Is there a disproportionate amount of people with CC on this thread or is there lots of movement from CC? I thought LKSOM accepted roughly half of those who interviewed.

really small sample obviously but i took a look at last year’s thread this morning and it feels like this year there are a lot more CC relative to A’s. a random thread said there is a lot of waitlist movement, but idk how true that is, and it may not happen until the spring anyway

Can someone explain to me why LKSOM has higher stats for IS as opposed to OOS?:

OOS median MCAT: 511 GPA: 3.74

IS median MCAT: 514 GPA: 3.84

are these for all applicants, accepted, or matriculated students?

i don’t know an official explanation, but i imagine they get a broader range of stats from IS applicants so it could skew a little higher. they could also get more IS applicants which would force them to be more selective from that pool

These are the stats of the accepted students from in-state and out-of-state students from MSAR. They also have twice as many interviews for OOS students (326 vs 723)

Does anyone know is the CC list like a rolling admissions list and we could be contacted in the next release or is it just a normal waitlist with movement only at the end of the cycle?

[cemetaryFaIry7]

+1, im so excited!

Any tips for the St Luke’s interview? (General vibe assessment etc)

also, best of luck to all 🙂

I was nervous about the community group interview but it turned out to be my favorite of the 3. Make sure you know your app well since one of the 3 is an open file.

I interviewed in early December, and I believe they said we'd hear back mid-to-end of January?
