LM 64
Non-Traditional, re-applicant from last year
major upward GPA trend
MCAT 508
MD secondaries: 18 (all complete mid July through early August)
DO secondaries: 5 (all complete mid July)
II: 0 (screaming)
R: 2

Has been a lovely 2 months of complete silence, minus a letter in the mail letting me know I'm in review still I guess. Been somewhat stressful but staying hopeful/positive

 

[teenyfish]

LM 69ish?
MCAT: 512
1: 24
2: 20 (didn't complete a few of my super reaches)
II: 0
H: 2
R: 0

Kind of getting nervous, I was hopeful I would hear something by September but that's come and gone. I was complete early/mid August. I'd like to think I'm a good applicant but now I'm unsure!

I was complete around the same time and have an interview to one school (who picks students from a specific county/area that I grew up in). I just keep reminding myself that interviews get sent out all the way till Feb/March and ours will prob come in a little later. Stay hopeful!

Hi everyone! It's really nice to see that there are a lot of people in the same boat as me.
I have a LizzyM of 63. I am URM - AA/Mexican, Female, Traditional Applicant.
Applied to 35 schools and fortunate enough to recieve 35 secondaries back.
Completed all of them and been invited to interview to 6 schools!!!!! (2 as UC's)

Im still in shock- everyone bags on the wholistic approach but without I dont think I wouldv'e been this successful.

Really nice to see it's not all abt stats anymore.

[omalleyalley]

Hi! Just found this page after spending idk how many hours wasting my life on this site stalking all of you cool people for days on end...
Anyway, stats are in my signature- no news anywhere at all-nothing. on the verge of losing my gd mind but from scouring this site that seems to be a pretty normal response to this hellish process ?
I'm hoping for some good news soon (or any!) and rooting for all of you guys!!!!

Sorry, I’m new here. Can you tell what exactly every line in your post means? Thank you!

LizzyM is a way to calculate your stats (mcat and GPA)
ORM: overrepresented in medicine (Asian, caucasian, etc)
URM: underrepresented in medicine (Hispanic/Latin Americans, African American)
FAP is the aid that AAMC will give if you're low-income/disadvantaged

1: primaries sent
2: secondaries completed
II: interview invites
H: hold
R: rejection

 

[wb100]

LizzyM you can look up, essentially a metric of how strong your stats are. ORM=overrepresented in medicine (aka white or asian). Fap recipient means fee assistance program, depending on your parents' financial situation you can heavily discount the app process, I believe it's free if you apply to <16 schools. 1=primary, which is how many schools your amcas was sent to, sort of like the college app process has a common app that you send to many schools. 2=secondary, which is how many schools got back and said "if you want to be considered for interview, please pay us $120 and write some more essays that are school specific." II=interview invites, H=hold (basically the school liked their app, but thought they might like future apps more, so they might get an II later or not), R=rejection.

Woops we replied at the same time

Oh ok, thank you both for the info! Are Arabs an ORM?

Arabs are technically considered Caucasian/White but you can check Other and specify there

Got my last rejection on Sunday night, that sucked, really starting to freak out about having no interviews, stats in signature, higher GPA, lower MCAT

Im sorry to hear that, It takes a special person to work on a Sunday night to send out rejections.
