Plan for Reapplication

Members do not see this ad.

There are mutiple state schools in my state. So if I withdrew and reapplied to the other state schools, wouln"t they be more likely to brush this whole stint under rug next cycle. After all, they have an interest in taking people in state

Also, I had a DO accept earlier in the cycle that I withdrew from. If I withdrew from MD, and said that I regained an interest in OMM instead, would DO schools look at me favorably?

You are missing the point entirely and, like many premeds, view everything thru naive and optimistic eyes and cannot fathom the reality of just how negative this will be viewed by adcoms. Immediately understand this: adcoms at MD and DO will universally view this as a HUGE negative on several of the major characteristics they seek on prospective physicians

1) research into the field: Why would you have suddenly found an interest in OMM? Why did not explore this at all during your preparation as a premed during your 4 years of college? does this show you are impulsive? do not look at things in depth? do you really have even the basic understanding of medical school or the medical profession at all?
2) judgement: You have at least 3 chances to not be in this situation yet you always took the wrong path
-you could have retaken the MCAT before you applied
-you could have chosen not to apply to this school
-you could gave withdrawn your application after interview but before acceptance
You chose to apply with this score, to this school, and not withdraw.
3) motivation: is your motivation to be a good physician or impress your classmates?
4) commitment: If you went thru all this but are ready to give it up, why should any school, MD or DO, even bother to spend the time consider your application when you might just not follow thru an acceptance with them

This is not some opinion but from my decades of experience in and around medical admissions. You will be viewed as impulsive, naive, lack of good judgement, motivation of questionable nature, perhaps vain and self-aggrandizing, applicant whos is above all a risk on committing to the several years of medical training. In short, an idiotic fool. I can not see any medical school in the US reconsidering you

As I said before, you should quit now, give your seat up to someone who will appreciate it, and go ahead and try. But when you wonder 5-10 -20 years from now, why you doing something other than medicine, and regret your decision, just make sure you think of me and how I told you what would happen.

You sound like your trying to find every excuse not to go to med school. Probably should withdraw then. Or you're a troll. Either way....View attachment 235957

Troll or not, we have to answer this ridiculous idea so other future readers of the thread understand why it is so bad

To clear things up, I was content with my score, but then I found out that my percentile score went down by 3 points this year. I didn't know thay untill I was accepted

C'mon people, this guy isn't even a partially believable troll. He used the word fond in a sentence. That's troll language.

I 'm amazed that so many people hear who have extensive research experience did not pick up on this obvious troll red flag clue. At least somebody got it!

"Fond of me for my MCAT score" indeed. It's like they're not even trying anymore.

In my day, trolls were trolls were trolls! You had to work to be a troll! Nowadays, any idiot can troll.

And if I'm wrong and you're dead serious, I support your plan 100%. In all seriousness, you should aim for SGU, Ross and CNU. And for DO, Wm Carey and LUCOM. Report back to us in a year and let us know how it went.

In your day, trolls actually lived under bridges, phones had cords, and logon meant putting wood on the fire

Go ahead and reapply. Report back next year with the results.

After dicussing things with another user on SDN via PMs, i've decided to not do this.

I'll bet you can guess why I'm closing this thread.
