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

I hate what this has done to me. I used to be a fun person to be around, I used to have a sense of humor, and I used to actually enjoy doing schoolwork. Now I feel like everything is a chore and and I actively avoid spending time with my friends and family. Today I actually found a grey hair in my head, and I'm 22 years old. I feel tired everyday, and I look like I've aged five years in the past ten months. I have no idea where I'm going to come up with the money to apply in June. I honestly just don't know what I'm going to do. But I have to change something, because obviously what I'm doing right now just doesn't work.

God this perfectly describes how I've been feeling for the past month. I am so close to snapping on anyone around me lately. I hate this process. And I hate being poor.

I've never bothered to apply for it because I am almost certainly disqualified on the basis of my dad's substantial salary. (He is not paying for med school stuff, hence my current situation). But it couldn't hurt to try, I suppose!

Have commented on this many of times...FAP is the biggest load of bullsh*t ever.

Collecting rejections at this point tbh....

 

[JessebenBenjamin]

I have a record of five rejections in two days = great feeling. Still no interviews. Not a single one. Just my remaining schools, I beg, plead, will do anything you ask even if it means giving up chocolate, just give me an interview and an acceptance, please.

Worse case scenario... will you apply next cycle? or wait a year or 2?

What were your stats and school list? How many schools do you left to hear from? It's not over yet so definitely don't give up just yet.

Oh yeah, I mean we need to keep perspective. I'll quit when it gets to the point that I need to take the MCAT again. I'll call that my rock bottom.

Had been toying with the idea of taking the MCAT again this upcoming year and taking a year off from the cycle...Then thought about how f*ckin insane that is. Will never take that test again.

Hope you get good news from Jeff!!!

I go back and forth on the MCAT issue pretty much everyday.

Took it 2x...not sure if it helped me much.

I go back and forth on the MCAT issue pretty much everyday.

Yeah If I don't get in this cycle I'm gonna have to take the test again for sure and apply in 2017. The thought if it makes me nauseous but that's what may just end up happening.

What is your current score?

 

[kilez12]

Hope you get good news from Jeff!!!

Awww thank you! I hope to hear something good soon too. Crossing my fingers for you as well

 

[shapley]

What is your current score?

A 32, but I took my test on March 2014, which is only a few months outside of the 3 year matriculation date if I apply next cycle.

Oh, I see. I hope you don't have to retake that score!

If you apply 2017 you don't have to retake right?

The way I understood it the month didn't matter - it was by year. So if you took it 2014 it was good through the 2017 cycle.

So I could be wrong but apparently there was someone on this thread who took their mcat in May 2012 and got their score in June 2012 and when they went to apply in June 2015, they thought they were fine, but instead their score was considered expired.

so if you apply for the incoming class of 2017 [aka you apply this June 2016, you should be fine] but if you apply in June 2017, depending on the month, you may not be ok. Again, I could be wrong but I do remember this issue arising on this thread and you may need to confirm with AAMC or the schools to be sure.

I think we are on the same page haha. Yeah I understood it as three years from the year of matriculation - so MCAT in 2014 (regardless of month) is good for matriculation in 2017 (apply June 2016)

How many more schools are you waiting on?

What were your stats and school list? How many schools do you left to hear from? It's not over yet so definitely don't give up just yet.

approximately 10. I don't have my list in front of me, but here's what I remember off the top of my head. I really hope it isn't over because I am really counting on these schools!
Drexel: they said they aren't giving me an interview yet but they are holding my application
Loyola: Eligible for re-review
Howard, Buffalo, Quinnipiac, Meharry, Temple, Tufts: all silence --> really hoping one of them gives me an interview and an acceptance
Brown: I guess this is going to end up being a rejection because I think I saw on their portal that they interview throughout February which is almost over so there goes that school.

Worse case scenario... will you apply next cycle? or wait a year or 2?

right now I am praying that somehow I get an interview for the ten I am waiting on, and if not, then I hope I get a DO interview and acceptance. If I get neither, then I will apply next cycle [god, my fourth cycle. god oh god.]

I hope you do get into med school this year. If you don't me asking how are your stats? PM if you don't want to disclose on here.

FWIW I know tons of people who have got rejected from Loyola. So if they haven't rejected you I'd say that's a good sign.

It is school dependent. Some schools list January of 20XX as the earliest date they will accept old MCAT scores, others have a variety of months (June, Sept, March, etc of 20XX). Best thing to do is use the MSAR and check your specific schools.

The DO cycle is much longer so it's definitely possible you'll snag an II from one of them. Feel free to PM me your stats, I'd love to help.

With all these rejections, I am so scared of not even getting one acceptance. I have become very anxious due to this process.

 

[KatniP]

Finally rejected by arizona lol still interview-less

I got rejected 4 times from Arizona since apparently they just kept my name on the email list and I was in every batch of rejection emails 🤣

Checked my alternative e-mail (one that I did not use for applying at all) and Loyola sent my rejection there last Friday? Not sure how they got that e-mail address? Every other communication from them has been through the e-mail I used to apply with.

Did you use it or put it on your AMCAS application?

I had 5 already for this week, and now I am waiting on Brown because I heard they only interview through Feb and Feb is almost over, so I will be at six soon
and still no interview invites

How many do you have left - we have to keep hope for our remaining schools, we must!

totally had fun with the faces right now btw

i think i have ~10 left (including the 2 i'm on hold at). one of my state schools basically told me i'm rejected but they haven't formally rejected me haha so i'm not counting them either. some of them were not smart choices though so i have little hope for most of them. really only holding out hope for jeff, temple and quinnipiac (maybe)

[ifnotnowwren]

Did you use it or put it on your AMCAS application?

Nope, it's literally nowhere on my app. It is the email I used for mcat stuff. But it hasn't happened with any other school.

 

[whatsupdr]

Also waiting on Drexel- spring hold not likely. Temple , Jeff, Downstate, Quinn and Tufts. I have Miami, FIU which I dont think have rejected yet. Did Temple and Jeff reject yet I forget?

Yeah, I feel like Drexel gets so many applicants, but at the same time we never know.
Hey, Downstate is still giving out II, so I hope you get one! Same for Jeff
Temple is still ongoing as @cmo217 said!
No clue what Quinn and Tufts are doing >.<

 

[minnie94]

The new med school opening in my state just got a dean, so another option for next cycle for me in case things don't work out this year!
edit: this can also be an option for others, as it is private!

also at temple, i don't think there's much of a disadvantage to interviewing late, or atleast not much, b/c my cousin said there are multiple people from her interview day (late march) in her class, and the class size at st. luke's is small (~30) so that's saying something!

Hi just checking into my favorite thread to lurk on. I got a DO acceptance which I am honored to receive but haven't had any MD luck so far. I have an interview this week with my undergrad school so I'm praying hard! Good luck everyone, you all deserve this so much.

What school, if you don't mind me asking? (I'm sure we all want to know). And congrats on the DO acceptance! I would give my right arm and my left leg for a DO acceptance at this point.

Quinnipiac!! Also bananafish this will sound weird but just based on everything I've read from you on this thread I'm pretty positive I met you in person at an interview. (I won't say where b/c anonymity but it was mid January and it was super cold).

 

[ssggs]

I haven't posted on this thread in a while. Just want to share that I got accepted to a school recently! I didn't get my first interview until Thanksgiving day and the interview to the school I got accepted to didn't come until December. Best of luck to all of you!

Edit: First Acceptance! 😀
