Wat are your stats???

That school is very in-state heavy. Do you have any ties to the island? Because if you don't, that's probably why.

8V 10B 11P, 3.73 BCPM GPA, decent EC's....

oh well, the secondaries from UCLA, VCU, and Wake make up for it.

Yeah, I remember one year they only accepted 6 out-of-state applicants. I lived there for 3 years and would love to go to school there. I'm half tempted to apply to grad school at UH to gain residency, then apply to med-school the following year. Seems time and $$$ consuming just to get the school you want.

They have a point system. If you're in state you need like 7 to get an interview, but if you are out of state you need 12 or 13. They give points for high mcat's (2 for an 11 on any section), high gpa, a master's, a PhD...things like that. This could change, but I was given this breakdown by one of their deans. And they only take about 6 out of state, so if you're not from one of the WICHE states, then it would be tough.

Anyone else apply to Hawaii???

I submitted my secondary in late July and am still waiting to hear from them.
