For this essay: Is becoming a physician a second career for you? If so, what was your first career choice? (2000 characters)
What if being a physician was always my first choice? Do I leave this blank? Sort of feel uncomfortable doing that though.

Leave it blank. The prompt says, “IF so” and does not apply to you.

You already answered “Why medicine?” with your personal statement so unless you’re non-trad answering this would be redundant
If i went to school to do something else but switched out before even close to finishing should I write about it in my Is becoming a physician a second career for you? If so, what was your first career choice? (2000 characters) essay?
I talk about it in my 3rd essay anyways regarding unique educational situation/experiences and it wasn't really a career choice, just a year in school

I’d say no. You didn’t have another career.
For the 3rd prompt, would you guys say a diversity essay is better (growing up ESL and bicultural and having a hard time assimilating, but eventually embracing it, etc) or adversity (being raised by a single mother, then reaching out to my father when I got older)
Why are they 2 separate essays? ESL, single mother - these are hardships you had to go through. Those go together. Not so sure hard time assimilating and reaching out to father play a role in this 2000 character essay.

The med school is more LGBT friendly and is in a different city. Also, Baylor is a private school, so being a resident doesn't matter so much for tuition purposes (and tuition at Baylor is cheap).
BCM is no longer connected to Baylor University
@EmbryonalCarcinoma is right on both points here. Houston is LGBTQ friendly, and is a cosmopolitan city very unlike Waco Texas, the location of the undergrad university.
Houston’s mayor for 6 years was gay.
Google Montrose district Houston and its proximity to BCM.
Baylor college of Medicine is unaffiliated with Baylor University.
There are many different ways to establish residency. Many buy a condo or a piece of land. The difference between instate and out of state not a high amount compared to other private schools.

One issue for OOS is that there are about 16 seats for OOS outside of MD/PhD.
Hi everyone,
I recently submitted my secondary application, however, when checking my application status, I see the following message "We have not received one or more of your letters of recommendation, supplemental application, and supplemental application fee. " Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

If you are complete it will say "Your application is complete and is being reviewed by the committee." after you input your info.

Yea, to the above points. Living in Houston right now, the city is extremely friendly and accepting. Furthermore the entire Texas Medical Center is very friendly. Most of the doctors are really young too.
Would you guys suggest answering the gap year question as more of a listing where i talk about my goals and then some of the notable activites briefly? i feel i have done this already in the activities section
or would you suggest picking two or so activites and going into depth about them and then just quickly mentioning the rest. i feel this is really similar to most meaninful/activity descriptions too
thanks! i dont want it to come off as too list-y but i feel that's closer to what they want

Baylor allows you to open a secondary without verification.
if you are applying straight from college, no -
if you worked doing something else before applying to med school, tell about it.

not to sound snarky but I think max 4 letters means max 4 letters - I wouldn't push it!
you don't sound snarky at all! I was just confused my the wording because the portal asks us to list letters from all research supervisors, and this says "a minimum of one additional letters" on top of the 4, which made me think we coudl submit more than that if we had more research supervisors? more of a confusion with phrasing than me trying to push a limit 🙂

I can't go to my assigned date, either, but for personal (not another interview) reasons. Did you select this option on the form?
I will be unable to attend the scheduled interview date. Please have someone from the Admissions Office contact me for an alternative date. |
Yep, hopefully there is another date available.

Is it advised to submit the secondary before your AMCAS is processed?

They assign you one date, so I don't know what dates are available.
Baylor posted their class profile for this year
80% IS, 20% OOS
Mean GPA: 3.9
Mean MCAT: 517.5
Note: MSAR has the Median stats at 3.93 / 518 for accepted. This seems accurate for this year too.
