I think it’s a fancy way of asking how you bring diverse experiences to the program aside from your ethnicity or other ways to identify yourself socially.

Really not OOS friendly but I’d imagine they’d be relatively holistic given a decent spread of GPA and MCAT scores on MSAR

If #10 (Have there been any gaps in your education from high school to college, while in college, or after college?) is also considering gap year, then how do I answer #10 and #11 (If you graduated/will graduate in 2019, what are your plans during this gap year?) differently? Feel like that is two 1000 character prompts asking the same question?

II! Complete 7/23. IS 515/3.89/3.74 MCAT/cGPA/sGPA
I still haven't submitted my secondary here due to unforeseen life events getting in the way... I'm OOS but my grandfather went to medical school here. I know they prefer IS, my MCAT 509 and went to a nontraditional undergrad.
Should I try to submit this late? Not sure how much they will value the family connection.

I think you should!
Stats?
Congrats! You’re having a good week!
Thank you - I'm going to try!
Question though - How in depth did people get with the research question? I've had quite a few research opportunities and am struggling to fit within the character limit.
506 3.91 URM
Thank you! Yes, I'm at 5 II now. Praying I just get that one acceptance!
Does anyone know the post-II acceptance rate for IS students?
Based on class profile PDFs on their website it’s roughly 65-70%
Got an II last week and I was complete like mid July lmao
Congrats! stats?
This makes me feel better. I was getting kinda down about lack of II 🙁

Do you know what dates are still available?
Unfortunately, once I picked a date, the calendar of options disappeared. But at the time I picked, options were all throughout October to the first week of November.

How does Maryland feel about someone who was a resident growing up (14 years), but is now a resident somewhere else? Do you think they could get comparable love to an IS applicant? If it helps, the new state is CA, which offers 0 in-state love to its residents. Parents and siblings still live in MD.
I think they will look at it fondly! Having in-state connections as an OOS applicant to a public medical school is a huge plus!

Thanks! I wouldn't want to waste my money on applying to a school that just thinks of me as another OOS applicant.

It really depends on your interviewer! One of mine was relaxed, but the other was more traditional (though not super stiff/formal either)
Congrats! Complete?
Congrats. stats please. MCAT/GpA any publications.

...lol.
I noticed today that it said "interview under review" under my status, which wasn't there as of Friday. I assume it means I am under committee review? I was complete in late June.
for anybody who has interviewed, was it with a faculty + med student or two faculty members?
