Went to U of Michigan
I have about 5 years of professional pharmaceutical research experience. Over 10 years of medically related research experience. For 2012, I was not accepted anywhere. The main concern the schools had was that I did not have enough clinical experience, even though my research was conducted at a hospital, I had little patient interaction. I have been volunteering in the ER since May, which will give me patient interaction and physician shadowing experience. Last year, without the volunteer experience, I received interviews at 4 schools: Tufts, Ohio State, NJMS, and Wayne State. I was waitlisted at all 4. Any advice would be great. Thanks!
I completed all of my secondary applications by mid August. I received a handful of rejections. I received 2 interview invites so far and completed one of the interviews at Wayne State where I got waitlisted. I have another interview at Wake Forest in December. I've applied to 37 schools and I haven't heard back from the vast majority of them. However, people who applied after me to some of these schools are getting interviews and getting acceptances. I've called these schools and they keep telling me that my application is under review. Am I basically in the "reject later" pile at these schools or do I still have a shot at them? Should I start applying to more schools in anticipation of a later rejection from the other schools? Thanks.
