you in the end!
No it just means they will look at all primary apps submitted by 5pm Oct 1.
like the my Gateway portal?
Yes, that
Was it like a separate link within your application area?
Congrats! I’m still waiting...
Stats?
I'm OOS, 3.85 GPA and 518 MCAT, non-traditional student
That's odd, do they send them manually? Their MSTP app is really short and nice. I hope I am a good candidate for a II, it's a lowkey dream school
Current student here, lemme know if you have any questions about the application cycle and the program
I'm fortunate enough to have two suits so I'll be wearing a different one each day personally. I think if you have more than one suit it might not be a bad idea to use two, but otherwise it should not be a big deal to wear the same one. Unless you sweat a lot or something.
Yayy thanks for sticking around! Do you know how often the committee reviews apps and what they like in applicants? It genuinely is one of my top choices but I'm facepalming at my secondary writeup, because I used 'neurotherapeutics' which I realized no one ever uses.Yay, glad some fellow MSTP peeps have crawled out of the woodwork
Nobody but you will know if you wear the exact same thing both days. Unless you drop some food on yourself, which can happen to even the best of us all.
I interviewed ages ago now... But I think you get the full folder on Saturday. However I still have my interview packet and there are separate sheets they gave us on Friday morning. If you like to take notes, just bring a small notepad and pen!
oh whoops, sorry didn't mention you were speaking about MSTP, I'm applying MD only. Thanks though!
Thanks for sharing! I hope they give me a shot, genuinely love their neuro work. I'll take an interview for any day. I'm doing a gap year at a semi famous place, so hopefully that reflects well on me. The more time I spend doing FT research, the more eager I am to start my career and get to work on my research interests. I don't feel you can be that productive in your gap years without a formalized program.
I applied from out of state so it's a little different from most people's experience. I had really good stats, but I am terrible at interviews. I ended up getting in super late, right before the TMDSAS deadline of June 1st for multiple acceptances (I was previously accepted to Dell in Austin). So I'd say even though MAYBE (but who knows...) stats are very important to receive interviews, interviews still matter a lot. Of course I have no concrete information so again, who knows...
I’m feeling kind of stuck because I thought I had very good stats (513 MCAT, 4.0, 3 years of cancer genetics research, and significant volunteering and shadowing hours). Haven’t heard ANYTHING about an interview...
Where on mygateway would I check? Every time I log in it just brings up the same 3 options (update profile, update password, and my application)
Not really, I feel bad for both of us! Still hoping there’s a chance
IT LITERALLY JUST CAME, I am not kidding!
Email. Would it look negative if I moved my interview to January 5th?
12/8. I went ahead and confirmed that date
