Nice! I'm going to try the peanut butter one. The almond spread sounds too expensive.

True, it's like 3x more expensive, you'll only see it in the professional leagues.

virginia/maryland?

I'm applying to both.

 

[0Complications]

thts going to be my school if i dont get accepted anywhere else
and ye
they REALLLY like locals

Yeah they do. If you're in VA, you have a great shot there. If not... then not so much. But it's still not a bad school, it's just important to think about all the relevant factors.


Are you VA Chinook?

 

[BlueElmo]

I'm coming to Tulane party. I'm so hungry, what should I eat?

 

[Appless]

I'm thinking EVMS is going to be a tough choice, man. The only thing I would advise you about there is they have a very high matriculation rate from their SMP program, so their OOS stats are abnormally skewed.

Not to mention their GPA... Just an FYI to think about.

their gpa is a 3.6???? thats not high. What did you mean? I didnt realize that about their SMP program...but w/e id still apply theres not really another school id add in its place anyways that wouldnt be some reach school.

yups

 

[BlueElmo]

Michigan State takes in so few OOS, caesar, why are you applying there?

they do interview OOS
so its nt impossible
i went there for an interview day and i think out of 8 or 9 applicants
about 5 or 6 were OOS
3 from CA, 1 from FL, and some others

it was just one day though.. so idk

 

[Bryson17]

I don't know if I'd apply to EVMS from out of state. I'm hesitant to apply there from in state. I'm a little biased though just b/c I hear so much about uva and mcv

LOR writer went there.

They take a decent amount of OOS students, not to mention they are greatly increasing their class size this class so it could get even better. In the 2009-2010 class they actually took about 50% OOS. Their OOS tuition is insane though which made me not apply.

I actually think you have a nice list of schools. It seems well selected. I would throw on just a few more just to be safe and maybe a nice reach school.

A couple that might not be bad:

Creighton
Jefferson (I've heard great things about this place)

And I also think you might be a pretty good candidate for some of the Texas schools.

Overall, your school list looks very similar to mine.

 

[chinook]

oh shoot
that reminds me
TX schools open tomorrow
grr

What? My MSAR says they interview only 5% of their OOS applicants.

yeah, I'm applying to Jefferson as well.

 

[Bryson17]

chinook, are you going to apply to virginia tech? They aren't on the AMCAS yet, but I think they should be by fall time. I wouldn't mind going to school down there, I've heard carillion is a pretty good hospital.

Are you in-state? No, I mean the SMP program students would make the gpa less representative by left-skewing the data. I think the average SMP student has ~3.1 or 3.2, and they offer most of them spot, not to mention the ones they take from other SMP's.

Just keep it in mind.

yups

Nice. I thought you were in Canada for some reason.

I don't know if I'd apply to EVMS from out of state. I'm hesitant to apply there from in state. I'm a little biased though just b/c I hear so much about uva and mcv

Nah, in-state you've got to apply. It's a great in-state backup.

 

[BlueElmo]

oh shoot

I decided not to apply to Texas schools.

Vtech has a med school??
wattt
😕

i knew they had a vet school i think
but i dint know med school

 

[Bryson17]

I'm going to apply, but it's near the bottom of my list. I really want to head out west, but they hate OOS there. cept USC.

 

[0Complications]

I decided not to apply to Texas schools.

Yeah, I am still undecided. I might actually throw some DO apps out there too.

 

[chinook]

canada????

do i type with a canadian accent

😳
ok not so funny

 

[BlueElmo]

Michigan?

No, MSU.

Their first matriculating class is going to be in the fall of 2010.

They have a new website! I'm going to go read, this wasn't up last month.

So is it a waste of time to apply there then OC as an out of state?

And blue youre msar is always different...i dont get it are you using some like online version or something? Anyways the 2010-2011 one states that 23% of their incoming class is OOS, not to mention im sure many OOS people turn them down due to their insane tuition. I was reading that they are increasing their class size to liek 200 over the current 156 so that may mean more OOS spots.

It sounds like they're going to be highly PBL based . I'll apply there if I don't have many interviews by the time they open up their app.

I think we are talking about different things, elijah. You are quoting the class composition.
I'm quoting how many of their OOS applicants they actually interview, which I think is a more useful indicator.

I don't know if I would say it's a waste, but I would get all of your schools in line before you make a decision. Then see how much your apps are going to be and what is high/low risk. Then cut the fat from there.

Whaaaaaaat! Why don't you like PBL?

 

[chinook]

hmmm
strange (accent)

 

[BlueElmo]

I don't like the idea of PBL myself. Sounds like a waste of time.
I prefer the old-fashined lecture style.

 

[Lukkie]

Whaaaaaaat! Why don't you like PBL?

i'm not really sure what to think about pebble... if i get into a good school ill probably like it but a safety? i dunno...

 

[Appless]

Why use OOS interviews that doesnt make a whole lot of sense? Georgetown only interviews 9% of their OOS applicants going by those standards does that mean they are OOS unfriendly?

 

[Bryson17]

Whaaaaaaat! Why don't you like PBL?

Well if they're going to do that non-stop then I think it'd be worthless. Let's say you're 2 weeks into med school and they give you and 4 other people a description of a patient. Then you 5 have to come up with a plan over the next week. I don't think that'd be nearly as productive unless you've had physiology, anatomy, biochem, and pathology first.

Even then, why give them a scenerio? Just send them to the clinic.

 

[0Complications]

No, Lukkie wants 0C.

You know, I don't even find the girl in Lukkie's pic attractive anymore... I think she looks too masculine now... Just not doing it for me. You should get a new one Lukkie. You've had that one for ages!

absolutely.

How dare you edit out your affections! 😡

 

[Bryson17]

Isn't it 6:38 out there? The sun's not going to set for at least another hour!😕

But Georgetown is a private school, so it doesn't count.

i think that was a safety statement so it wudnt be awkward if he didnt get top

 

[BlueElmo]

I'm kinda sick.

 

[Caesar]

oh yeah, I want to go to a PBL heavy school also. Traditional lectures are not best for me.
