Summary of Application Experience
517 MCAT actually. Submitted all secondaries within 2 weeks or so, and all my interview invites were between Mid-August and October. Fairly low CARS (126) but it didn't hold me back!
I was so fortunate to get all the interviews I got, I think my EC's helped me out on that front. It was a tiring experience to attend ~15 interviews, but it was nice to explore these schools!
Summary of Experience:
Got an II but due to the sheer number of II I had already attended, and after getting into NW, I decided I probably would not attend anyway. However the school seems amazing!
Summary of Experience:
This was my first interview of the season, so I'm not surprised I was rejected. Fortunate to have been able to visit such an amazing school, though.
Summary of Experience:
Loved everything about the school. People were super nice, curriculum is great (and clinicals are P/F!), plenty of research opportunities. Nashville seems fun too, but I think I'd be happier in a bigger city and being closer to home. The class seemed to consist of mostly older students, and I'd prefer a younger cohort like myself.
Summary of Experience:
Accepted a few weeks after interview! I think because because I did very well on the interviews despite some being hard/stressful.
I really loved the school--people were amazing, curriculum seems nice, research opportunities plentiful, beautiful facilities!
Summary of Experience:
Clinical experience at this school is unparalleled to that of other schools. Their new curriculum is also very nice. However, not sure how well I would mesh with other students there.
Summary of Experience:
Really loved the area and the school, and glad to be accepted. They send out decisions the Friday after you interview, which is super nice. Not sure how I feel about some clinical rotations being in other parts of Virginia, and not sure if I went to be in another college town for for more years...
Summary of Experience:
Was not a huge fan of my interview day and did not like that the preclinical curriculum was not P/F. However, students seemed to be happy and I think I would be happy here! Plenty of research opportunities too, which is appealing. However, not sure how I feel about being in a small town.
