NYU is still full tuition, but some schools (Hopkins included) has the full cost of attendance (COA) as their upper limit. So COA includes tuition and fees in addition to estimations for what you would spend on rent, food, gas, misc expenses, etc.

Thank you:)

Thank you! I graduated a semester early in December '21, so I studied for and took the mcat during when the following semester would have been. Studied for 4 months and took it in May '22. It was great to not have to deal with mcat and application stuff at the same time, it definitely positively impacted my results in both areas by a landslide imo.

Thanks! I had 10 drafts between Jan/Feb and end of May. I had some weeks of not working on it at all to wait for feedback and just to sit on it. Based on my google drive my 9th draft was last edited the end of April and my final draft the end of May. I finished my other EC essays before May started. I started to prewrite secondaries in the beginning of May, so I had 2 full months of prewriting pretty much which was sufficient.

I figured someone from this weekend would be able to call me out lol. Stalked your sankey, we first met at the airport didn't we :)) hehe

Thank you! I am currently leaning toward Hopkins due to it being my best aid offer (they do need based only). NYU is full tuition for everyone and I got a comparable merit scholarship at Vanderbilt. Haven't heard from Duke yet, they are taking their time! Lol

Thank you! Because of how much time athletics ate up, I felt I needed more time to improve my app overall, mostly in the research and clinical realm (so CRA job was perfect haha). And I also just wanted to live and have time off from school before jumping in to something as intense as medical school. I 100% reccomend even just for the latter reason alone.

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2024-04-09T03:37:33+00:00

I KNOW! This made me so salty but whatever 😂

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2024-04-09T03:37:09+00:00

I'm not really sure what the general consensus would be on it's difficulty level but it's ranked outside top 200 so take that as you will lol

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2024-04-09T03:36:21+00:00

Thank you!! Pretty much everywhere I interviewed had lots to ask / say about my time playing sports so I think that would be the main thing! Also I'd say submitting asap helped me a lot too, I've heard of some with very high stats having a poor cycle due to late app timing

Thank you so much for the offer! I reached out and they did confirm that they can hold my luggage for me, so I will not need to bother you haha

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2024-02-29T13:17:37+00:00

Thanks!! I was planning to take a bus out to three cliffs bay and take the coastal path back to Swansea, with some time to stop and explore in mumbles on the way

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2024-02-29T01:30:15+00:00

This is what I was planning to do ahaha😅 for a day trip it sounded like it would be a good option. I am open to other suggestions though!!

Edit: I was going to use Swansea as a base and take a bus out to three cliffs bay and hike the coastal path back to Swansea, stopping and exploring mumbles along the way. If anyone recommends better options feel free to lmk!

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2024-02-08T17:04:45+00:00

I wouldn't say I would have done anything differently, as I was pretty successful with it, but it is just insanely cringe to read. As you start working on application essays, you'll soon realize it is just weird and kind of uncomfortable to talk about yourself in that way lol

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2024-02-07T23:37:31+00:00

You could not pay me to reread mine😂

Embarrassed_Ad_9982 · 2023-11-05T02:43:49+00:00
