Does anyone know if you can change your school preference? I still am just as interested in vcom, just another campus.

 

[Meera9]

Im getting so impatient!! I wonder what is taking them so long to send out interviews this year

Their admissions office was very helpful when I emailed about their guaranteed interview track, I’d try reaching out to them via email!

For the CV section in the secondary, what exactly do we put?
I feel like it's just rewriting all the activities from the AACOMAS App.

Do you think it's worth applying here with a 493 MCAT? I know the average is 500, but not sure if I should take the risk. My cGPA is 3.57 and sGPA is a 3.36. I have excellent application experiences.

It might be worth giving them a call! If you have a lot of clinical experience they might be willing to look past the MCAT! I think they do have subsections mins so I might look at that

That is the first I have heard about subsection minimums. I hope not!

Thanks, I'll definitely call first 🙂

That would really blow because I got a 123 on CARS

I got a 123 and then 122 in CARS. I hate that section! You would think we wouldn’t have received a secondary if there was a minimum.

True unless they are scamming us into giving money.

 

[Itisnottoolate]

Has anyone called to see when they are going to start offering interviews?

Did you end up calling them??

 

[soccer96]

Just called, next week they’ll start

 

[Itisnottoolate]

Did you end up calling them??

No but I am glad someone else did! The wait! This is almost as bad as waiting for MCAT scores.

 

[futuregyn]

Wait, did you guys submit to each campus? Do I have to pay 45 for each? I want to apply to all 4

 

[Itisnottoolate]

I think you only have to submit one secondary for all. There is a question on the secondary that ask if you would like to be considered for either campus or you can rank. Someone can correct me if I am wrong. I have a strong preference for Carolina campus.

But do I have to submit a primary to each school?

 

[Itisnottoolate]

I am pretty sure only one primary.

 

[futuregyn]

I am pretty sure only one primary.

there's an option to submit to all 4 tho

 

[Itisnottoolate]

there's an option to submit to all 4 tho

I know but I am pretty sure you only have to do one. I would double check with someone else though!

 

[weekendwarrior14]

Do they send II's for multiple campuses or just your top choice campus?

 

[FallenYeeter]

Do they send II's for multiple campuses or just your top choice campus?

One campus only

 

[Meera9]

One campus only

So if your first choice doesn't want you, they will send your application to the second choice?

 

[serendipity723]

Just called, next week they’ll start

Damn crickets out here huh

 

[Itisnottoolate]

Has anyone heard anything yet? I thought interviews were suppose to go out this week.

Called again today lol, they said they’re in the process of beginning to schedule interviews and they will begin after Labor Day. So maybe tomorrow/next week? :/

 

[Itisnottoolate]

Well I guess no calls today.

 

[Meera9]

Well I guess no calls today.

I am so tired of waiting!!

 

[Itisnottoolate]

I am so tired of waiting!!

Me too! I may not even get an interview but nice to know the process has started. I hope I do get an interview!

 

[Bgro76]

Anyone still not receive a secondary but are well above screen stats?

 

[Itisnottoolate]

Are you in one of the target states?

 

[Bgro76]

Are you in one of the target states?

Pennsylvania? Maybe?

 

[Itisnottoolate]

Pennsylvania? Maybe?

I think that may be a target state. I would check your spam. Apparently, this has happened to others last year and the secondary was just sitting there. If it is not there I would definitely call them.

 

[hayshoe]
