Summary of Application Experience
Submitted primary app in July and was Verified by AMCAS by August. I basically kept my schools to ones in Illinois because that is where I am instate and I knew with my poor MCAT score that I did not have much of a chance elsewhere. The whole process was really stressful and annoying to say the least. It just dragged on and on with schools not giving you any answers. I mainly made this profile so that I could give hope to candidates with low MCAT scores. I did not know if a 26 MCAT would allow me to get in- but I did get two interviews and thus far one acceptance :)
Feel free to comment on here or to message me with any questions that you have about my application or how the process went, etc.

Waitlisted: No
Accepted: No
Rejected: 12/30/2009
Summary of Experience:
They rejected me pre-secondary. I guess I don\'t have enough Central Illinois in me. Funny seeing as my sister went to SIU and I totally would have gone there.
Summary of Experience:
Showed that I was rejected online a LONG time before they let me know either by email or a sent letter. After having paid $75 for a secondary I don\'t know how hard it for them to send a rejection letter (after all we applicants really care about what is happening with out applications!).
Summary of Experience:
\'Small pooled\' in august or September (can\'t remember exactly anymore- but it was rather early in the cycle) but then heard nothing else. Officially rejected me via email late late late in the cycle!
Summary of Experience:
Best interview i ever had but the competition is really high and with my stats i don\'t know if they would ever take me. But i loved their school- research and curriculum is really nice!
Was put on \"continued\" status after the interview and then put on the waitlist which I really did not see coming. I don\'t think that I will ever be extended an invitation for acceptance here but it was nothing but a pleasure every time I interacted with the faculty, staff, and students at Pritzker. The students in this class are a lucky bunch!
Summary of Experience:
Really loved my interview here. They were originally my top school based on location and curriculum, etc, so i was really happy to get in!
