They're a dime a dozen. Pick one with the least tuition, that''s given at a med school, and is a year in length. Be prepared to relocate.Any specific programs you would recommend ?

Thanks for the advice!They're a dime a dozen. Pick one with the least tuition, that''s given at a med school, and is a year in length. Be prepared to relocate.
Yes!!! I’m so happy for you. Mash it upI got an interview at Tulane!! I'm interviewing in October and hopefully it turns into an acceptance. Thanks for encouraging me to apply!!
Could be. You can always ask for a fee waiver as well. They can also see that you’re URM when they review your app.I forgot to opt into the Med-MAR registry when I took my MCAT, is this a possible reason why some of my friends have received fee waivers for secondaries but I haven't? Also, do schools recognize URMs who haven't formally registered for the Med-MAR?
It is almost that time of the year again! As requested, here's the thread for the upcoming cycle.
Please feel free to share your cGPA, sGPA, MCAT, Major, if you're non-trad, your ECs, etc. and ask and answer questions!
Dates:
AMCAS Opens - May 1
Application Submission - May 30
Completed Applications Transmitted to Medical Schools - June 28
Honestly, your undergrad GPA may hurt you. Especially since no one really takes into account MPH GPA's. I think you stand a chance though. Assuming you reported some shadowing hours and did extensive community service volunteering, C Mich, Wayne, and Oakland may be your best bet.

Publication: 1 newspaper article and 1 research publication in progress
Kind of shadowing experience, but reluctant to call it that.
Can you guys please be honest with me? I know I have low-stats but I'm really hoping for a holistic approach will save me. Do you think I have a chance?
I've already applied to the HBCU's and some of my state schools

Keep the faith alive sis. And you have to report shadowing hours. Don’t feel bad if it wasn’t official. Not putting anything will hurt you badly. I was timid my first cycle, and it wasn’t until i got rejected from 60+ schools that I realized...this ain’t the time to be modest. Medical schools do not want the student who downplays everything they do, because it comes off as you not doing anything. Now is the time to boast and brag. You want to use your application to show schools why they should pick youThat's where I applied so far and submitted secondaries for:
Central Michigan
Wayne State
Michigan State
Howard
Morehouse
I'm currently working on Oakland's and I hope I receive a secondary from Meharry
I've definitely done extensive community service hours and I worked as a patient attendance and said that they let me watch procedures and asked me questions (that's why I'm reluctant to say shadow). Also I have a strong upward trend in my grades if that helps. I'm super stressed lol like any pre-med student
I did the MPH because I'm passionate about that and wanted a degree in something I cared about in case med school fell through. But I am taking science classes on the undergrad campus I am at currentlythe sub 3.0 sGPA will definitely hurt. A post bac would have been better than a masters. Doesn’t mean a school won’t take a chance on you. I’d add some DO schools.
You’re fine. The biggest red flag will be if you put no shadowing hours. Most schools look at that and will immediately throw out your application. The low GPA will give most school pause, but the more mission heavy ones will likely give you a chanceI did the MPH because I'm passionate about that and wanted a degree in something I cared about in case med school fell through.

The only way she 100% won’t get in is if she doesn’t apply. You know how many times I was told to do a post bacc? Probably over 20 times...from like 20 different people. And while I did apply to post baccs in the end, it turned out I didn’t need them as I was accepted to medical school at the same time. I’m advocating for OP because I too had a “high risk” application. Yet I found two schools that saw something special in me, and decided to take their chance and invest in me. I’ve now successfully completed M1, on my way to completing M2, and take step 1 in January. It’s possible to defy the odds, but not if you don’t put yourself out there firstThat’s a great plan B. It’s great that you’re doing a post bac. You have to raise that sGPA.
That’s gpa is the biggest red flag, 100%. A sGPA of 2.8 will do more than give some schools pause. The grad sGPA will not be factored in to raise that at MD schools. The projected acceptance rate with that MCAT and gpa is <16% and the national average is about 40%. The best bet is to do a post bac before applying.

Noted, and I apologize for that. What I meant to relay the difference between low stats and an absolute requirement. For sure her low GPA will be a red flag. Nothing can really be done about that at this point. The reporting no shadowing hours (and I pray to God she didn’t do this), will be a hard stop barrier. Of the two things, the latter will be responsible for lack of school responseI agree with this. I am advocating for more responsible language. You saying that a sub 3.0 sGPA isn’t a red flag when AAMC stats show that the acceptance rate with that gpa and mcat are merely a fraction of the national acceptance rate is a bit irresponsible. I’m all for rooting for the underdog and shooting your shot, but not blindly and without acknowledgment of stats, a Strategy and plan b, c, and d to become a more competitive applicant.
Whats going on everybody
I figured id give this a shot.
First of all good luck to everyone applying this cycle.. I live for the URM excellence I see on these posts.

Type 2 Diabetes in AA - research paper written
Now that i think about it.. I do not have the last 2 research projects on my MD applications because they were not wet lab -- one was population based and the other was literature review... thoughts on this? Instead, I have two of my after college jobs in my app (i wanted to hit every category listed). I'd love some feedback as to whether I should swap them out for my SMP research projects.

I would appreciate some feedback on school choices, esp. MD schools, ( I dont much care for MD or DO as long as the school is accredited and in the US)
Would also like to hear thoughts about my activities for AAMC : having 2 pharma jobs listed as opposed to 2 research projects (lit. reviews with papers, posters and presentations), as well as not listing my time as MarylandSOM and Hopkins because of <1 year duration.
Not a FAP recipient; so i am trying to get my list finalized (yes, i havent yet submitted, but I have prewritten most secondaries so once those come in, it will just review and submit - thanks to SDN) .
Looking to submit at the end of this month latest!! Thanks in advance.
Not having your primary verified at at least one school at this point is likely going to hinder your MD chances at this point, but other than that you should get a lot of MD love. I wouldn’t even apply DO. I think your hours and activities are fine.
I would see if Goro and Faha can help you make a well rounded school list.
I know and the reason is that i still owe tuition at my SMP program so my transcripts are being held.-- taking care of that this week hopefully.
You really think i shouldnt apply DO? my undergrad sgpa is on the lower end, which is why i branched out to the DO side as well.. adding to the fact that my application will be late, my chances are greater i think with DO since that cycle runs longer.
I was also thinking of applying to about 20 schools (10 MD and 10 DO - or alittle more DO's for aforementioned reasons)..
Thank you for your input and congrats on your acceptances!!
I agree with OChem, you’re kind of pushing it there bud. Luckily, being URM means that alot of schools are going to gobble you up with that nice MCAT. If all else fails, apply to the predominantly white MD schools (Mizzou, Oklahoma, etc.). They have a quota to fill according to new AAMC guidelinesWhats going on everybody
I figured id give this a shot.

Current post bacc GPA : 4.0 (15 hrs of science classes, 3 hours non science classes)
MCAT: 498 (found out my father died days before, terrible experience, may be expired come 2020 cycle)
I plan on continuing to take more science classes during the coming up semester and summer of 2020. (~15-20 more credit hours, hoping to keep up the 4.0 or at least 3.5 or better)
plan on retaking MCAT in January (if I keep averaging 510+ on practice exams, but willing to push back to june/july)
Research:
Undergraduate research ~200 hrs, but in vet lab helping in research conducted on ticks
Shadowing experience:
-Anesthesiologist ~60 hours

I am not impressive or a stand out star and I am having to pay for my post bacc out of pocket so I would like to spend my very little money wisely when it comes to application costs. I know this is what I want to do and I am confident I will be able to pull the MCAT score up. I want to get a jump start on preparing for schools to apply for. I will be a first time applicant and I am terrified that regardless of my efforts I may be over looked so I do want to make sure I am doing all I can to have a strong application. is applying for 2021 too soon? @Goro
It’s a requirement for re-accreditation. If schools already show sufficient diversity, it’s not brought up. My own school was on probation for it. Now every year 10% of my class (and no more lmao) are URM.Where do the aamc guidelines list schools that have quotas to fill?
I suggest adding these MD schools to your application this weekend and submit the secondaries by the end of this month:
George Washington
Georgetown
Quinnipiac
Vermont
New York Medical College
Drexel
Temple
Jefferson
Seton Hall
NOVA MD
Oakland Beaumont
Wayne State
Rosalind Franklin
Loyola
Creighton
TCU-UNT
Yes, but include all the DO schools on your list.Thank you so much. so you also seem to share the point of view that I should focus on MD schools and maybe a couple DO?
At what point should we be worried about (realistically) receiving interview invites? I got one from my alma mater in early August and it's been radio silence ever since. From what I've heard elsewhere, you shouldn't start to sweat until around Thanksgiving...but I'm feeling nervous now, lol.
I got my last interview invite in April. You have no need to worry lolAt what point should we be worried about (realistically) receiving interview invites?

yes, I am registered for 15 hours for spring semester! After that my sGPA will be a 3.0 if I do well in them, and my overall will be around a 3.2. I am also applying to some SMP for 2020.You need to take enough additional undergraduate level science courses so that both your sGPA and cGPA are 3.0 . Post your new MCAT score here in the future when available.
Hi! Me again I wanted to say thank you for advocating for me again! I just want to let you so far I have 2 IIs Which I honestly thought I would have 0. Still waiting on the rest of my schools.The only way she 100% won’t get in is if she doesn’t apply. You know how many times I was told to do a post bacc? Probably over 20 times...from like 20 different people. And while I did apply to post baccs in the end, it turned out I didn’t need them as I was accepted to medical school at the same time. I’m advocating for OP because I too had a “high risk” application. Yet I found two schools that saw something special in me, and decided to take their chance and invest in me. I’ve now successfully completed M1, on my way to completing M2, and take step 1 in January. It’s possible to defy the odds, but not if you don’t put yourself out there first
CONGRATS!!!!! I’m so proud of you. Can’t wait to see those interviews turn into acceptancesHi! Me again I wanted to say thank you for advocating for me again! I just want to let you so far I have 2 IIs Which I honestly thought I would have 0. Still waiting on the rest of my schools.
I’ll be rooting you on when that happensI'm excited for you guys. Hopefully a year from today, I'm in the same shoes
Appreciate it. Thank you.I’ll be rooting you on when that happens
