It is hard to discern when info is coming for those of us who took the August MCAT, so I thought we could form our own thread similar to the one already posted.

What type of GPA's do you guys have to get an interview without having your score in? I didn't know schools did that.

My scores were out when they sent me the invite. People have been saying that Iowa has an automatic invite system with reqs: 3.7gpa, 10/10/10 MCAT.

Are you referring to Alabama, Arkansas, or Arizona?

weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee....you go to vandy, plan on going, or want to go?
 
So, is it safe to say that interview invites have been pretty slow to come out? With all the buzz about being done early, I feel like I may only be interviewing for waitlisted spots now. Are we still early in the game? I am clearly freaking out. 😱 Someone make me feel better.

BTW: My GPA was a 3.7, but my April MCAT was LOW (I can't even see the numbers they are so far down the shaft). However, I am an URM (see my thread "What the heck am I?") so that probably played into it.

We are not early in the game but you're not interviewing for waitlist spots just yet. Some schools, especially the UCs, are just barely starting to interview. When you start to get invites, if you schedule them ASAP, you should be ok.

As far as being early or not, it is relatively early. There is lots of time left.

FYI,

I called Johns Hopkins today (long shot, I know). They are still entering the Aug MCAT scores into their system - their words. So I wouldn't expect to hear from them soon. They advised me to wait more patiently.
