Anybody else think it's a little late in the game for recruiting emails?

Yeah, I was pretty surprised by the late date of the e-mail. I received most of my recruitment e-mails and letters in July and August.

I just got this email now too. Does this mean that they like something about me as an applicant or do they send this to everyone that wrote the MCAT? I did pretty horrible on my MCAT (mid 20s) so I don't even know what their email is for. I didn't apply there since their Avgs were 10-11 in ach section. If you guys tell me that this email is sent out to a selected group then I will totally add it right away...eventhough it is really late in the game it might be worth a shot.

Probably just an attempt to get some more applicants..

I applied and didn't get the email you guys speak of.

I just got the same thing.. and sorry - but I have painfully average numbers, so it sounds like they are just trying to drum up some more secondary app. money.

Sounds like they want more applicants. I sent in a secondary in July and have yet to hear from them. It seems as though they really don't like my application! 🙄

Totally agree with this post.

It's really wired that a SC state school would send me (FL resident) a email like this. I never applied to this school plus I don't have very good MCAT score either...

Sometimes, I cannot imagin how money thirsty some of the medical schools are 👎

 

[beponychick]

yes i just got this e-mail too... and hell no, i aint putting up more money for another rejection! 🙄

sc is not a state school, it is a private here in california.

i just received this email as well. it's very wierd and very late. i'm in iowa- i wonder why they chose who they chose. my mcat was not very high in april, maybe that's what they're basing the emails on.

I think it's to get more secondary money. They probably typed up a rejection for every recruitment invite they sent out. So, nope...I am tired of doing secondaries, giving money and not getting anywhere.

18 secondaries done already- I can't even think of doing another one -even if they are serious- 😱

i agree, this is probably just to rake in a few late bucks for secondary applications. for a second, i thought it was because i actually did well on my MCATs, but if they're sending it to people who scored in the 20's (no offense intended here) then i'm ignoring it.

 

[tank you]

the keck secondary is also very tedious with 4 essays.

I'm not sending this one in unless they promise a guarenteed admissions.
