Note that this school averages your MCAT scores

 

[ecobio]

Note that this school averages your MCAT scores

If you have a score from 2020 and a score from 2024, would they still average it even though the first is expired?

I guess it doesnt really matter, i did fine on the first, just curious.

 

[pogolego]

Why do they ask the amount of outstanding student loans?

 

[dirtybrownwater]

How many of you are hitting the 500-word limit for the gap year essay? I'm at sub-400 words while trying to be concise without adding extra fluff.

 

[hopefulpostbac]

If one of your MCAT scores is expired (taken May 2021), would that still be counted towards your averaged MCAT? I didnt do great on my first attempt but improved significantly on the second so if theyre averaged it really brings me down...

 

[ankaraMessi]

For those applying MSTP, have you gotten any MSTP-specific questions? I did not even an option to specify anything specific to MSTP or research.

 

[Brownies_15]

is question 2 a diversity essay?? lol

I did it as a diversity essay! Definitely reads like it

 

[elephant98]

Anyone weaving in why us in any of these prompts? Not sure where it would even fit

Question 3 allows for a lot of room on it. I wrote about option 1 and mentioned programs at Stony Brook that would help me build a foundation for the skills I need as a physician to address the issues

[rosiemo]

has anyone gotten an interview invite or an invite to complete one of those questionaries?

 

[Positron1]

Praying a competitive Casper score can offset my OOS status LOL

 

[gengar117]

For those applying MSTP, have you gotten any MSTP-specific questions? I did not even an option to specify anything specific to MSTP or research.

So I applied MSTP and actually got the interview before they gave me the MSTP prompt. It’s glitched on the amp website and they just made me upload a separate document answering the question.

Hey, sorry to bother again but do you know if the interviews are open or closed file? I feel like I can't find any information or maybe that's just me 🙂
