Is it too late to add this school to my list? Since it's "past" labor day
 
OOS II 9/7, completed 7/8
Anyone have a sense of what % of interviewees get As?

(edited to correct date of II)


It's a couple years old at this point, but this is the best source of information that you'll find.
 
for the most meaningful experiences essays youre required to submit for the interview, is anyone just pulling verbatim (or close to) the examples you provided on your amcas application for your most meaningful activities? it makes sense to me since they dont have access to that information in your amcas but idk if that's considered sloppy

I used two of the activities that was the same as my most meaningful activities but used different stories/words.

I basically copy-and-pasted mine. I looked at it as: "you choose what you want your interviewers to see". I put a lot of time into those stories within my activity descriptions and felt they were more accurate/impactful than any other version of them. Also saves time/effort. Your call tho.
 
For the “difficult problem” question, would it be appropriate to talk about a significant challenge from childhood/adolescence or do you think they’re looking for something from more recent work/volunteer/research experiences?

i personally talked about a childhood experience but i think either path works!
 
IS II a few minutes ago. Complete 7/9, LM 74.5. I am supposed to complete the additional questions 5 days before the interview, but I just scheduled my interview for five days from now.... I assume I get a little wiggle room with that?

Just get then done ASAP. Simple as that, if that’s today, great.
 
OOS II complete 7/13/23 LM 76!
For the questions, do you think non-academic excludes research experience? I wanted to discuss my research and clinical experiences.
 
+1 OOS R. Complete Date 7/7.
Good Luck to the rest of y'all!

Count me in on that OOS R wave, also first of the cycle. I was complete 9/17 so they seem to working fast
