OK, this is basically the "good applicants, post your stats" thread.
your "excuse" for posting your awesome stats, people, is if you've been accepted somewhere. it's not just for the sake of impressing everyone, which you're doing!! 😀
anyway, it's really, really fun to look at people's numbers, especially when they're good, so i'm all for this thread. i just wanted to voice that complaint because i believe it should be coming down the line from someone else pretty soon.
let's only post when we're accepted folks. you can do your showing off AFTER your acceptance. 😛

Hey Bomback,
Congratulations on your UCSD acceptance. May be I'll see you there this fall. Did UCLA grant you an interview? They rejected me post-secondary. If my stats are good enough for a UCSD acceptance I should at least get a UCLA interview !! I don't get it.

Undergrad: Various (mostly community college), but graduating from Arizona
Accepted: Penn St.
Cum GPA: 3.4
Science GPA: 3.98
MCAT 11V, 13P, 13B, P
Interviewing at Wisconsin and Iowa soon.
For anyone with funky stats, I failed 6 classes when I was younger (luckily none of them were science classes). Just be able to explain your problems; I felt like when I was able to explain the discepancy between my MCAT and cum, it was a deal maker.

Katie, you already have received a rejection from Emory? I didn't know they were sending out rejections yet 😕 I've yet to hear anything from them since the email saying my app was complete.

A friend at UF with ~37/3.9 Biochem major is truly humble and has aspirations for his family and faith that go well beyond the scope of medicine. defintely NOT a gunner. Been accepted to UF, cornell, waitlist @ Hopkins, interviews at Duke, nortwestern among others I dont remember.
A guy that used to live in my dorm had a 31/3.8 and applied to only 5 schools (UF, USF, Hopkins, Duke, Emory) because he thought "we would surely be shoe-ins for med school." The guy decided last year after watching a special on TLC about the income and other perks of being a surgeon to continue with his chem engineering and go to med school. No significant EC's whatsoever, including volunteer work. No interviews.
so it's more than #'s kids!

Undergrad: California State U., San Bernardino (where??? I always thought CSUSB was in Santa Barbara??? 😕 )
CUM.: 3.96
BCPM: 3.98
AO: 3.95
MCAT: 37Q (11,12,Q,14)
Accepted: UCSF
Lots of clinical ECs and volunteer work,
research... what is that?? (I have done a teeny bit, but nothing too significant)
•••quote:•••Originally posted by UCLA2000:
•Stats are useless without knowing volunteer work and other extras. Shoot for at least a 30 MCAT and 3.5 gpa. That's the average for accepted students.•••••I agree, as long as your numbers are in this range, you should be ok! Focus on ECs and doing things to develop yourself, enjoy life... don't be too focused on having perfect numbers. It will make you crazy, and that won't get you into med school :wink:
