<p>who applied?
didn't Dr. Chichowicz say that she was gonna get in touch with us in early january about who's app has been forwarded to Temple med?... any1 get any responses?</p>
<p>WHOA! i had no idea anyone else applied to west chester!!! yea, i'm the kid who didn't get the info for the interview days, so i had a private interview/orientation this past monday. btw, u interviewed you? what questions did u get asked?</p>
<p>ok, u should know that it's affiliated with drexel med.....
moving on, she told me she will have the list of the applicants she nominates to drexel COM towards the end of this week..... there were 17 applicants to the prog in total. there is no restriction as to how many she can nominate. however, drexel will only invite 12 for interview (i think it's 12)...then 5 of us get in......she told me that she's really impressed with all 17; u know how drexel com basically requires medical experience (as should any prog! lol), and there are 2 of those 17 who have good numbers (i.e. sat and gpa) but NO medical experience........but i think that she just might nominate the other 15 of us (she was saying that she really wanted to nominate those other two as well, so it will be interesting)...</p>
<p>so yea, hang tight for a couple more days i guess.</p>
<p>*who interviewed you?</p>
<p>also, i assume ur from pa. if so, where at? i'm from york. i assume being from pa is a hook since wcu is a state school. also, wat are ur stats? mine are on the stats thread that is pretty recent...</p>
<p>if ur from pa, where else in pa did u apply?</p>
<p>haha loll... yea... drexel med not temple .. loll</p>
<p>umm.. well, there were 2 different fridays in december that we could have interviewed... basically we just talked about the program... and then each of us had a half hour interview with someone... a couple ppl had it w/ dr. chichowicz, a couple with Dr. Frost [including me], a couple with dr. fish, and a couple of other faculty members did some interviews...</p>
<p>my interview with dr. frost started off with... "So tell me about yourself"... and we just had a convo ... it wasn't hard... neither was i expecting it to be</p>
<p>she basically said the same thing... about how drexel com interviews 12 and picks a max of 5... blah blah..</p>
<p>um yea... im from bristol, pa [northeast philly]</p>
<p>i applied to psu, drexel, lehigh, villanova, west chester, temple, widener ... these r the PA one's</p>
<p>rough stats
--sat 740m 690v [im actually having these hand scored rite now... cuz im POSITIVE that the scanner didnt pick up a few of my answers... its a long story... but i'll prolly end up with 780 math 710 verbal... will find out for sure next friday]
--sat 2's... 720chem 730writing 740mathiic
--3.75 unweighted at a prep skool [holy ghost prep] with 100% college acceptance/matriculation rate and average of 4.1 on all ap exams in the skool [which i think helps me cuz our skool is very good].. we have a no rank policy tho
--wat else?... pa gov skool, volunteer EMT, captain of forensics [debate] team that has been recognized as one of the top 5 teams in the country three of the past five years... various awards, degrees, trophies, etc. finaled at harvard tourney last year.... president of community service corps... i have shadowed at like 10 different places including nairobi, kenya... also vol. at hospital... bunch of other stuff... basically.. i <em>should</em> get to most interviews... question is... how many of those can i nail.. anyways... if u wanna talk.. im me.. bazookajoe112</p>
<p>haha yo, i'm impressed....u forgot one pa prog, tho--ursinus college....haha, everything else is the same as me!</p>
<p>yea my dad was like apply to ursinus, muhlenberg, scranton, washingtonndjefferson, and duqeusne AS WELL... i told him to take a hike</p>
<p>i applied to 19 programs in all... friggin ridiculous... i just wanna get into boston u. or george washington nd i will be happy... miami is my #1 but lets be realistic....</p>
<p>haha i applied to 17 (muhlenberg too)......haha i totally understand why u did it playa. yea, gw is a top pick as well--acceptance to psu, lehigh, and gw, and i'll run around my neighborhood screaming, i know it.....u know, i've seen psu ranked higher than miami (no. 3 as opposed to no. 15), but that was in a program book....i don't know the specifics about miami--did not apply thither. </p>
<p>i'm disappointed i missed the little speeches by two indian guys (lol!) in the wcu program....dr. cichowicz said it was good....</p>
<p>i'm actually from dallastown--u might know some of the forensics peeps from the school....</p>
<p>yea those 2 guys in tha program were funny... one of them was actually the younger brother of my instructor at gov skool... it was weird... i was like... u look familiar... was ur brother a counselor at gov skool at pitt last summer? nd he was like "yea he was, oh ****!"... it was funny</p>
<p>i like psu but 6 years and no summers is not my style at all... like theres a good chance that <em>if</em> (nd thats a big if) i enter that program.. i will take the 7 year route instead.... miami is ridiculous to get into cuz 97% of their kids a couple years back were florida residents... they r partly state funded nd take fl kids over out-of-staters so its impossible...</p>
<p>yea ive heard of dallastown</p>
<p>hahahaha that's great. i actually just emailed the sugir guy. see what i missed lol. yea, big if here as well, but i hope to take the 7 year route too at psu. would be shweet. u did gov school for healthcare? i did agriculture....i'm kindof abashed in admitting it, but i worked as medical asst. during summer after junior year, and ag was the only science-related one available to post-sophomores.....it was good anyways... yo, both those guys were indian too tho! wild. (i seem to be thinking that ur indian too--i am as well--i wonder how many of the 17 are indian....hahahaha, funny stuff).</p>
<p>yea lol.. my last name is patel...so yea... out of like the 9 or 10 kids that interviewed with me at wc bak in december... like 7/8 were indians as well... but i dont think it hurts us cuz med skools r so *****in used to seeing a million indian kids anyway.... at my widener "medical scholars" day bak in nov/dec... out of the 5 kids in the program that took the time to talk to us... 4 were indian.... ahhhhh i cant wait to walk into these interview days nd see india in front of me!</p>
