Congrats!

ugh no New York love for me... it seems that my state schools are not giving me any love...SBU is my alma mater 🙁
but got interviews from 3DO schools (1 DMU acceptance), and 3MD schools (waiting on 2). 🙂 hopefully I'll get into the one i reallly really love !
 
Accepted to 2 MD schools so far! One of them is my first choice, so I'm pretty much done with the cycle save for potential financial aid packages that may sway my decision.

Yay 27-29 MCATers!
 
29P MCAT. i've had 3 MD interviews, with two resulting in acceptances! still waiting on the other two. good luck to everyone 🙂

28Q 3.9 GPA
applied to 7 schools...interview invites 4
interviewed at 3
accepted at 2 awaiting 1..


27-29er we got this.. lets make sure our step 1 scores are among the best!!!
 
25-27, gpa 3.6 ish, accepted to 1 instate MD! I believe my interview skills, good LOR's and unique/meaningful EC's got the job done! You never know what they are looking for until you try! Keep hammering folks

Congrats! What do you mean by 26-27? Did you take it twice?
 
I got something in that range that got me in, just once! Range for the sake of anonymity

Oh, I see. Thanks for sharing! It's very encouraging! My mcat is also in that range and I'm waiting to hear back from my one and only interview.
 
Haven't really had much luck but thought I would chime in.

I have a 28O 3.5 science and cum. I've gotten four DO interviews and three acceptances. So far no interviews from MD and three rejections (USC, UCI, and Creighton). 6 more schools to hear from but I don't think I'll have much luck.

Good luck to all of you I'm sure you'll end up where you are meant to go!

DMU c/I 2017
 
Just wanted to update my progress. 3 MD IIs. Interviewed at two (Lomda Linda and Carver), withdrew from one (MCW). as of this past Friday: 1st acceptance!!!! (Loma Linda). It can be done everybody! Even if your MCAT is average (or below average per SDN standards lol) just work hard in shining though in your other parts of you app (primary descriptions, PS, secondaries) and practice interviewing. The MCAT is just part of the whole application...you are more than just one score. Give it your best shot! Good luck to all my fellow 27-29 MCATers out there!
 
Just reading this thread..and It makes me giggle a little bit because I'm curious on what was the lowest MCAT score anyone got accepted with?
 
I was accepted to an MD program with a mcat below the DO average matriculated student mcat score. Also the statement that you giggle then are curious, i don't understand what you are trying to say?
 
I was browsing this thread it made me giggle a little bit then I started seeing that people were getting in to MD schools with 25-27 and It made me curious.

It really is not all about numbers. The people with subpar scores who matriculate make it up in the rest of their application. It's nothing to "giggle" at or be "curious" about, these people deserve their acceptance.

hey all, just wanted to close out my cycle by updating that I was accepted to my state school a couple of weeks ago. That's 3 acceptances, 4 interviews attended, and 6 interview invites total with a 29. Keep the faith
 
27Q MCAT, 3.4 cGPA, 3.25 sGPA

5 DO II (attended 2 - accepted at 2)
1 MD II (attended - on hold)

This thread makes me happy 🙂

No not yet, what's you're point?

Just don't see how you could know anything about MCAT scores aside from what you see here on SDN considering you haven't studied for it yet let alone even taken a pre-requisite course yet.

First of all calm down, re-read what I posted again.

I never said anything negative to make you or anyone else here feel "down" because of the score people got.

Also I'm curious to see If anyone got a lower score than that and got accepted to a Medical school.

Please read before you post things.
 
Yeah, I giggle at a lot of stuff too all the time for no reason.

I don't even have an MCAT score under 30, yet I read this thread for inspiration that it's not all about the numbers because my GPA isn't stellar.

Expect for people to get a little up in arms when you are saying you're giggling about the whole purpose of the thread. Glad to see that reading it changed your mind though. Good luck with college
 
Because I'm ranging from 26-29 in my Full Length practice tests, this thread gives me hope.

acslater, I know a 25 at a California MD school. One of the best med students that I've ever worked with.
 
You will all find that MCAT means nothing once you get into school, I was sub 30 MCAT and am performing as well as those with 30+ good luck everyone and yes keep the faith!
 
I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in..

URM/Disadvantaged applicant
28 MCAT

*I've only attended 4 interviews so far. I have 5 scheduled...

Did you have strong EC's or any other major hooks on your app. Congrats that is great to see and im sure you killed the interview also
 
Hello all, I don't post much but I hope my story can help inspire someone.

I knew I wanted to be a doc for a while but after 3 MCAT attempts fluctuating between 19-22 I thought US MD schools were out of the question. I took it a 4th time and now I'm finally applying:

19R (7B 5V 7P) -> 3 attempts later
28Q (10B 9V 9P)

BS Human Biology, 3.5 yrs total
3.7 cGPA, 3.8 sGPA cum laude, honors college, Michigan State Univ.
- founded a student organization
- volunteered with Ronald McDonald Charity Houses of Lansing, Boston, Miami for 7 years
- shadowed abt a dozen docs

- 1 yr Anesthesia research paid internship - Harvard Med led to a publication

- 2 yr Neurosurgery research fellow - Univ of Miami - publications and an FDA approved phase I clinical trial for paralysis in humans

Landed 2 MD interviews in Florida and 1 acceptance so far. My secondaries were complete by around October - November.

For all you multiple MCAT test takers out there - don't give up!
For all you 28'ers, just manage to meet their thresholds and you're good.
For all you late applicants, there's still hope!

Good luck everyone!
 
Stats and ECs available on MDApps, but briefly, reapplicant here with a balanced 29Q (23O last year), AMCAS 3.76 cGPA (magna cum laude) and 3.66 sGPA, triple major, several pubs, yada yada yada. I posted earlier and am now supplying a brief update with one more to follow near June or July:

3 DO IIs, 2 declined after my first MD acceptance in October and withdrew from all other DO schools at that time. Still waiting to hear a decision on the DO interview, realistically expecting an acceptance.

4 MD IIs, 2 acceptances, and one WL thus far.
Still waiting on word from 7 MD schools regarding interviews, realistically hoping for 2 to 3 more interviews, but wouldn't be surprised if I landed one more or none.

Keep your heads up. I'm elated at my outcome and couldn't believe I was fortunate enough to not only get accepted, but get one so darn early. Congrats to all of you that have seen success this year and good luck to those waiting. Feel free to ask any questions via PM, as I don't regularly check this thread that much.

Very inspirational! Congrats on the acceptances! Where were the interviews in FL? That your home state?
 
4 years ago I was accepted to great west coast state school with a 29.

Last week I found out I matched into ophthalmology, one of the more competitie specialties in medicine.

Keep following the dream, young premeds.

Congrats!

I have a close friend who is trying to get accepted with a 26 MCAT and isn't having much luck.

Did you have a hook? (amazing research? URM status? ) It might help others if those who've gotten several II's or acceptances could include what may have helped (hook, URM, region, etc.)
