They might or might not, but the later we get in the interview season the less time you might have to plan and go to an interview

Yeah, that's why I was wondering if these lucky folks lived in SA. After all, it's only 3 days before 11/22.
 
Has anyone personally or know of anyone who received a prematch? I know they said they pre-match very few but I didn’t think they meant no pre-matches.

Some people certainly do- I know a few. Just not common

during this cycle?

Yes on page 6 of this thread someone announced an acceptance. And remember that SDN members who share information are a subset of SDN members who just read it. And SDN members are a very small proportion of med school applicants

During my interview at Long I met an MS1 who said she was pre-matched. She said that only about 30-40 pre-match offers were given her year, and everyone who got one found out on the first day pre-matches were allowed (November 15th).
 
Hey guys,

So I interviewed a couple weeks ago but one thing I remember standing out to me is their PowerPoint where they showed their average (or median i can't remember) MCAT score was a 515.

I was shocked at how high this was given I was under the assumption Long and McGovern were both 512ish. I don't have MSAR but can anyone confirm this or did I misread?

MSAR gives the median as 514 and as you know, median is not the same as mean.

Congrats on the interview. Is Long on your rank list yet?

Congrats! I guess its a good thing you attended the interview! If you don't mind me asking, what's your TMDSAS ranking looking like? I interviewed at similar places (McGovern, Long, Dell) and am struggling to decide how to rank.

woah wait they sent some prematches recently? I guess they're not doing waves but rather individuals

It could’ve been a wave. I may have just been the only person to report it on SDN for the latest wave.

God amongst men. 15 acceptances holy crap

Thanks man, but I think it’s because I applied to a lot more programs than I needed to. I’m nontrad so I was worried about my chance of being accepted anywhere.

Honestly ended up getting acceptances to places I thought I had no business going to and don’t regret it.

I hope cataloging my experiences will help others who are in my shoes in the future.

do you guys mind posting stats? I thought my interview went AMAZING and my stats are pretty high. I know Long doesn't do a ton of prematches so I'm wondering if you guys are superstars in the stats category.
