Just received a waitlist email

Good luck! I hope it goes well for you 🙂 Are there usually a lot of people that get in from the waitlists?

 

[sheepster05]

Thank you!! To my knowledge there’s typically not a lot of movement on the waitlist, but we should all be proud for making it this far 🙂

Congrats to the incoming class !!!!!😀Anyone writing the MCAT this August?

I’m writing it end of August !

Does anyone know if our MCAT score is taken into consideration for admission? I’m debating retaking it but I’m not sure how much it would improve my application

According to the manual, as long as you meet the cutoff, your score is not ranked further. Personally I'd rather die than retake the MCAT so if it isn't 100% going to benefit you, I wouldn't.

Haha yeah I really don’t want to take it again! I’ll just have to pray they don’t raise the cutoff

Even if they do, we were told that the MCAT requirement will be removed after a couple of years, so I dunno if I would retake. Not worth the time, stress, and money imho.

That’s true! Thanks for the advice everyone[emoji4]

I agree, as long as you got over the 495, I wouldn't bother unless they say specifically that they are raising the cutoff. Once you meet the 495, the interviewers are blind to your score, so even if you got a perfect score, they would never know!! Don't worry, I knew a few people last year that got in off the waitlist, so it's definitely possible!

I feel a lot better about not retaking it now! But yeah I’ll still hold out some hope for the waitlist 🙂 Thanks so much
