Hello all,
A common theme on this site is that there are some schools (both MD and DO) that "reward reinvention"
Obviously it would be bonkers to assume that screwing up in undergrad will be rewarded more favorably than a normal high stats applicant come applicaiton day.
However all the talk of "rewarding reinvention" has got me curious... what does it actually look like in real life ?
So far a few people have told me it could be any of the following:
-isolation of last 90 quarter units/60 semester credits over the rest of the applicaiton.
-general trend combined with a human set of eyes on the app
- isolation of postbacc or post undergrad material
-someone on another forum told me they even delete the worst two years of applicants who have spent more than 6 years in school.
Is any of this true ? Is none of it true ? Very curious would love to hear anyones thoughts and if one of the adcoms on this site can offer some illusory knowledge on what rewarding reinvention actually looks like.
Thank you all and have a great weekend.
