Do you mind sharing your stats?

I received an II for Burrell this past month and have an interview set for September 16th. Have a few things that were on my mind and I hoping someone can provide some input.

1) Anyone have an interview there on Sept 16th by any chance?

2) How many people does Burrell invite for an interview, basically what are my chances as of now?

3) Current BCOM students: whats the format of the interview? how can i prepare?

They openly said they admitted people with an MCAT of 17, I'm pretty sure you can get in as long as you don't do anything drastic at the interview.

This was the most awesome interview I had last year. Super chill. No traps or trick questions. They genuinely just want to make sure you're not a weirdo or a sociopath. It's gonna be fun. PM me if you have some more questions. I very nearly matriculated.

When/Where did they say this?

Anyone know the % of students accepted post interview (not including wait list people) ??

The dean said it out loud at the interview when I was there last year. Some other people on sdn have also mentioned it in the BCOM 2015-2016 thread (they also heard it as well).

I mean yeah I definitely think you have a shot. When did you submit your secondary? I submitted 7/10 and get an II on 7/20.

even if that's true, that is irrelevant.people get into MD schools with sub 20 scores every year. BCOMs average MCATwas 26 last year. they go off of fit and are extremely mission oriented. Your statement is useless and misleading

I submitted mine July 23, so a week ago. I had to submit it a little later cause I had to get the letter of rec from the D.O. Also, I called BCOM on Wed to ask them why my application is still incomplete. They said that even though I have submit my letters of rec to aacomas, they had some sort of a system error where they have to individually go and check mark the letters. just my luck. I hope I am still early. I mean I did my part.

Is that the average of students accepted or the average of students matriculated?

I'm sorry you are upset, but it is a fact. Also I will argue that my statement was not useless; OP asked if they were likely to get in and I am saying if they are willing to accept someone with an MCAT as low as 17, then it seems like it seems pretty easy to get in. Also low to mid 20's is much better than a 17, I'm sorry if you think otherwise.

That being said I did think BCOM seemed like a good program, good luck to you and all the others there.

Also as an edit, I will say I would have gone here because BCOM really does have a great mission statement and its obvious they are serious about sticking to it. The partnership they have with NMSU is also a huge plus, and everyone I met that day (faculty and staff) was so nice. I just opted for an older school.

Remember they rejected people with > 30 MCAT, just like many other DO schools. No such thing as an easy acceptance, you can just as easily get rejected at the interview even if you had the stats.
