<p>Actually, I'm considering PLME as well. What do you mean "in..."? You think I'm good enough to be "in" the programs? That would be awesome, but it seems that the interview process is most crucial for admission. </p>
<p>Any other thoughts on my chances? Anything would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>the value of interviews differs greatly depending on the school. Programs such as Northwesterns assigns points to certain categories on the 50 points, only 10 points are for interviews when determining admission. You extra curriculars are also woth 10. Then again, programs such as Drexel's will consider only the interview when you are good enough to qualify for an interview.</p>
<p>Those are the only two i know, but at my interviews i always ask how the process works so hopefully I can keep you posted on how Brown's and Case Western's as well as a few others work.</p>
<p>The way I understand it, one must apply to Rice via early/interim decision to be considered for the Rice/Baylor program. Now I heard from someone that Rice requires you to commit to the school itself before you find out if you have been admitted into the medical program. Is this true? </p>
<p>Also, anyone know of people who are in Wash U's Univ. Scholars Prog? Seems to me that this is the most selective of all the programs.</p>
<p>..hahaha ok siva i'll explain it in the simplest terms for the readers who couldn't understand a post that was answering a pointless question (can i get in with these killer stats?): siva, i think you can gain admission to bs/md programs (at least get interviews--lol. happy mistaippa?). don't get too ****y tho, because there are a lot of ambitious people that you're competing with. and btw, that whole thing I was doing with that " character--yea, by using that, i was just indicating that i was restating your words....and my quotation marks within quotation marks--tricky, i know....</p>
<p>i found out just be asking the people in chage of programs. HPME also evalutes SAT scores, SAT II scores, class rank, Recomendations.... I didn't have the guts to ask the program director for the sheet so i don't remember what else</p>
<p>"The way I understand it, one must apply to Rice via early/interim decision to be considered for the Rice/Baylor program. Now I heard from someone that Rice requires you to commit to the school itself before you find out if you have been admitted into the medical program. Is this true?"</p>
<p>True - you must apply early or interim to rice to apply to rice/baylor
True - If accepted under ED you must commit to Rice whether or not accepted into Rice/Baylor
False - interim decision is binding (it is like early ACTION)</p>
<p>Just so you know, you cannot apply to rice/baylor until you are admitted to rice.</p>
