@stdmedsch Well I know for a fact that Medical College of GA does take superscores, but idk about the others. Oh really? Wow ok I will look into that, thanks!
@bunnicula23 congrats! What day will you be there?
@svnya123 I picked the early February option. Do you know how many people are invited vs how many are offered admission? I want to know my chances.
@bunnicula23 Ahh I’ll be there next week. But I’m pretty sure once you get to the interview stage you have a 50% chance.
Anyone heard back from W&J/Temple program regarding forwarding to Temple?
On my way to BU right now. Anyone else interviewing on the 22nd?
@fifteenpapers we will be there on 4th. Will greatly appreciate insights based upon what you experience.
@stdmedsch I have not. I had my W&J interview recently.
Do you guys think that being Asian hurts your chances for the BS/MD program? Are they held to much higher standards or all 40-50 people being invited for interview at a typical college, have very similar profiles, scores and grades? I am seeing lot of people with high scores not even offered interviews.
REMS decisions about interviews will be released at the end of the month. I called and asked.
@fifteenpapers Good luck! I will be interviewing on the 26th.
@penkid, if you know some undergraduates who were applying for medical schools, the answer for your question is in there. Just do your best, hope the best and prepare the worst.
To the Asian question
A majority of bs md applicants are of indian chinese korean philipino etc descent
So are you being judged?
Yes!
They want to see if you do want to and will be a good doctor
Key is the interview and show you are a not a machine
Show why you
What your strength and weakness
Why accelerates program
Hi so I applied for NW HPME, Boston University’s Program, UMKC, Penn State, and Brown but I haven’t heard anything back at all with interviews. What are the status on these and should I call to follow up?
@PoetEnthusiast UMKC has scheduled interviews and I was told they are only for 1 week. So to put a closure you should follow up with them for sure.
@PoetEnthusiast - If you turned in your application to UMKC by the priority deadline of Oct 15th you should have heard back about the interview by now. However, if your application was submitted after Oct 15th you have until the end of this month to get a notification. They will email about an interview call, wait list or denial.
where is everyone…
