Where did you get accepted/ Interviewed with Average Stats

You applied fairly late with a high GPA/low MCAT. Did this get brought up in interviews at all? I'm worried that I will be in this boat, if my MCAT doesn't turn out great. If I score 27+ I will have (relatively) no worries.

Also, I see a lot of people getting accepted to ACOM very late in the season. Are fewer people applying to this school because of the high tuition? Safe school to apply to later in the season?

I was expecting my late application to get brought up more than it actually did. I was only asked about it at CUSOM (was basically told my interview was for a waitlist spot only). I knew my chances were a bit of a stretch but I applied very selectively to schools (based on average stats, geographical preferences, etc). I did feel very comfortable and relaxed at my interviews, which I think really helped in terms of overcoming my low MCAT score (which was discussed at length in every, single interview).

Here's what I gathered from ACOM at the interview:

Being an AL resident probably helped in getting an interview late in the process. At the interview they said they had "100+ deposits received" but wouldn't give a specific number to how many seats were left. I could be wrong, but I gathered that they were probably about 10-15 spots left and they were beginning to waitlist nearly everyone until interviews completed and then start blazing down the waitlist. I haven't seen an accepted post in the ACOM discussion thread in quite some time -- lots and lots of waitlist responses though.

My biggest piece of advice and the one thing I wish I had done, was apply early! I was super fortunate to get an acceptance with my stats and when I applied, but applying sooner may help with some of those stresses!

 

[Drrrrrr. Celty]

Applying early probably is about the same as having an extra point on the mcat.

Applying early probably is about the same as having an extra point on the mcat.

Agreed. I remember reading somewhere on here that applying early (june or july) means add 1 point to ur LizzyM score-might have been on the UD thread

[touchpause13]

LizzyM score 62. (3.4 cGPA, 3.7sGPA, 28Q)

Applied to 6 DO schools in January, complete late January. IL resident, non-URM, non-trad.

Accepted: KCOM, AZCOM
Waitlisted: MUCOM
Interviews scheduled: SOMA, LECOM
Also applied: CCOM

MD letter only. Hope this helps!

This makes me feel less butthurt about not getting in at Marian, damn they got reallllly competitive

I'm surprised that you only got one of those MD schools to accept you. I'd think there'd be a greater ratio. But yah, what does SNAFU mean?

 

[DocEspana]

I can't do physics. Got two C-'s.

And snafu is military lingo for "situation normal all fudged up". Basically when something seems to be going all smooth and then suddenly is epicly screwed up. I had 1 year at a undergraduate before I transferred to my primary undergraduate. I requested that they send my transcripts to the AAMC and AACOMAS. They sent 2 copies to the AAMC and charged me for both while sending none to AACOMAS. It took me over 2 months to figure out what happened that held up my DO apps, and when I did they refused to send the documents to the correct place despite taking my money and mailing it incorrectly to the wrong place. It became a protracted argument over small amount of money, but as long as I was getting MD interviews I wasn't going to pay this place on principle to send out my transcript when they were the ones who messed up. At the time I was not feeling so needy for DO interviews.

the fact of the matter is, with New York Medical Schools, if you have a significant flaw in your application they just won't look at you. It is the most applicants of any state, and has the most medical students at it. There was no shortage of people to replace me with good mcats and mediocre GPA's who got the mediocre GPA by being a consistent B+ student rather than an A- student with two semesters of absolute physics epic fail.

If you can't do physics however did you do well on the mcat lol. But yes, I see so the low physic grades screwed you over. Did you consider sending in a letter of intent telling them that if you got accepted you'd retake them?

 

[DocEspana]

I can't believe two grades would make make or break somebody

absolutely. At both University of Vermont and Stony Brook I was told flat out in my interview that I would not be accepted solely because of those 2 grades. I actually have a very funny story where I told University Vermont's interview or that I would make a fantastic physician as long as I didn't do radiology and I was never told a patient was jumping out of window and I had to calculate when they would hit the ground for the trauma team to meet them.

UNMC accepted me only under the condition that I retake both physics 1 and physics 2 over the summer and get at least a C in both classes. literally they wanted 0.33 GPA better in two classes.

I have absolutely no ability to do calculus. I was never taught it at any point my life. my college only offered calculus based physics, and completing it was a requirement for my degree, and my school did not allow you to complete core requirements at community colleges. So I had to take the calculus based physics class, even though the mcat is almost entirely algebra and trigonometry based physics

This sounds an awful lot like me. I'm a terrible mathematician, don't really know why but that's just how it is.

Physics and to a lesser extent, general chemistry, nearly did me in. I was golden everywhere else. I also had an unbalanced MCAT as a result with 11's and 12's on verbal and bio respectively, but only 7 on Physical Sciences.

Yeah, they flat out told us on my interview day that there were only about 16 seats left (mid-February). It got really competitive, really fast. Long story short, apply early.

Actually, California and Texas have more applicants (5326 and 3733 respectively).

Admittedly, Texas takes a higher percentage of IS applicants than NY (36.6% vs 30.3%), but I would submit that CA applicants (with only a 15.8% IS acceptance) has the largest number of applicants with the lowest chance of IS matriculation.

WV is a niiiice school with some really solid associated residencies and hospitals.

You're confusing applicants *from* a state and applicants *to* a state. NY schools have the most applicants applying to them by a huge margin. It also has the most enrolled medical students (due to having 14 medical schools). What you are referencing is NY has the 3rd or 4th applicants FROM the state.

 

[DocEspana]

84,564 applications were submitted to NY medical schools last year. That is without counting 3(!) of them as both Touro and NYCOM (well over 6,000 apps there I would assume) aren't on the AAMC numbers, and Sophie Davis medical school is an aamc school that doesn't use the amcas, so its applicants can't be tracked.

It breaks down to 6,504 per school tracked by AMCAS.

Compare to 52,243 for California. Thats 5,804 per school. And California does have the second most apps per school, and its still a thousand less applicants per school than the average NY school.

The total number applicants to each state are published annually by the AAMC Those totals include both IS and OOS. You are correct in observing that there are far more schools and 1st year positions in NY, but there are more applicants to CA schools compared to NY (5326 vs 3098).

With all due respect to your clinical accomplishments, you are so spectacularly wrong in this statistical conversation.

[DocEspana]

Ahh! You are counting applications, not applicants. Now I see the reason for the discrepancy.

Applications divided number of schools equals a good lowball estimate of number of unique individuals who have applied? You are stating the in state applicants to New York, as far as I can tell from a quick gander at the aamcas charts. That was never really the stat we were debating.

I want to see if people with DO letters have better outcomes than those who do not.

From what I have seen the number of applications per applicant appears to vary dramatically from region to region. I have not seen an reliable anaysis of this variability, however. It would be interesting to see if this has been done.

He applied to SMPs and I know he got at least one previously cancelled interview back (decision after that interview idk). He's doing a good job of staying under the radar. Good choice if you ask me lol

Did you retake it? I'm sure you know about the replacement policy but you're worried about an explanation since it was late in your career.

I think that gradGPA of 4.0 will pretty much nullify that grade.

How do schools view unofficial postbacc? I understand how it will boost your gpa via retake. I took 28 credits last year at a 4.0, but will that be something they look at, or just at my overall cgpa/sgpa?
