Congrats! Stats?
Ok I got my II just now if that helps
07/13Congrats II folks! Would y'all mind sharing complete date?
Yeah I just signed up for a date, I didn't see another option eitherII received, submitted 7/10, 519/3.88, OOS, ORM
Has anyone signed up yet? It says they offer morning and afternoon sessions, but there was no opportunity to choose when choosing a date.
How so?i picked the latest interview date possible
because i wanna maximize my chances
Good luck everyone! My MCAT is a bit below their median, so hoping to join you with an II later in the season
eye eye!!! was eating brownies and then eye got the eye-eye!

@pennylane8991How do we know if we were given a morning or afternoon interview schedule? I was able to select a date, but nothing else.
I wrote about a professional challenge. My example was a mishap at work (non-healthcare field) that I was involved with; it resulted in property damage and a mishap investigation. I wrote about the incident, how I dealt with the stress of the investigation, the aftermath, what I learned, etc. (answered the prompt). Although it affected me personally, I consider this a professional challenge. While, a personal challenge might be dealing with a family member's illness, etc.In addressing the "challenge" secondary prompt, I see that there has been a lot of discussion about discussing personal vs. professional challenges. However, I am having difficulty distinguishing between the two. Can someone provide a generic example of a personal or professional challenge?
Rolling them where?Does anyone know if this place is rolling admissions?
Stop spamming this on every school. You can easily find this yourself just by looking at the schools siteDoes anyone know if this place is rolling admissions?
Rolling them where?
I tried. Not spam, you could ignore it. ThxStop spamming this on every school. You can easily find this yourself just by looking at the schools site
You can look at last year's thread to see if they are rolling or not.I tried. Not spam, you could ignore it. Thx
It's on Vandy's website.I tried. Not spam, you could ignore it. Thx
Did you apply as ORM or URM?Goodness what have I done!
Are you referring to my old posts? That was my ex LOL... Yeah I should make my own accountDid you apply as ORM or URM?
Yes, but also based on your stats.Are you referring to my old posts? That was my ex LOL... Yeah I should make my own account
idk what u mean. am i a URM or ORM based on my stats?? how do your stats determine that. confused haha. DM me if you still have questionsYes, but also based on your stats.
That's a possibility and that's what I am trying to figure out.Or maybe stats aren’t everything and he has a fantastic app...
How do you know if a school is all about stats or not? Is it word-of-mouth? Are there schools that have high GPA and MCAT medians that are not "stat wh*res", and it just so happens their entering class has high GPA and MCAT? I am slightly confused by how some prestigious schools get this label and some don't.Vandy is known as a stat wh0re school (as some adcoms call it ) and given your MCAT score of 513 I thought you may be an URM.
You look at the data in MSAR or some of the consultants sites. Vandy and WashU are known for high stats. Here is one of those sites.How do you know if a school is all about stats or not?

I disagree, I liked that touch and it made the school a lot more welcoming.Really not a fan of their “welcome” page on the portal. Why are you telling me about things like sorry we couldn’t welcome you in person here’s our housing and moving to Nashville info if I haven’t even been offered an interview?
It's partly word-of-mouth, but I think it can also be seen by looking at the 10th and 90th percentiles. Perfect example is Harvard has a broader MCAT and GPA range than Vandy or WashU, but nobody is going to argue that Vandy/WashU have better med schools or are more prestigious than Harvard.How do you know if a school is all about stats or not?

Vandy is ranked between 15-20 and Harvard and Hopkins are ranked 1 and 2 but Vandy GPA and MCAT ranges are higher.It's partly word-of-mouth, but I think it can also be seen by looking at the 10th and 90th percentiles.

Then with WashU, take a look at peer schools like Duke and Cornell, who are just as prestigious and renowned but have a much wider MCAT/GPA range.
I am kinda with you that I think the way they're labeled is arbitrary though, because nobody labels Hopkins as such bc of their name, but they clearly are when you glance at their stats and MCAT/GPA range.
Well yes, that was my point in the first paragraph lolVandy is ranked between 15-20 and Harvard and Hopkins are ranked 1 and 2 but Vandy GPA and MCAT ranges are higher.
At the same time you said calling them stats heavy is arbitrary and word of the mouth lolWell yes, that was my point in the first paragraph lol
They are one of several ways to look at the schools.Although, to be very clear, the rankings are absolute trash and useless lol
It is arbitrary, bc Hopkins has much higher stats than Harvard, which is usually seen as a more prestigious school. And there are other examples with stats-heavy schools not viewed as such deapite having much higher stats than their peer institutions.At the same time you said calling them stats heavy is arbitrary and word of the mouth lol
