Had my interview here in October everyone is so kind!! Very low pressure interview overall, personally I messed up one MMI question bc I started overthinking it and it’s still haunting me 😭 I hope this doesn’t completely screw my chances :,) however best of luck to everyone, try not to get too in your head <3

Did anyone who interviewed on Oct 23 get an A? Also, did you receive an acceptance package in the mail?
 
lol I got a call from a number with memphis area code that dropped before I could pick it up and I called back and the voicemail was for a yoga studio that isn’t even located in Memphis and is in my home town lol … I thought I got the A for a sec 🤧 universe just trolled me so hard

i didn’t receive any acceptance package although for mentioned that… did anyone else receive one?
 
Is it too late to apply to this school? Do they have a GPA and MCAT cutoff?
 
Surprised to have received a secondary after submitting my application a while back. Its looking like they do a heavy screen before sending it out so I'm happy that they are thoroughly reviewing applications for mission fit. How long did it take you guys to receive an II after submitting the secondary?

I think its a 3.0+ for cGPA and sGPA according to the website to be considered for a secondary. Website also said 504+ MCAT is preferred but I don't think that's a minimum for receiving the secondary.
 
Did anyone else receive the email about the scholarship application? I'm having trouble accessing the link.
 
Hi everyone! I got accepted today and I was wondering if there was a groupme for accepted students?
 
For those that got accepted, did yall create a new BHSU student account and fill out the form there? i filled out the form but i haven't got an email back saying that the info was verified.

I believe we had to fill this form out and send it off before we could pay our deposit??
 
This is probably super neurotic but i'm following this thread as today is "technically" the first day my interview day said they would notify people of acceptances. i'm sorry, guys, for the neuroticism!

Yes. And here's the message I saw after submitting the form
"A verification email will be sent when this process is complete to let you know the steps to formally accept your offer and pay the deposit. The communication will be sent to the email address you used to submit this form. Please check it daily." Sounds like the verification e-mail is not immediate but you will receive one after the process is complete and can pay your deposit thereafter.

PM me, it’s not the official one but we made it before the official one was made and there’s a good amount of us in it 🙂

it took a couple days, but yes that’s what i did. they have to go through and verify them i believe.
 
How long does it take for Baptist to verify LORs? Haven't received a secondary from them and I'm not sure if it's because of the LORs

Hey so my LORs were actually verified after submitting my secondary. When did you submit your primary? It took them a while for them to send me a secondary as well. They're SUPER mission focused so their screening process seems to go beyond just the numbers.

Hey, thanks for the reply! I submitted Nov 4, verified Nov 7th. 21/24 schools sent me secondaries, so I'm just following up on this school

No problem. Yeah it took me more than a month to get one. They should probably get back to you with an update soon though. From what it seems like on this year's thread and last year's thread, getting a secondary here usually results in an II, in a similar manner to ARCOM so that's probably why it takes forever for some folks to hear back.

Funny enough I'm also waiting on ARCOM's secondary haha
 
For those of you that have already interviewed, Is there anything we should bring on interview day?
Pen and paper? Where do you put your bag when you do the MMIs?

I really wouldn't bring anything, including a bag. You're going to be switching rooms a lot for your MMI, and you don't need to write down anything. I would say just bring yourself and maybe some mints.
 
Hey! Looking to join the accepted GroupMe started here! PM me! It’s still pending for me to join the official accepted group me.
