cGPA: 3.5
sGPA: 3.3
1st MCAT: 24 (9,9,6)
2nd MCAT: will find out Sept. 7th!!! Hoping for around a 28
I was very surprised when I got the call for an interview. I figured everyone would wait for my new mcat score. I am very excited and have DCOM at the top of my list just based off of all the great things I've heard from current students.
Good Luck!
Crap. I must have said something dumb on my secondary. Still no interview. Oh well.
I also applied really early. I am probably just freaking out for no reason but I can't help it.
I got waitlisted the first time I applied. I think part of it was the lateness of my app. I submitted the primary fairly early, but because of trouble procuring a DO letter, my secondary wasn't in until mid Feb. However, I did get an interview immediately after the secondary arrived abd I interviewed in early march. My MCAT is decent, but my GPA, both cumulative and science, were nothing to write home about.
It definitely should help. I don't have basis for this, but I think most of the people who interview at the beginning, assuming they don't bomb it, should get in. This is why there is a definite advantage to applying early. Best of luck to you! Feel free to shoot me any questions via a PM- also if I know who you are on interview day I can say hi. I will definitely try to stop by the room while everyone is sitting around waiting to interview!
It depends. I was complete on 7-22 and have not heard anything. Others have been complete since august and have interview invites.
make sense. But if a medical student can throw some light on this, it wil be great.
Yep, freaked me out! Hoping I'll get an interview soon! 😎
Honestly, if the e-mail says you're complete, you're likely complete. If you hadn't heard anything at all, I would say call. At this point, though, I'd say just sit and wait it out for a little bit. It sucks- trust me, I know. If you don't hear anything in another month or so, I would say shoot them an email just double checking that nothing is missing in your file- there is always a chance the complete email was a fluke. It's doubtful, but it's better to be proactive and risk bugging them than miss out because of an error on their part. My advice: just try to stay busy 🙂
I honestly have not ever heard of anyone getting rejected. Like someone else said somewhere in all those posts though, people are not likely to post their rejection news. I think they tend to waitlist MORE than reject, but you gotta figure with 3000 apps for 160 spots, they usually offer out quite a bit of interviews (at least 500 if I remember correctly), so surely someone is getting rejected. However, I think it is safe to say that if you interview, you are unlikely to be straight rejected if you do well. That's really not very comforting though if EVERYONE is on the waitlist right? 🙂
They call.
yes but dont let the numbers fool you, you have to keep in mind that not all of those are straight acceptances and that some of them are acceptance after waitlist.
acceptance is an acceptance before or after waitlist.
halp!
You really can't be too worried at this point- you said you were complete in July and someone complete a month before you just got the call! You haven't been lost in the mix!
I understand I have no excuse to get anxious about this, I already have an acceptance for crying out loud. It's just this school is like 20 minutes away from my in-laws and I want my wife to have some support while I am in class all day every day. So I had this school on top of my list and now I'm getting all 😱 about it.
I have never lived there but I have spent a lot of time in the area. I must say when I first started going it seemed very alien to me. After a while though you just get used to it and it feels like home.
But make sure thata your primary is verified and released to the school.
