@houstonmama âŠCONGRATS! I think any MD these days will tell you that a business degree with a focus on healthcare business aspects would be a fantastic thing!
Thatâs what she was thinking. She went the business route rather than biology since it would allow her to do so many things. She can still take all of the required classes for med school but worried what she was going to do with a biology degree besides teach if she changed her mind about med school. Still trying to figure it all out.

Two questions
- Is there a way to get feedback on a current review application, i.e. is there anything more that can be added to improve the chance of acceptance.
- How are review candidates ranked? Is there a formula/metric used. I know class rank and SAT score are 50 percent of the equation with everything else being the other 50 %. Guess I am looking for objective data on the essays, EC, etc.
My son is a review candidate and we are trying to get a feel on his chances. Top 12%,1340 SAT (New) all 3 essays, NHS, AP scholastic award(AP exam related). probably an average amount of volunteer time, club and high school soccer. 2 letters of recommendation.

Some of my friends have applied later than me but were review admits and already got it, and it a lot of cases I have better stats than them. Does this mean I am getting deferred? Was I skipped over or does it have something to do with my major?

@Burnsy115 I wouldnât stress out. It could have something to do with your major, but I honestly couldnât tell you with 100% certainty. I doubt you were skipped over. Youâll hear back in due time.
@TamekaLatt Thank you very much. Being a review candidate is awful. I would not mind getting Blinn but I really do not want PSA. I just hope they take into accound accomplishments, ECs, and volunteer hours.

@Thelma2 Do they release waves based on majors?
Waves do not seem to have rhyme or reason to them. Whole colleges (majors) are not released in a single wave. No major is finished with decisions until the last wave, which the past two years has been around the third Friday in Feb, with the exception of engineering. Decisions for that major will be complete sometime in Dec. In the last wave of decisions, there will still be full admits to CStat, and that is when the decisions for Blinn Team and PSA come out.
When are engineering honors decisions supposed to be released?
