Oct/Nov edition of (see title)

Doesnt matter if it’s II or accept/reject/waitlist -- as long as you hear back.

I have not heard back from 17/25 schools.

I will be making one for every 1.5 months so those waiting in silence will not be too alarmed b/c a lot of people are waiting to hear back too!

 

[Isoval]

2 rejects (OOS), 3 interviews (IS), and silence from the rest out of 17, including three withdrawals that I obviously have not heard from.

I cri evritim

 

[USERX]

I would include IIs in that. Some states ar different...Texas xD

 

[sss1219]

Not a single school has hit me up since the previous thread on the exact same count as last time

 

[IWillMakeIt1]

Havent heard back from 25/36 😛

 

[Mr.Monster]

only heard from 3/14 thus far in the game. 1 reject, 2 interviews. Interviews ended with placement in the "on hold"/"continue to review" column.

 

[TheWolfOfMainStreet]

On MD side, 7 rejections and still waiting to hear back from 18 (for a total of 25).
On DO side, 1 acceptance, 1 decision this week (post-interview), 5 rejections, and still waiting to hear back from 11 (for a total of 18).

In total, 14/43 responses, waiting on 29.

 

[Lozzo]

I have heard from 13 of 33 MD, so waiting on 20.

 

[goatmed]

I wasn't aware exactly how much later the interview cycle was outside of Texas, seems like a lot. I'm done with all my scheduled interviews as of last week, with 2 TX schools out of 10 giving me the silent treatment but 2 out of my 3 OOS apps in that bag as well.
Good luck on interviews and don't give up hope yet!

 

[BuckStrickland]

Posted on the wrong thread lol

Complete for most late july, 10/47 for me, with 2II early in the cycle and 8 rejections, 21% (reapplicant)

 

[DrivenAndDangerous]

10/32 MD

7 rejections, 3 interviews, 1 acceptance

Good luck to everyone! & Congrats to Class of '22!

Id recommend changing the close date of the poll just to keep it accurate for posterity sake

 

[Avada Cadaver]

20/28

17 II, 2 acceptances, 2 pre interview rejection, and 1 pre interview hold.

Oops, yeah I fixed it. 5 weeks, instead of 5 months, poll will close.

Omg 17 IIs??? Are you the sole surviving member of an indigenous tribe?? Congrats though!

Not that I’m aware of 😳, I do have a receding hairline tho, so it might be that.

Shhh it's just a symbol of all the stress from the amazing leadership positions you've held 😛 I can totally see why it helped heh

 

[catmullclark]

13/21 schools have gotten back to me, so I just broke 60%. LM~75, ORM.

9 II, 3 R, 1 Hold

Wish more of them were rolling (1 school) as l'll mostly be hearing back in the spring.

 

[NontradPupper]

0/10. I won't panic until Thanksgiving, so I can at least eat delicious turkey moistened by tears.

 

[MareNostrummm]

Just two holds and 3 Rs. So 5/38 or 13%.

Lol @ all the people on SDN running around with 10+ IIs. Looks like a winner take all situation.

 

[BuckStrickland]

10/21 schools have gotten back to me.

7 II, 3 R

Are you including DO? I thought all of the MD schools were rollin

 

[Upstage]

Heard back from 12 schools:
4 R
8 II(2 Waitlist at my top choices)
1 hold

 

[Seikuken]

Complete early August, heard back from 8 out of 26.

6 IIs and 2 rejections. Not sure what to make of a mid-tier rejection while having 3 top 25 IIs...

 

[Orthopedics101]

Applied to 22 schools. Complete at all of them mid July. 19 IIs and 3 silences.

19/22 has got to be some kind of record lol

 

[catmullclark]

I didn't apply DO, and for whatever reason, a lot of the schools that have extended me interviews thus far aren't rolling. I'm applying top-heavy if that matters.

19/22 has got to be some kind of record lol

Check out @twentyeightmiles with 22/24 - probably the highest percentage I've ever seen.

 

[STcmOCSD]

8 II's. No reject/accept since pre-match for TX is still 3 weeks away.

 

[Pharaoh95]

Complete mostly late July/early August, 0 II's, 2 Rejections, 1 Hold (re-review at George Washington). Stats: 3.91/515.

I've just about emotionally checked out of this cycle completely. At the beginning of the cycle I was so invested in the process and excited for the future, but now I'm just numb to it all. If I manage to even get one II this cycle, cool; if none, oh well. Life goes on.

To be honest I wouldn't even consider the re-review at George Washington to be a real hold since almost everyone gets it lol.

 

[MCATISEZ]

30 schools, 3 II, 3 rejections. So 6/30.

Defeaning silence - 25

I was really complete in October (don't ask)

 

[tiramisucheese]

So are you counting things like updates about holds to the portal (but not email) as hearing back from a school? Or is this only for IIs and pre-interview rejections?

 

[Yogi2008]

0/10. I won't panic until Thanksgiving, so I can at least eat delicious turkey moistened by tears.

You are not alone, in the same boat with you. 0/19. When were you complete?

 

[Mr.Monster]

Edit on my post above: 4/14 now, received another interview invite a few minutes ago!

 

[DowntownFunk]

I've heard back from 3/21, 1 II (state school) and 2 rejections. Anyone want to scream into the silence with me?

 

[BuckStrickland]

Interesting, it seems like the majority are <50% even on sdn, I was getting a very different impression lol

 

[begoood95]

As of 10/25: 100% responses (withdrew from some).

2°: 23
II: 20
IA: 11 so far, attending 3 or four more most likely.
R: 1 (pre-II)
W/D: 2
A: 1

What do you want from medical school? What are you looking for in a school?

 

[878956]

I honestly believe when you have more than 10 II, you are humble bragging. You can't possibly have 10+ schools you are heavily considering...

Why not...

 

[studiene]

Applied to 10 MD and 10 DO for 20 schools total.
Complete between 06/22 -> 08/07 (DO) and 07/21 -> 08/24 (MD).

1 acceptance (DO), 1 post-II hold (MD), 2 pre-II holds (1 MD, 1 DO), 2 rejections (1 MD, 1 DO)

So hearing from 6/20 schools is 30%. I received my 2 IIs in early August and the other 70% has been absolute silence since!!!

 

[DBC03]

IIs at 5 (attended 2, accepted at one and will hear next week on the other)

3 holds

2 rejections

Expecting more rejections in the coming weeks.

What do you want from medical school? What are you looking for in a school?

I want a school that has:

• excellent research opportunities
• excellent clinical sites
• excellent faculty mentors
• an environment that emphasizes collegiality and student wellness
• a curriculum that allows for self-directed learning, one in which I will be able to explore my interests best
• dedicated step and research time
• actually integrated interdisciplinary thinking (think sociological perspectives on health and illness, problems plaguing our healthcare system)
• an overall philosophy that aligns with mine

Many schools advertise all of the above; I want to attend a school that shows evidence of and provides resources to actually achieve the above. I have many interests within and without medicine, and I want a school that lends itself to a nice balance, or at leasts provides me with avenues through which I'd be able to better choose my future path (academic medicine? politics? administrative positions? teaching? etc. etc.)

I honestly believe when you have more than 10 II, you are humble bragging. You can't possibly have 10+ schools you are heavily considering...

Def a humble brag, gotta get them internet points 🙂

What a beast

Says you my ortho man! I just make sure to stay on the threads you're on so that some of that success rubs off😉

 

[NontradPupper]

You are not alone, in the same boat with you. 0/19. When were you complete?

Just got my first II. Still belong to the 0-15% group, but 1/19 now.

I was complete late September, so I'm not concerned yet. Congrats on your first II!!! I received my first response today too - Hold. I'm just happy it wasn't a straight rejection!

 

[BuckStrickland]

Any reapplicants in this thread? I just got waitlisted from my only interview and just the thought of having to do this again is killing mee
