GPA 3.33 BCPM 3.30
hmm, maybe I should have put my MDapp profile on here...
edit: So I'm finally getting around to finishing my DO app and I realized that I screwed up a part of my PS (the bulk is the same between the two apps). I kinda of ackwardly left off half a sentence at the end when I was talking about my ECs. Ohh, well, life goes on...
I had a 33R on the Aug 2005 test: 12PS, 10VR, R, 11BS. My GPA is low, BCPM: 3.25, CUM: 3.37, but I have tons of ECs. Whatever.spospo said:

Did you get an e-mail from them, or was it posted on their "applicant portal" thing?
rumor has it that wake puts the numbers into a computer to screen and will auto-reject anyone who has under a 10 in any subsection....i have just heard that so i could be wrong....but i can say i have heard it multiple times. their loss!
Well then the MSAR lies. According to the 2007-2008 version the median MCAT is a 10 in each section, but the bottom of the ranges are:Kitra101 said:
VR: 5
PS: 5
BS: 4
WS: L (even though this doesn't matter).
Those scores are probably for URM's. URM's probably get an automatic secondary without being screened out.NCF145 said:
I was also looking through MDApplicants and saw a few who got the secondary with subscores below a nine. I don't necessarily think they have a hard fast rule for their screen.... idk.ChymeChancellor said:
the formula they use is kinda weird: 1x(science GPA) + 1x(MCAT) + 2x(submitted Vin Diesel pics)

What happens to people when they try to broach the "many people think vin diesel is gay" angle with you? do you kill them? not that i'm trying to broach the angle. just wondering if you kill them.Anastasis said:
that's borderline offensive saying that it's just URMs. i highly doubt Upenn or any med school let's people in with 5s regardless of color. maybe they let one person in so please don't generalize it to all URMs. come on, from average of 10 to a 5?
I think most of us have policies of NOT RESPONDING to affirmative-action-related posts. They proliferate if you let them, and the arguments never end, and never make new or interesting points. They just re-hash the same old emotional territory. Usually the mods are pretty good at confining them to the Topics in Healthcare forum.EBI831 said:
Did either of you take any pre-req's at Community Colleges? I know that Wake does not accept credit from non-4 yr. Universities.nager105 said:
Is that for-sure? If so, I'm hosed. I've got both semesters of ochem and one of biology at a CC (I was working at the time, for crying out loud! I understand their concerns about quality of education, but most four-year universities don't work around people's duty hours.)DrLeoMarvin said:

If a prerequisite course is completed at a community college, student must take subsequent courses in that discipline at a four-year college or university in the United States or Canada.
Wake forest told me that they are holding my secondary until my August mcat scores come in october. Not a rejection, but not a secondary either. previous Mcat of 28.
Anastasis said:
Umm....or it could be that a$$-kicker of an MCAT score you have, plus your good looks!
Thats really annoying. I took both chem and physics (and a few other classes) at a community college because I had to financially. We take the MCAT to standardize the "quality" of our classes (and I have an 11 in the PS, despite going to a crappy community college).Pemberley said:
it's just a joke. sarcasm is a good remedy for "stickinyourassitis."EBI831 said:
it's ok. they're just jealous because vin diesel is 100x cooler than they are. hahah the only movie i didn't like him in was that lawyer movie where he had hair...that movie poster was just funny to look at.Anastasis said:
No, I took all of my pre-reqs at my regular undergrad university. I took orgo during the summer so maybe they didn't like that. I know many schools think that going through 2 semesters worth of class and lab in 8 weeks makes it easier, but whatever, my MCAT scores back up my understanding of pi bonds and the Diels-Alder rxn. so it probably wasn't that. It's got to be the low GPA.DrLeoMarvin said:

I took all of my reqs at a 4 year. The only problem along that line that I can think of is that I'm not done with physics yet (taking physics 3C over summer [UCI=quarter system]).DrLeoMarvin said:
