Brief Profile:
I\'ve done a very random assortment of things. A significant amount of volunteer work in clinical settings. A lot of health-related work internationally. Extensive research in undergrad; biochemistry major. Irritated by my GPA (~3.5), yet hoping excellent LORs, unique ECs, and a decent MCAT score will get me in somewhere.
I\'m currently acquiring my MPH at an Ivy.

Summary of Application Experience
Submitted AMCAS 6/9/11, verified 6/24/11. - Applying VERY broadly. I decided to designate several \"reach\" schools. But, hoping admissions committees see me as an unique applicant, I\'m crossing my fingers that one of my \"reach\" schools finds me fascinating enough to at least invite me for an interview.
Summary of Experience:
Surprised. I had heard that essentially any OOSer without Indiana connections is typically rejected outright. I\'m curious to know what they saw. After the interview, i was disappointed. We didn\'t get to actually talk to many current students. It just seemed sloppy.
climadoc2016 took the old MCAT and scored a 34 which is in the 94th percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a 516 on the updated scale which is in the 94th percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted climadoc2016’s section scores as follows:
climadoc2016 scored a 12 on the Biological Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 130 on the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems.
climadoc2016 scored a 11 on the Physical Science section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 128 on the Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems.
climadoc2016 scored a 11 on the Verbal Reasoning section of the old MCAT which is approximately equal to a 129 on the Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills.
