Hi, this is my first time posting, so I hope you guys will be able to help me out!
I went into the application process last summer a little blindly and applied to pretty top notch schools with a little less than average stats (3.7 Overall and 3.6 BCPM and 27N MCATs). And that is after taking the MCAT twice (first time I got a 26M). I am on Exec Staff of a volunteer program (three years), have College of Letters and Science Honors and possibly Departmental Honors at graduation. I did a one year Honors Thesis on Protein Expression research and worked as a supervisor at a dorm front desk for my first three years of school. I applied to 29 schools and had three interviews (UCONN, Loyola and Georgetown) and am now on three waitlists. I am in the bottom 1/3 of the list at UCONN and neither Georgetown or Loyola will let me know where I am on the list, so I am wondering if I should reapply June 1st or wait until later to reapply in case I don't get in. Does anyone know how likely it is for people to get in off the waitlists of these schools?
I applied to the Special Masters Programs at Georgetown and Finch and just found out I got in to both of those, so I am excited to be going somewhere next year, rather than trying to start looking for a job!
But, I need advice about when to reapply and whether to take the MCAT again?? Any advice would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!!!
