Everyone on here that has interviews has almost perfect stats.
...with a couple of exceptions mixed in. 😀

Hard to tell if schools look at GPA or MCAT more with the people on this forum. Everyone on here that has interviews has almost perfect stats. Lets wait till they interview more people with stats below 3.7's and only a 32 on the MCAT 😎
im 3.56 at UT and 31N on mcat. processed august 8th. have 2 so far. but i feel like since i applied kinda late, ill have to wait until feb to hear accept/rejection.
i just knew someone was gonna get a UTH today, no joke. Congrats Adam.
So who all interviewed at Baylor today? I was able to pick out one of you. I was the loud, obnoxious girl who kept drinking all the diet DP.

I went to our interviewee lunch today (UTSW) and heard some people feeling bad that their interviewer gave them a pressure interview. This is not the norm, but I wanted to tell everyone that if this is the kind of interview you get, stay upbeat, stay calm, and have fun with it. Keep a sense of humor and understand that this person is doing this on purpose, whether for their own entertainment or because they want to test you. Don't be arrogant or get mad at them. Example: the minute you walk in the door, "Ethical issues in medicine, GO!" *thinking* "Stem cell research!" *clapping hands together* Have fun with it!
Hey! I interviewed at UTSW today and loved it! My first interviewer asked me the stem cell question, but thanks to SDN I was ready for it; still, I don't think I had a fantastic response, just a satisfactory one 😛
http://share.studentdoctor.net/interview/school_pick.aspxCrap, where on SDN can I find these questions? I'm still submitting secondaries, but I need to prepare just in case .... on the off-chance I get an interview ....
Personally, after going through several interviews, I didn't really find the interview questions on SDN to be very helpful in predicting the types of questions a specific school will ask. I think it depends more on who you get for an interviewer than the med school you interview at. However, the questions on SDN were helpful in preparing me for interviews in general.
I was the Asian dude with dark rim glasses? hahaha
I so saw you. I can't remember you exactly, but I remember you making a comment about DP.
Did you leave to take your cats to the vet? If not, I maybe be mixing people up, but I am sure I saw you if you made a comment about DP.
Lmao. Yeah I remember you. My friend and I were talking to you for awhile. Well, she was talking. I was harassing another friend of ours and not being all that helpful.
I was the one who got pegged in the back with the Nalgene if you were there for that. That hurt so bad.
So i just found out that I'll be interviewing at UTMB on the 5th and then UTSW on the 6th....any advice as to how to make this less stressful? Unfortunately I can't go to the UTSW dinner anymore but considering I go to school out of state saving on the plane ticket was way worth it! Do you think going to the dinner has any realy impact?? would really appreciate any advice/suggestions
The presocial thing really has no impact. Make sure you're well rested though...I had my BCM interview on Fri and my UTHSCSA interview today, and I'm supertired...being energized really makes the difference.So i just found out that I'll be interviewing at UTMB on the 5th and then UTSW on the 6th....any advice as to how to make this less stressful?

So I met LesPaul today and he gave me a hard time for posting so much on SDN..
and here I am posting while waiting for my interview time..
I really am addicted.
Does anyone think I have a shot at Baylor? I'm 33R, 3.87 GPA. I'm really worried now.
Does anyone have any success stories which consist of the following components: getting into Baylor with MCAT 33 or below, GPA 3.87 or below, nothing extraordinary about application except maybe almost two years of research and a publication? (I didn't play a large role in the publication but I was on it.)
I'm really wishing, hoping, praying for a Baylor interview. While I'm fantasizing, I wish you were on the Baylor admissions committee.
But thanks for taking pity on me and saying I have a chance. Of course, if you have a higher MCAT score, it's easy to pity and be very nice to people with lower scores. At least you have a heart. Now hopefully the Baylor admissions committee will have one too for me.
All you people with great MCAT scores, go to schools higher ranked than Baylor. Don't settle for Baylor. Give us poor folk a chance. 🙂
I guess you're a fluke. You must be a hidden genius that they somehow became aware of. If you truly don't have the numbers or the EC's, tHey probably somehow figured out that you're a future Nobel prize winner and that's why you got an interview. But hey, at least you got that much coveted Baylor interview. THat's what matters. We Baylor interview-less folk are really, really sad right now. 🙁
I've been complete with LORs and everything since probably mid-August. It's just killing me that someone I know who was completed a few weeks after I was has already received an interview invitation b/c of his 35 MCAT (I have a 33). I really wanted to be accepted into Baylor before December break so I could enjoy my xmas break. Thanks for holding out luck for me. Please pray for me if you are religious, or wish/hope for me if you are not, or send some good karma my way if you can. I really appreciate it! And I'm going to send the good karma/prayers/wishes/hopes to you as well! THanks! But meanwhile I'm going to go and cry.🙁
