When I last spoke to Nikki, which was last week, she said they hadn't even begun to review applications. Clearly, based on the acceptance of the two people above, they have now, but I don't think you would be wait listed that fast. Have hope!

3.38 gpa
I had a Rec letter from a professor that I SI’d for and another bio professor. I also sent in a 3rd letter that I got from an MD I work with.
I’m not sure if my clinical hours matter as I didn’t send in my resume! If you want to know anything else lmk!

Thanks! Does your university have a pre health committee letter but you still had to send in individual letters? Did you share your MCAT score?

Nope! No test scores were required.

I have a 3.4 GPA and 29 on the mcat I took in 2014 when it was the old scoring method. Rec letters were from an ARNP I work with and a professor. I have a lot of research and clinical experience which I mentioned in my essays.

I’m wondering how you guys managed to fit all this in the 200 word essays. I had to keep cutting mine down. I hope that I showed that I have a ton of clinical research experience, but there is only so much you can say lol

Can you guys that got accepted post your stats? I'm applying with 3.0 and 18AA/19PAT OOS and wonder if I even have a chance.
Click to expand...
I applied with a 3.0 as well and now I'm nervous even though they said 2.5 minimum .
 
Is there a group chat or facebook group for those that got accepted for Winter?

Right, so I don't understand where people were putting all this information regarding their background. There wasn't even a spot to explain why your gpa was low or anything like that, so I had to slip little bits into the two essays to try and explain without focusing on it (if that makes sense).

I was called yesterday to let me know my application was being sent for review. No email about it yet. I applied with 3.04 gpa, no test scores. I have over 5 years of lab and clinical experience, and my two recommendation letters were from a doctor and a clinical research coordinator.

We shall see what happens!

Do you know where we can submit a personal statement? Do they require one? I didn't find a "submit your personal statement" or "write your personal statement here" box anywhere.

When you complete the application, it will ask you for supplemental documents. That is where you will request LoRs, submit two essays that are 200 words, transcripts, etc., but there isn’t a personal statement submission. I guess they rely on your LoRs.
 
I hope my stats bring some of y’all hope I didn’t have very impressive grades I have a 2.8 gpa and a 2.6 science gpa as you can see by my user name I’m in the dental side what I did do was ALOT of post Bach classes to get my gpa to the 2.8 and 2.6 but I literally aced every class that upwards trend might’ve been something they considered when accepting me

I also got an email Monday saying my application was being pushed for review! No word after that. However, I just added my essays last week. I’m a little nervous I missed the window & am going to be waitlisted again.. guess we’ll see! Congratulations to everyone who got in!
 
Has anyone heard anything new from Nikki? Besides from the email that our application are under review?

They didn't transfer over you essays from last semester application? I was waitlisted as well but when I reapplied to Winter 2021 my essays were transferred.

Where do we write our essays? I seriously searched all over the application but there wasn't anywhere to submit a personal statement or any type of essay. Am I overlooking something here? Do I have to submit my application and pay before I can write the essays?
 
Well when I reapplied I realized my essays from the last cycle were absolute trash lol so I wrote new ones. I still haven’t heard from Nikki. I sent her an email and left a voicemail. She’s probably getting slammed this week, hopefully she gets back with us soon though.

I think there was a place to submit them under ‘supplemental items’ , it was under another tab. I do remember seeing it after I submitted my application and paid the fee. I’m not sure if you could upload the essays before that or not. But, I actually emailed my essays to Nikki. She said that was okay so you can just email yours to her also!

Did you guys find any promo codes for the application fee?
 
Also can we send in our transcripts electronically or do they have to be physically mailed?

You are correct. I paid the application fee after submitting my application and now I can see the 2 essays we have to submit. I don't think the personal statement is mandatory though.

No, it isn't mandatory, but depending on your situation, it could benefit you.
