I am truly grateful to you for all those withdraws. Clearing space for the rest of us 😛
Congrats on a successful cycle!

Does anyone know the average number of II applicants (as a whole) receive within an application period? I'm not asking about the probability of acceptances given # of II. I heard it was bimodal in which a bulk of applicants have 1 II or 3 II.

Roughly 50% of matriculants have 3 or less interviews. With 20ish percent only receiving one. There is no data available for all applicants.
It's probably safe to assume 40ish percent of applicants receive no IIs with 68% of applicants receiving no more than one and 80% receiving no more than 3.

Ah ok thanks. I come from a math heavy background so it would be interesting to see the breakdown of the applicants.

I am mobile so can't link, it's called the matriculants survey data . Also the amcas has applicant / matriculants data that is a google search away .

Frogger has had some luck with those stats . It might be state differences

My state is the worst state to be from for a prospective medical student. I'm a white male, also. No, it's not CA. There is one state that is worse.

Pennsylvania?

 

[skrolls]

When did you all submit your secondaries?

 

[Kkshake]

I'm beginning to think my state only does silent rejections because I've been complete since early July and still haven't heard ANYTHING...

Florida?

 

[freak7]

Florida?

Nope, I feel like Florida is actually a nice state for applicants.

PA seems like a great state to be from!

Don't give up hope everybody, my cycle has had much more success that I thought it would before I entered the cycle.

 

[Levrone]

Its not. There's a chart somewhere that shows acceptance rate for each individual state. Florida had a very low acceptance rate

 

[wiglet64]

LizzyM uses sGPA or cGPA?

[Amantryinghisbest]

I'm a lizzy of 63, and I applied late in the cycle but so fair have 2 interviews. So don't lose hope.

I applied late as well. Hopefully I get some good news soon.

Thought I'd throw my hat in the ring, love seeing the acceptances and success on this thread!

Are your acceptances DO or MD? IS or OOS?

I also applied late in the cycle with LizzyM of 63. Did you apply DO or MD? Where are your II's at?

Hey y'all,

LM 69
II: 2
Rejections: 2 (both pre-interview)
Holds: 1

i applied to around 25 schools and and am still waiting to hear back from the schools I interviews at. Good luck!!!!

 

[Papa Oso]

Wow! Congrats!

Thank you! I know I am sort of an outlier but "the stars aligned" for me to have a good shot. I happen to be the school's alumni, part of their Honors College, advanced science undergraduate curriculum, have a good life explanation for my grades (family drama) AND the main emphasis of my application is all about serving the underserved which happens to be the main emphasis of the mission statement of the school as well. It definitely is true that a LizzyM isn't everything, but you need a bunch of other things going for you to make up for it.

When did you get your apps in?

 

[Papa Oso]

When did you get your apps in?

Generally from early to August to early September. I did my AMCAS applications first and then my AACOMAS applications later.

* Don't get hung up on your LizzyM. Although I got rejected pre interview at newer DO schools, I got II from schools like UCLA and Columbia. Don't limit yourself due to your LizzyM...granted the rest of your app is fire*
