So most of the threads for this cycle have been created. We are still working on a few.

Just wanted to see if there were any other application-specific threads y'all would like to have create that you think would help you through the cycle?

Thanks!

Hmm sometimes we can create a google spreadsheet so that everyone can jot their stats and what not.... @SynapticDoctah did you create this?

I believe that was @Awesome Sauceome who created the spreadsheet last year. Perhaps he can give some advice on creating a spreadsheet vs a discussion thread for non-underdog applicants.

Maybe I'm thinking of a different spreadsheet, but I totally entered my stats and interviews and acceptances into some google spreadsheet, only to find that several weeks later it (and tons of other people's data) had been deleted :( So maybe a thread is a more surefire way to collect info without some anonymous supertroll messing with it.

Same thing happened to me.

I really wish that data was still there. It would have been helpful to see this cycle, in order to decide where to apply.
As someone whose GPA/MCAT arent balanced, its hard to predict what schools will think.

So I think if we do it this year, it will help next yrs cycle

Yeah, I hear you. Here is the "acceptance thread" from last year http://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/official-acceptance-thread-2014-2015-cycle.1093271/
But it's not really going to give you a perfect picture of where to apply. I never updated my acceptances, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!
