New to SDN... I have an upcoming interview at MU-COM. Can anyone give an idea of the stats range for those that have been accepted?
Personally:
sci: 3.29
nsi:3.55
tot: 3.42
mcat: 24O
Congrats on the upcoming interview!
This is just my understanding of what you have ahead of you, but it is based on ideas expressed by admissions members at Marian and several other schools. The thought is this:
if you get an interview, they feel confident that you are prepared to take on the rigors of medical school academics. Meaning, your numbers are good enough.
Now, obviously, your sGPA and MCAT are on the low end of acceptable, but you got the interview! Thats really all your numbers do, or at least the main thing.
Now that you have the interview, and this seems especially true at Marian and a few other schools that emphasize similar sentiments, its mostly up to your performance on interview day. You'll want to be well prepared to put your best foot forward, because your stats are lower, but if you do well, you could get accepted or wait-listed for sure! (which is annoying, but much better than rejected)
So, look up MMI's, and get to talking about some common topics so that you can come across as polished, mature, caring, etc.
One last point of advice for you, and anyone else waiting for an upcoming interview, **pay close attention to the short presentation you have just before you do your MMI's. Very pertinent information will be shared with you that can help give you some direction.
In the end...BE YOURSELF...as is commonly said. Have fun! Be your best, prepared self, and dont stress out or over prepare.
Ok, this is getting long, so Ill stop here...Good luck!
