<p>did you get my message? lol</p>

<p>it was weird at my medstart interview because the dean was like “yea, i really like how you did your resume…not many other students did it the way you did” so hopefully thats a good sign :stuck_out_tongue: and then he was like yea, i don’t really have any questions for you because you answered everything i needed to know in your resume :?</p>

<p>not sure what that meant. but anyways, have you guys ever heard of anyone who seemed completely highly qualified and didn’t get into top 15?</p>

162

<p>^didn’t get your PM, but yeah, my interview was very short too…15-20min. long, probably closer to 15. </p>

<p>And, I think MedStart goes for the best candidates possible. There may be some people who are very qualified who don’t get in because of a bad essay/something that sticks out in a bad way/coming off as arrogant, etc. during interview or something of those sorts, but overall I think MedStart wants the best and they don’t mind going into the Waitlist in the event that people turn down MedStart. (every year 2-3 are taken off the waitlist)</p>

163

<p>Medstart1993 how did you arrange your resume?</p>

164

<p>I tried to be simple and straight forward in my resume. I did it bullet point/resume style. I did a lot of reflection on my health care experiences and the dean said he liked how I reflected so hopefully the med school panel will too! lol :/</p>

<p>And yea, I heard that one year 8 people were taken from the waitlist :O</p>

165

<p>How long was everybody’s resume?</p>

166

<p>How many people in top 30 have ACT score of 32 or above?</p>

167

<p>@ilovelost, my resume was 3 pages long.
@medstart1993, I wrote the SAT, but it would be equivalent to a 35, but I don’t know how much stats mean at this point.</p>

168

<p>Just called Mrs Galster, and was accepted into the program!</p>

<p>Anyone else hear back yet?</p>

169

<p>I am accepted!</p>

170

<p>Me too!!! :)</p>

171

<p>Got in! Are you all going there? Everyone ISS or OSS?</p>

172

<p>I didn’t make top 15, or get an e-mail at all, so I have no idea what’s next =(</p>

173

<p>I’m ISS. there’s a good chance of me going there. how do you know you’re not in top 15?</p>

174

<p>i didn’t make top 15 either… i didn’t get an email to call her, but my friend did. when do u think they’ll tell us who the alternates are?</p>

175

<p>I think she emailed the top 15 to call her…I imagine she wouldn’t wait more than a week or two to contact the alternates.
I’m ISS, and I’ll probably end up going unless I get into a really good OSS school</p>

176

<p>i heard last year that there were 13 alternates who were chosen. I dont know bout this year tho :/</p>

177

<p>what alternate #s are the other 15? feel free to pm</p>

178

<p>I’m 12 so i dont think im gonna make it lol</p>

179

<p>You never know… ALOT of people end up turning down this med program because of the lack of campus life, safety etc.</p>

180

<p>When do the alternates find out? I’m #2</p>
