well i took your advice and called them. supposedly, after they calculated my gpa. its only 2.98 but i dont know which classes they only took into account. coz my undergrad gpa sucks, but my grad one is good; however, my prereqs arent during grad courses i guess. i thought they would take that into consideration though because my friend told me that when she didnt get into schools last year, they told her to do a grad program so they must consider it somehow :/ but yea, they cant grant me an interview because of the .02 even though she says everything else makes me a great candidate. i mean isnt it better to accept someone whos committed but made mistakes early in their undergrad years and improved from then than someone who has perfect numbers and using optometry as a backup when they really want to do md...its so frustrating.

hmm...So you have to have your prereq. GPA at least a 3.0 for SCCO? What about the OAT score?
Hey eyeloveit!
I know what you mean about being fast! i think i turned my stuff in like a week and a half ago and i heard from them already! I was super surprised to hear from them so soon and i'm so glad i did! When did you schedule your interview for? There were no dates specified on the letter so I am just trying to find the best weekend to go...Did they tell you when the soonest appointment possible was?
I got interviews for SUNY and Pacific...waiting and seeing how those have turned out...
Just wondering, does anyone know what is the proper etiquette when you've decided not to interview for schools that have invited you (say you've changed your mind or have been accepted elsewhere already) thx!
