Nope. Just said theyd likely let me know where i stand on the waitlist around april 15thDid they give you any feedback opportunities?
Congratulations! Would you mind sharing stats/complete date? Did they tell you how full the class is? I wonder if they are still sending ii
518 3.8x, post-waitlisted as well
Wow, that's great! I wonder if I'll get an ii... I'm in state and similar stats. Lots of experience matching their mission
Thank you ! Did they ask you questions about your stats ? Mine are on the lower end so I’m thinking I might need to have a response ready incase they ask me .
No, they were just brought up as part of a random bit of conversation. The interviews themselves are very conversational and really just seems like them just getting to know you. I wouldn’t stress. Just know your own application and be genuine.
Thank you so much ! Others have said similar so that makes me feel more at ease .
Is admissions able to reset this?!They have access
They asked me a little about mine. One interviewer went into depth about my MCAT sub scores. I scored much higher on CARS the first time taking the MCAT vs the second and asked me why that was. Also asked me how I changed my study habits between my first two years of college and my last two and if I felt prepared for medical school. Was accepted about a week later
Little over 2 weeks!
Thank you
Congrats on your II but holy poop did you give me a heart attack with the "1/26 Friday"..... I have a presentation on Friday and thought it was today and I missed it

The general consensus according to previous years is around February 15th
I was a skeptic of our curriculum coming in but I can say after 7 months that our curriculum actually saves me so much time in preparation. Most classes are called Peer Instruction or PI. You prepare for the material at home and then you come in and answer multiple choice questions on a clicker in class. If a certain percentage of the class gets it correct, you move on more quickly. If not, you discuss it with the people sitting next to you and the professor teaches on it for a few minutes. PI is a really good way to gauge if you are studying the material properly before you get to an actual exam. BSOM has done a lot of research into their curriculum and how the frequent quizlike PIs reinforce student learning. Also, PI is only 3 hours so you can use the entire rest of the day to study as you see fit unlike other schools where you might be listening to lectures for most of the day. We also have TBL(Team Based Learning) sessions that are a little more PBL-like. We're given a case, discuss it in groups of 6 and try to answer questions about it. Not as big of a fan of TBL but PI is by far the main learning modality. Additionally, we do have MCQ exams pretty frequently(every 3 weeks on average) which is an adjustment. But, in my opinion, it helps you to stay on top of the material and be accountable. Also, we take MCQ exams first as individuals and then again with a group so that you can learn questions/concepts that you didn't understand from others in your group. All in all, no school's curriculum will be perfect and BSOM's definitely could improve but I personally how much time I am able to spend studying independently.
When were you complete if you don't mind me asking?
August 24th
Make sure you can explain anything in your stats/background that could be seen as a negative. The hardest questions I got were about why I did some of the activities I had or what I learned, rather than just explaining what I did.
I feel like there's still a chance, but I heard Wright State has a fairly strong IS bias. Personally, I'd hope for the best but assume it's a no-go.
Your last interview will be scheduled to end at 245, so you may still make some of the class.
