Members do not see this ad.

you're solid at wayne... don't want to give you anymore tips since you might take my spot when we're applying this year 😀 try mcw and case western, you have a pretty solid app

Thank you for the comments. Is MCW the medical college of Wisconsin?

 

[Robizzle]

bless you. i didn't know people like you actually existed on this site. thank you.

This is such a ridiculous thread. Anyone with a 3.9 asking about chances is simply looking for a stroke of the ego. Your numbers are good enough for interview. No one here can predict whether or not you'll get in.

I thought this thread would be about people with a 3.1 and a 28 MCAT or people legitimately asking if they should bother applying to the Ivys with a <3.7. Instead it's a bunch of >3.5's and 40 MCATs looking for validation.

I don't anticipate getting anywhere near a 40 on the MCATs (I would be stoked with a 30, I felt like that test rocked my world), thats where my fear came in. I've read many, many solid resume's on this site of people who have not be accepted to various medical schools (some of which I plan on applying to) and so it concerned me. I apologize if you thought my worry was not sincere...This would not be the first time someone thought I was overly paranoid 🙂

It just seems like a pointless worry because who's going to say you have no shot with a 3.9 and unknown MCAT scores? It isn't like we can say "you know, you would have made it except for that B in freshman ceramics that ruined your 4.0. If you have a 3.9 and a decent MCAT, then it's something else that's keeping you out of med school and no one here can tell you what that is because we're not privy to your interview style, personal statement, or LOR's. And the 40 MCAT was the person after you who had a 3.5 and 40 MCAT. Med school admission is a crapshoot anyway. The people with legitimate concerns are those who have under a 3.3 and/or under a 28/29. Or the ones who want to go to the Ivys, but anyone with stats higher than that asking about non-ivy schools isn't going to get an answer here.

i may be one of the people with 3.9, but i was not looking for an ego boost. i am not expecting a 40 on the mcat. i am hoping for even a 30. my question was more related to my ECs. i play basketball for my college, so i do not have a lot of time for other things such as volunteering. my big question is, do adcoms understand the time constraint with playing a sport in college? i know it looks good, but can it negate the fact that i have limited volunteer and clinical experience and no research?

i'd have to say no... you don't need to volunteer for any more than a couple hours a week. I don't care how busy your schedule is, medically related volunteering/work is more or less a MUST HAVE to get in to medical school... it may seem like just a hoop to jump through, but they want to make sure that you know what being a doctor REALLY looks like

 

[spospo]

what if i have a very limited amount? ~50 hrs in a pediatrics clinic ~20hr with a blood bank ~30hrs non med related. I have experienced it first hand (i even got to do exams in the clinic while the doc talked to the parents) but i just haven't done it a lot. it has definetly been quality time, just very very little of it.

[durfen]

Disclaimer: I am not looking for an ego boost, just honest advice. "stfu and go away" is fine, haha. I will try to be relatively brief

I'm a computer science major (finish next year), Cali resident.
GPA: ~3.5 (3.2 premed)
MCAT: >30 in practice tests (except first one).
Research: 4 years dry research (medical imaging), multiple pubs/conferences/patents etc.
LORs: Most LORs from research. One clinical, one humanities, none from other coursework.
Clinical: Some shadowing experience (~40 hrs) will be getting more (OR, clinic, rounds....helped a bit)

I'm guessing you guys know where this is leading to:
MSTP UCSF, Stanford. Chances of interview? Interview tips?

I'm good in that I can't act like a dick. Heh.

Just for what it is worth, this is in response to those above who seem bitter about the people with great GPAs and decent MCAT scores asking if they have a shot. For 2006 admission, I applied to the Univ. of Florida and SUNY at Stonybrook. I have a 3.989 cumulative, MCAT=32, and clinical experience (and i am a florida resident). I wasn't even granted an interview at either school. And for those of you who think there must be something wrong with my app., 3 years ago I applied to the Univ. of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine and received an interview (but decided I don't want to go the vet route), and the Univ. of Florida vet school is more difficult to get into than their med school. Go figure. I tried to get reasoning from both schools as to why no interview or how i could strengthen my app. I tried several attempts at UF med, then took it to the UF ombudsman (who was completely unprofessional in his demeanor), and wrote letters to senators, representatives, and the governor. I never got an answer from anyone.

You wrote a letter to the governor complaining about not getting into med school?

 

[nsxnorcal]

I have an overall GPA 3.56, non-science 3.80, science 3.39. Science GPA is bad because I took two classes at a Community College my Senior Year of high school and I slacked off. Without those two classes it would be 3.60. Along with that I've done research since January. I also went to Iraq twice, one time under the REd Crescent Society and the other time through another charity group. I worked with the Universities there too through a foundation I created. My MCAT is 31Q, Verbal-11, Bio-10, Phys-10.
I wanted to know my chances at a UC (I'm a cali resident), and if I could get into tulance, tufts, boston univ, georgetown, and george washington? Thanks.

First, I'm not bitter. I just think it's pointless to come here to ask if you have a chance with a GPA and/or MCAT that high because no one here is going to tell you you don't. Your numbers are obviously good enough to get in so what the hell are you looking at us for? Apply and see what they think of you. Now if you have a 3.2 and want to go to Harvard, yeah, people will tell you not to waste the money, but no one is going to discourage a 3.9. No one has the answers for those people. Second, you didn't seriously write to politicians to complain, did you? I don't know what they didn't like about your app, but obviously there was something they were bothered by.

Yeah but nobody is looking for yes/no answers. A percentage would be nice, even random and unscientific, perhaps some knowledge about what's important to a school etc.

You have a good chance about getting into a UC (UCI, UCD, UCSD etc.), especially with your life experience. UCSF, even money, really depends on your LORs and statement. Hope that was helpful.
I'm not sure about the other colleges, don't know what they look for.

I think you definitely have a shot at state schools and Florida has many of them. Isn't USF's cut-off at 3.0? If so you should be good. Try FSU also. If you don't get in it might be because your app won't be in early due to the August MCAT but if UCF and FIU get their funding, you could apply early in the 2007 cycle and probably get in for their first class in 2008. The one thing I would do is some outstanding EC's if you have to apply again next cycle. Get involved in something in the community not medical related. A non profit maybe? Kind of expand your horizons. Be a big brother or big sister and mentor a child, become a junior high tutor, that kind of thing. Good luck!

It's not really his ego, it's just that the schools did not help him out at all i.e not only was he not granted an interview, he was shunned in general. That is assuming he's a he.

Any advice on my post up there pretty please?

 

[durfen]

what is this?

MIPS Assembly Language. Low-level Reduced Instruction Set language that used to be used with desktop MIPS processors, but MIPS has been killed in the desktop market by Intel/AMD, but they're doing really well in the embedded market (PDAs, cellphones etc.). AMD recently toyed with it for their embedded processors, but I think that division has been sold elsewhere. So still relevant language.

I think MIPS stands for Multi-Instruction Processing System.

Anyway just techie speak. A fellow CS major (or somebody who knows assembly) can decipher it. They have three days to show up before I post it. That said, it's pretty obvious what it means even without knowing the language.

 

[durfen]

Question for all:
Are Ivy League GPAs artificially reduced before consideration, or has grade inflation been pretty much fixed? I mean my previous class had a mean of B-, and undergrads were competing with grad students and people with industry experience.

 

[Haemulon]

Help! I don't know how good my chances are at getting into med school (MD or DO) or where I should apply....Thanks for any advice you may have for me!

Your numbers and experiences look good to me. My app is very similar except my undergrad GPA is lower (3.54), but I have a MS to make up for it (GPA 3.88). Best of luck with the MCAT results. I'm awaiting them as well.

being an URM helps, and even without that you'd still be a fairly solid candidate for NJ state schools... I wouldn't retake the MCAT, and you have enough low tier back-up schools on there... maybe add a couple more mid-tiers or reach schools, but if these are the schools you want, you should be fine

Well, although I'm also awaiting my MCAT scores, I thought I'd see what you guys think. Hopefully I'm a decent candidate for the schools I'm applying to. Ideally, I would like to get in to Denver because my girlfriend of 5 years, who is pre-vet, is trying to go to colorado state.

[frenchie0889]

I'm not 100% sure if this post is appropriate for the thread but I couldn't find anywhere else where it may go. Anyway, my situation is that in the upcoming academic year I will be a senior in high school. Due to my average grades (Maintained a C+ average so far) and wanting to save money on tuition, I've decided to take the route of 1/2-years of junior college to get my core out of the way. But the thing is, within the core are the preresquisites for med-school and I've heard that taking prereqs at a junior college are looked down on and could hinder my chances of being accepted to a good medical school but don't know any way to get in contact with anyone who I could talk to about this. Is there a way, after transfering out of the junior college, to take the premed rereq there instead of at the junior college? I've thought this over and decided that it really doesn't matter to me what or how long it takes, I've made it a life goal to become a doctor but I just wanted to know my chances and if I had any hope or perhaps any advice on my situation. Again, apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Um, unless you have a stellar MCAT/EC's/research etc you probably won't have much luck with those numbers judging from both schools averages for MD only... Best of luck tho, hopefully there is something else exceptional about you.

well i posted earlier with no reply: but here goes again,
Yeah I have about 4 years research with multiple pubs/conferences/patents. I'm a CS major, taking an extra year to finish this. Strong LORs from research advisors. MCAT score will be >30, hopefully >36. I also have clinical, specifically OR (scrub in + help), clinic, rounds, recommendation from here too.

Basically only weakness is the lower GPA (~3.2 BCPM. ~3.6 overall and i'm telling myself that the av. GPA is just an average) and the consequent lack of recommendations from premed/CS classes (got one from a humanities course).

[Rahl22]

I'm new here, so if I'm committing some unwritten sin, please forgive my newbie soul.

I feel like I am a fairly strong candidate, with an Achille's heel.

I'm a 28yo white male.

I have a PhD in biomedical physics (radiation therapy)
GPA: 3.87
I've been on three publications (excluding my dissertation).

I haven't taken the MCAT yet, but I've taken several sample tests with an average score of 38 (14P, 12B, 12V) and a low standard deviation -- let's just assume I'll get something similar when I actually take it.

I have three years of experience volunteering at a hospice for terminal patients, as well as the local humane society.

I have plenty of experience teaching and excellent communications skills. (No glaring grammar mistakes in the PS!)

The problem? I was an astrophysics undergrad and my GPA was 3.14. Not great. Really. But I had a different mindset then, and my recent academic work should (hopefully) demonstrate that -- not to mention the deficiency classes I've had to take in recent years (and did well in).

What do you think? Will they look past the 3.14 GPA to the graduate GPA and consider all the other factors? Should I be applying mostly to safer, state-supported schools?

I appreciate any advice!

 

[Rahl22]

bumparoo out of 2nd page obscurity

 

[bayloraggie06]

I saw your MDapps profile and it looks like you're only applying to 13 schools. You haven't gotten your mcat score back yet but your GPA is below average for matriculants nationally and also at many of your selected schools.

For example:
here are the average matriculant GPAs for your chosen schools:
School-Overall GPA-BCPM GPA
Baylor-3.85-3.84
GWU-3.62-3.55
GT-3.69-3.65
Indiana-3.75-3.7 (Not friendly to OOSers!)
Loma Linda-3.76-3.73
Texas A&M- 3.83-3.79
Texas Tech-3.57-3.51
U of Alabama-3.77-3.72 (not friendly to OOSers!)
Texas Galveston-3.78-3.73
Texas Houston-3.69-3.58
Texas San Antonio-3.54-3.46
Texas Southwester-3.82-3.82

So I guess what I am saying is, I think you need more back up schools with lower average GPAs. Also you may want to drop UAB and Indiana because they are very unlikely to accept an out of state applicant. For example UAB's class last year had 160 people and only 16 were out of state. Similarly Indiana's class size was 280 and only 37 were out of state.

It seems like you want to stay in Texas which is fine, but it would be worth your time to think about other states you wouldn't mind living and researching schools in those states with lower GPAs. Also it looks like you have a good bit of ECs and with a solid MCAT you could be pretty competitive plus you mention a 4.0 in your post bacc and a good upward trend so that is promising. I guess all I the advice I can offer is to think about adding some more reach schools and possibly dropping UAB/Indiana unless you have strong connections to either state or just love either school.

Hope that was helpful 🙂

I graduated a few years back with BBA degree, so when I decided to apply to medical school, I had to return to take all of the science prerequisites. Due to having more focus and a goal in mind, I've done much better as a post-bac than I did as a regular undergrad. It turns out my science GPA is going to out-shine my overall (science: 3.84, overall: 3.46). Will my science GPA help my chances at some of the more competitive schools, despite having a sub-par overall GPA?

Its definitely better than having the reverse, 3.84overall and 3.46 science.

where did you graduate?
If you graduated in the US, then yeah you have a great chance, pending the MCAT score. Even then something over 20 will get you a med school here, >30 will get you a good one, >36 will get you a great one, pending the personal statement which becomes important at top schools.

Welcome to the Official 2006-2007 "What Are My Chances" (WAMC) thread!

This is the place for you to ask all of your questions about your chances of success in this application cycle.

Of course, the short and easy answer to your question is that no one really knows for sure. But I know you want more, and so the thread is here for you.

Here's how this is going to work. A link to this thread will appear in EvoDevo's "Pre-Allo Sticky Link Goodness" on the main pre-allo page, so that you can always find it. If you post your WAMC question in this thread, you get good karma for your app. 😀 If you choose to post it elsewhere, it will be merged into this thread. Sorry, but whatever situation you feel makes you too unique to post in the WAMC really isn't that special.

On the flip side, people who like answering WAMC questions now have them all in one convenient place. Hurrah! And for people who don't like WAMC questions... the only thing more annoying that 20 WAMC threads on the front page is 20 posts whining about how WAMC threads are annoying. So you can joyfully stop complaining, because you never have to read a WAMC post again!

And so there was peace, hope, and understanding brought to SDN... at least in my pipe dream. 😀

you're a genius. 😀 😀
