I just received an application complete email from oregon health and that it will be forwarded for review. Anyone else?
 
Does anyone know how much GRE scores matter this cycle?

for what it’s worth, I have a pretty subpar class rank but great GRE scores and I currently have 3 interviews. The consensus, however, is that unless your scores are really low, the scores won’t help you stand out much.

Do you mind me asking what your GRE scores are?
 
Has anyone contacted schools on the list to see if they're sending out more interviews or if they sent them all out yet? I don't want to be THAT person, but I am that person that wants to know if I should let go of hope or not.

The response I got back from SLU in particular was that they only are offering more interviews if people cancel or can't make the interview.

SLU's Director sent me instant reply and copied their coordinator that they will send an update. But nothing came.

No one replied from rest of the schools in my list
 
Just received a rejection from UIC
 
I have an average GRE score and I received a few interviews this cycle
Going off that, I was 60th percentile in my math score and I'm sitting at 6 interview offers. Not saying this to brag, I'm saying it so applicants are aware that programs look at more than just the numbers on your application. Good luck!

Did you do better on other sections?
 
For those who applied to nonmatch and match, did you guys get any match interviews?

I got in the 80s and 90th percentiles on the other two sections, but I still think you can get interviews without stellar GRE scores, as long as you are strong in other areas of your application!
 
So, what would be considered an average GRE score for Ortho applications? is it around 50th percentile?
I think the cut off for some of the programs I looked at is 50th percentile. If you have above that you could potentially get some interviews.
 
for the applicants that have gotten interviews (congrats!!!) - do you see any changes on your ADEA PASS app? like your status going from completed to interview, etc?
 
Wow. It is so exciting to ear some of you have received invitation to interviews. Congrats!

Anyone applying to Texas A&M?

I just checked and all of my programs still say complete, no status change to interview or anything

Anyone know anything on UMKC? Tried researching the program but still not sure how it is.
