Official 2015-2016: Oh no, I don't have a single Interview Invite thread!

Members do not see this ad.

I think about 23?? Applied to very similar schools as you but also all my state schools (CA, which doesn't help....)

Oh, I see. I've heard how hard it is to apply from California. I have no concept of how good a 513 is because I took the old mcat, is that above average? I wish there was more transparency in this process. The guesswork and waiting and self-doubt are unbearable.

I think its about a 33 which is below average? honestly unsure at this point haha... but I feel you. First it was nothing but silence then the rejections just keep rolling in and my bank account is really hurting. Getting hard to keep optimistic!

A 33 is not below average. 31 is the average for matriculants.

Luckily I only have 1 friend that I know is applying this cycle, but is only applying DO so there are some differences in the app cycle

You'll get your acceptance soon enough 🙂

I know a lot of people who are applying this cycle. Some have done extraordinarily well, and some are basically screwed, like me. I wish I could identify the differences between the groups, but I can't. This has just been such a horrible, horrible experience. I feel sick when I wake up in the morning knowing I'm just going to be another 24 hours less likely to achieve my dream.

7/31

Oh god. Same exact boat and same completion date *biting fingers*

I have no idea how the whole system works over there. Looking at the Geisel forum today, one person got an II who was complete in September, and another got an II who was complete in July.

I just looked at your "MD Apps" profile...how in the name of God have you not received an interview yet? That's more or less as impressive as an application can possibly be.

 

[Thpinky]

Can I still join this thread if I only have one interview invite from a school that interviews like 700 and only accepts like 50?

I'm joining. LizzyM 68-69
1II (not a good chance, interview not till February)
1 hold
1 rejection

 

[Optimus-Prime]

Are you applying do as well?

Waiting to hear back

 

[Optimus-Prime]

Yea, it's going to get worst for IMG, especially Caribbean, due to the AOA/ACGME GME merger and the expansion of more US medical schools. With a predicted residency shortage in the coming years, eventually IMGs may be shut out of residencies entirely.

I don't know about entirely (not for a while), SGU just pumped around 100mill into the system; there'll always be a handful of spots I'm sure they'll always be able to lobby for

Lol. What school is that? When were you complete?

Wvu. I was not complete at most schools until late September to mid october

Still don't feel any better, even with 1 interview. But I am just insecure with the 1.5 month silences and all

I have a single interview at WVU, so I guess technically I shouldn't be in this thread.. but I enjoy all of your company so much!

And I appreciate it! But my app is no where near perfect when compared to others on SDN or in general (although I don't know real life people applying to med schools.. haha)

I just looked at interview broker and there are January dates if you are looking for something earlier!

Of course II's occur in the winter and early spring but I feel like these next 4 weeks are crucial for my chances and or sanity.

Couldn't agree more.

 

[cryhavoc]

Home state giving me the cold shoulder. You know, I know, we know, you prefer me to those out-of-state kids. Let's just talk it over in a nice II, woulda ya say?

 

[Benton23]

I have been complete at 1 DO school for 2 months, and at 3 for a little less than a month. I have a handful of MD schools between 1 and 2 months of silence. Not feeling jazzed. I'm now betting on the Oct 15 rumor going around (schools holding out until acceptances go out to minimize unnecessary interview invite cancellations.

What exactly do you mean by Oct 15th rumor?

 

[stemingen]

I'm from a mid-Atlantic state that has only one state school. It's been 3 months since I submitted everything, but their status page says my app still isn't ready for review. How should I interpret this? LizzyM 70-72, ORM, non-trad.

Should call the admissions office.

 

[Theseus]

~3.8 cGPA, ~3.6 sGPA, 31 MCAT . Last Secondary complete: Aug 08. Rejected: 5; II: 0; Awaiting response: 24 schools.

 

[barack_yomama]

3.85 GPA, 515 MCAT - that makes my LizzyM ~ 72? Complete late August/early September.

Rejected: 0, II: 0, Awaiting response: 11

Gahhhh when are we going to hear?!?

I'm sorry. What does ORM mean?( I know what URM means)

Over represented I believe (Asian, white?)

3.7 cGPA, 3.7 sGPA, 38 MCAT, last secondary complete late August. One rejection (Pitt), zero II, zero holds.

Shocked you don't have atleast a few II based off the MCAT alone unless your personal statement made you sound like a psycho killer. Did you apply too top heavy?

Not sure... maybe it's because I'm international (Canadian)? I don't really have a ton of options given the fact that I'm Canadian and haven't taken two english credits. My list is:

Einstein
Case Western
Dartmouth
Michigan State
Northwestern
Oakland
Rosalind Franklin
Jefferson
Stanford
Pitt
UVirginia
Washington
Wayne State
Yale

 

[pshock7]

31 mcat 3.83 cGPA/3.79 sGPA, 1 rejection, 0 II...let's hope we all get some good news soon.

 

[learner01]

Complete from end of August to end of September with two or three early Oct
4 rejections (2 pre secondary, 2 post - BU and Pitt), 1 Hold from GW (maybe 2 if Wake Forest's status is a hold), 0 II
:'(

what are your stats?

 

[learner01]

A rejection from a lower stat school that's mission identically matches my mission in life and is exactly where I want to live.

Bummer.

would you mind sharing your stats and what school?

 

[Thpinky]

so no one from this thread got interview invites this week?
