<p>Accelerated Medical Program Student Stats</p>

<p>This thread is primarily to help out those in future years. (started by Jabez)</p>

<p>Many different colleges have their own mini sites where they post stats of the various accepted, rejected, and waitlisted candidates on it. And I remember being an avid applicant and visiting the multiple links for colleges, scanning to see the stats of those who applied to their respective schools' programs; a task, I remember, nerve-racking and annoying. So, I'm creating this thread so that the many different CCers can compile their stats for programs. Although there are "IMPORTANT" Threads for the major programs--HPME, Psu, UIC, etc--there is no unified one for the smaller ones, besides their scattered decision ones. And so, please post your stats, ec, essay topic (generally, if you feel comfortable; just because I remember struggling to write the ideal "medical school" essay.), and other stats. If you do not feel comfortable using your current CC name, please make another one for confidentiality. Please. </p>

<h2>For future applicants, I hope this thread takes off and will be successful enough for you to actually use effectively. Good luck! </h2>

Valedictorian of my class was rejected from Yale and waitlisted at Harvard- she has higher GPA; about 4.6-4.7 weighted, 800 on Crit Rdg 790 on Math and 650 on Writing; also a star violinist but i don't think as many EC's as me; essays make a huge difference as they are looking for your voice; also she is shy and may not have interviewed as well. My interviewer said that I was a good fit for Yale since my desire to learn is the most important thing they are looking for.We talked about my academic plans.
My Harvard interviewer e-mailed me:
Congratulations! I was just informed you have been accepted into the Harvard Class of 2010. During our interview, I was extremely impressed with your unique personality, easy-going enthusiasm, and intellectual acumen, attributes I made sure would come across in my report. I hope, if you have not done so already, you decide to spend your next four years at Harvard. The Harvard experience exceeded all my expectations as, I'm sure, it will exceed all of yours. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Take care, be well, and congratulations once again.</p>
