Thread for BSMD 2020-2021 Applicants (Part 1)

Thank you! Georgia.

Great! Thanks.

Congrats! Do you mind sharing stats
 I know I should not be asking stats as every kid is super competitive and there are lots of factors involved
 but if you dont mind sharing.

I heard that UAB is heavy in-state/ neighboring states preference.

Is BU done sending out interviews then or is it rolled out through the month?

Yes you are right, although they deny it all the time :slightly_smiling_face:

Nothing extraordinary when compared to rest of the kids on this thread.

GPA: 4.0(UW), 4.7 (W), 16 APs, school doesn’t give ranks
1540 SAT, 36 ACT, SAT Subject tests, Math &Bio, 800.
Good ECs, National Merit Semi-finalist
Research in Biomed lab on two different projects
Edited to add: Shadowing at a clinic, teen volunteer at two hospitals

Has BU sent out invites? Who has received them so far? I thought it was only UAB invites that went out today.

We didn’t get anything from BU either, I thought they come out end of the month?

I think @medman16 is the only one received BU till now.

were you notified by email?

Phone call, maybe they are doing it on a rolling basis. I am not sure though.

Pitt GAP second essay prompt seems to have changed after I submitted my application. Anyone else with this issue? I answered the question about ethical dilemma but now when I look back it says the prompt on my submitted application was about injustices

what day did you get the phone call?

Yea I called and everyone had the same issue

Early this week I forgot. Either monday or tuesday

2 days ago you posted that you had not heard from BU but now you are saying you heard from them on Monday or Tuesday? Seems a bit sus


The post “no word for me yet” was referring to NJMS interview

Yeah I really hope people don’t lie on here or anything. Makes it all the more stressful for no reason. But generally I still think it’s pretty early in the process and more schools will come out later. It’s especially difficult for OOS and ORM students.
