What are your stats if u dont mind my asking?
3.53 Overall, 3.64 Sci, will be taking MCAT in August, so weird applying without it. What about you?
 
haha we are pretty close 3.66 science gpa and 3.64 overall. I got a 30 10 VR, 11 PS, and 09 BS L WS. I hope the WS wont be a huge deal. I got a few ECS and a a decent comitee letter. You think i have a good chance to make into any of these schools on my list? And By the way good luck on your MCATs. I hope you do well. 😀

Thanks! 😀 I think all of those schools have averages around yours so I you probably have a great chance at all of them. My ECs sort of suck and I haven't submitted yet :scared: Good luck this year :luck:
 
Good Luck to you too on your MCATs and Application process.
 
I believe NYMC also wants only $$.

good luck 🙂

Why do you ask? Are you not going to apply to some of these schools if they don't have secondary "questions". You may severely limit your choices if you do.

Agreed.
 
By and large the schools will have at least one essay question for you to answer and that one question will be, 'why here?'. There's a only a handful that only ask for a check (usually a large one too) 🙂
 
Its not because im not gooing to apply if they do have essay, its just that it would be convenient to know ahead of time.
