Members don't see this ad.

I was wondering how common it is for Committees of Admissions to send invitation letters to students asking them to apply to their med schools, after MCAT scores are available.

Very common. They want your application fee.


There's another thread about this somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look for it.

Seriously. I got one from Illinois, telling me I should apply for their MD/PhD program. I applied M.D only, not because of the letter but because it was on my list. It's been.....4 months and still no word.

what does that say about my score?

Hey, at least they're from med. schools. Princeton review apparently still thinks I should be a podiatrist, based on my practice exams...

These are all bs since a med school application is a lot more than a MCAT score.

I got a bunch, all straight out of left field from schools I have less than zero interest in attending.

I got a letter from Wash U, (which i know is a numbers *****) so that's the reason I am asking. In the letter they comment about my MCAT score, so I figure they are trying to spark my interest..

It's a good ego stroke, but they really do just want your money, unfortunately. Top tier schools don't have to send letters to get great students to apply.
