Congrats! It was very chill, mine lasted about 30min. 3 people interviewed me: A 3rd year podiatry student, A podiatrist (who was super cool), and Dave Fletcher. Dave and the podiatrist really made me feel at home and comfortable. I was very nervous at first but the flow of the interview helped out. If they accept me that is 100% where i would go

The first interview is just you and the committee for an hour.

The second interview is 12-3pm EST and is a group with you and other applicants.

I felt nervous too, but once it started flowing I felt better. Be confident and kill it. Do not forget to smile! (just don't be creepy lol)

What were some of the questions they asked in the group?

Can someone either confirm or deny the bad accusations at Barry? If I got accepted I would want to go there, but after reading these forums, I am very iffy on if that would be a bad decision.

Could you please elaborate the "bad accusations"?

What is important to remember is that at any school, you will still be called a doctor when you are finished. Work hard and things will fall in line. I was in your shoes a few months ago, and was advised to not make life decisions based off of what I read on here. If you like Barry and are dead set on it, go there. I am confident that you will get the proper education to be a podiatrist at any of the 9 schools.
 
Barry Denied me post interview, Im in complete disbelief. sGPA 3.4 cGPA 3.1 MCAT 488. I know my MCAT is not high, but I. thought my high A's in very difficult courses and upward trend in GPA as well as a good interview was enough to get in. I hope either Kent State, NYPCM, or Temple will accept me.

Yes! I have read about low graduation rates and the professors being difficult to where they would rather see you fail. Another thing I read is how there is very few resources for students that are struggling or need that extra help.

I'm sorry to hear that, but keep your head up. I too find that hard to believe. My GPAs were lower but I had a higher MCAT when I was accepted to Barry. What were your ECs?

Temple rejected me without an interview because of an MCAT screen I believe.

I have heard of people being accepted to other schools with an MCAT similar to yours.

My advice would be to study hard, retake and get a higher score. I'm sure even 3-5 points higher would get you in. I got in to Kent State with GPAs lower than you so you may be okay in that aspect. I have an interview with NYCPM on October 22 so I can not really speak for them.

Keep your head up, because no one ever said that the journey to medical school would be easy. Keep working hard and keep grinding.

you should plan on retaking the MCAT. I'm not sure if NYCPM is accepting the MCAT as of now but it'll be a no from Temple as well; don't know about Kent.
But regardless, you can improve a lot from a 488 if you put in the time.

Not hard to believe at all.

Someone could go in with no prep and score what you scored.

Your ability to study and pass a standardized exam will be crucial for future board exams.
They would be doing you a disservice if they accepted you knowing you may not pass boards.
 
Anyone attending Barry this coming fall ?

Just interviewed with Barry yesterday. I think it went well. I was told a week ago they were still looking at applications to fill about 9 seats... so I applied asap after talking to Dave.
