Hello all.
I have a few questions.

1. I'm apart of a cultural fraternity and the school awarded the fraternity as "most outstanding chapter" for the last 4 years in a row. Can I list this even if it's a group award?

2. Do schools give out interviews before august MCATs are complete and if one class is missing (taking in summer)?

Thanks!
Steve

I would list any sort of accomplishment that highlights you in a positive way.

Most schools will not interview you without an MCAT score. They do sometimes interview if you have an April score and are just waiting for an August score.

I'd say "yes" if it was awarded based on the fraternity's contributions to society, but "no" if it's because you won the intramural softball championship.

Yes, you should list it.

Most schools will not interview you before the august MCAT score. If you have a class missing, they can interview you assuming that it is in progress.
