Technically no. However I saw on this thread last year that some interviewers actually told the interviewee but that was not protocol. Casper doesn't give you scores, they send them directly to the school.
Yes, I think everyone's did. Don't worry about it.
I virtually met with an Admissions Counselor for a DO program and while reviewing my application, she told me my score. I do not believe Meharry offers counseling appointments, but you could try with another program on your list.
Well you never get results back. They are sent directly to the school. I think they said it takes 3 weeks maybe? The website has the info.
25th of? Honestly they interview until relatively late so I wouldn't stress. Not many II have been sent.
Just received an II
Congrats!! What are your stats and when were you complete?
Happy tears for you and sad tears for me lol. When did you apply and what were your stats?
following
What was your MCAT score? I’m retaking in January also
What were your stats?
What’s the 4th HBCU school?
I believe the IIs reported are legitimate. The people reporting have IIs from other programs judging by their post history so they know the difference. Read the last couple of pages and you should find the II with stats.
What was your MCAT?
2.82 u gpa
Howard will not consider umder a 494 if u want to save money
Howard will not consider umder a 494
I said the same they have like 515 i know they not even goimg to go to Meharry
But they will consider Jan ‘21 MCAT scores
Even if they were they still wont go lol
Meharry and morehouse u should get secondary same day if not u probably were screened
Not necessarily. I saw one person who has stats pretty similar to mine that got an II. It honestly is just super individualized.
Just be patient. Believe me. It doesn't mean you're not on their radar. There could be a million reasons. I've honestly been trying to keep a level head because they are also my first choice and I've seen a few users with similar stats as me getting II and the tendency to get anxious can be kind of strong but I'm trying to just believe in my worth and know that whatever is meant to happen will happen.
I looked through the thread again and they are definitely working from higher MCATs to lower MCATs. Two people's LizzyM score (generalized stats) might be similar, but if you analyze it closer, they could be different. It could be either a combination of a high GPA + low MCAT or a lower GPA + high MCAT. I just think Meharry is prioritizing higher MCATs first (a lot of school's do that). Not saying they can't or won't deviate from that but that's the pattern I am seeing. It's a cycle: those high stat applicants end up choosing other programs and Meharry has no choice but to look at other applicants.
Yeah, I wasn't referring to LizzyM actually I was talking about actual gpa and MCAT score but I see your point. However with their average mcat being a 502, I'd imagine they take PLENTY of "lower" MCAT scores (much more than other schools). Let's all just hope for the best!
490. One of my mentors believes my application, stats and background will heavily outweigh it, but I’m still retaking
Of the three reported IIs (unless I missed someone), one had a LizzyM 73, another an mcat of 511, and another a lizzym 72 so I feel like there is a pattern. Meharry's 90th percentile MCAT is like a 508 ish (my MSAR expired lol) so all those scores are well above that. I agree with your overall sentiment though. My point was that I believe they are working their way down, that's all. But I don't want to derail the thread any further. Fingers crossed for us all!
This is true. But if you look there are people who get into medical schools with very low MCAT, for whatever reason. My mentors are black males and they said their scores were less than sub par. I agree with you though, Howard is strict but I always feel what’s for you, is for you. Plus, a lot of PWI medical programs are now committed to being very holistic and trying to get more black students then ever, especially black males. So folks, don’t give up!
Not really. I already heard they were slow and people just started getting secondaries about a week or two ago. But I might’ve screened out of Morehouse, for whatever reason. But Meharry has at least corresponded with me through email.
Definitely! Appreciate that! Best Wishes!
They rank their waitlist by gpa. 490 is a no go for them, so definitely retake
I didn't get a secondary from Meharry same day. I got a secondary like 2 weeks later. They were actually the last school to send me a secondary.
yeah, Same. I didn't get Meharry's secondary to like a week after. Something must be messed up on their end bc they sent me an email saying my application was complete and being reviewed before they even sent me the secondary.
Some schools send IIs in waves to prevent overflooding the system
Lol maybe....they sent like 5
oh okay gotcha, thank you so much! the email said check the link to see how interviews are given and I was so confused
