[GBCrzzyy]

LM ~61 (3.5/501)
Secondaries submitted for only 2 MD programs (I'm really hoping my only state school takes mercy on me but I went there for undergrad and have some good connections at the MD school so I have my fingers crossed that they like my app! Only became complete there about 2 weeks ago)
15 secondaries submitted for DO - 1 II on 10/28
Wishing everyone luck this cycle and I hope I get a little luck myself!

 

[dat_curry]

Isnt a 513 equivalent to a 33? So you would be 69+

Hmmm... I don't know. I'm just reporting what the calculator told me.

[BigBurd]

502 mcat score, 3.9 cgpa and sgpa. Should I bother trying? Have one II that got pushed from ED. But not too hopeful.

Anxious I threw my chances out the window cause I wasn't able to submit apps earlier..

 

[medicine4958]

Feeling a little more anxious than normal today with the first acceptances going out..

No interviews yet and LizzyM of 62 so I'm starting to get worried. Submitted almost all secondaries in July.

How early is very early, June 1?

 

[Havoc390]

How early is very early, June 1?

I'd say anytime in June is early. I was verified by June 17th.

 

[LittleEngineCould]

Hey guys, resident underdog here.

Anyone else here have a low GPA but a strong, clear upward trend?

 

[zerox117]

I truly hope everyone in here can snag an acceptance somewhere this cycle! We've still got a looooooong way to go people!

I app'd both MD and DO. Have been lucky to receive 7 DO II and 5 MD II. It is possible! No MD acceptances so far only one "waitlist"

Looking for honesty. Is LizzyM 62 just too low? Have great ECs and what I think to be a great story but have no love so far

I feel yeah. Keep at it. Is your MCAT 500+ ? It sounds good for some DO schools if you fit their mission.

Depends on lots of things! I have a LizzyM of 62-63, 3 DO acceptances and 3 MD IIs. While it's possible, it's not the norm - but you can PM me and I'll be happy to share my app!

3 OOS II and 1 IS II... I am in one of the better states but have not had as much luck as I thought yet (two of the schools that I was expecting to hear from I have not yet, the one I got an II at was a huge surprise lol).

3/4 of my state schools have been aggressively ignoring me despite have an mcat two SD's above their median. I just don't know how they work, maybe they interview their own ug first.

 

[lpp06]

Popping my head in here - 67-69 LizzyM; NonTrad; 19 apps, 2 Rejections, 1 Hold, 0 II's

 

[lpp06]

Every time I try to rationalize the process I end up being more confused than before.

I am below the 10% at the school I have an II at yet the two where I fall in range have been dead silence.. I am also on academic hold at the school where my stats are above their average.. this process makes no sense

 

[jf_huds]

LizzyM ~63. Nontrad. Complete mid-August.
MD: 3 II
DO: 2 II
My fair share of rejections.
1 MD acceptance.

 

[libertyyne]

Every time I try to rationalize the process I end up being more confused than before.

There is just a lot of variation in the way different schools do things , that's why the process seems random.

It's almost like they look for a specific word in the application. And if they find it , boom II.

Truth - I would be interested in joining the admissions process from the otherside - just to understand better.
