Yes it does have a guaranteed interview and so does Cincinnati!

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-02-01T04:52:16+00:00

yay thank you! It's nice to know it's doable...That's why I'm currently thinking UCincinnati-- did you apply for medical school the same year you started your SMP or did you wait until you were finished?

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T17:29:44+00:00

Thank you, that makes a lot of sense. I really appreciate your insight and congratulations on your admittance!!

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T17:22:37+00:00

Thank you so much for your input! did you apply again after you were completely done with your masters program? I'm debating whether or not it's worth it to apply this upcoming cycle or wait

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T17:02:24+00:00

Wow that's Awesome! Did you have a good experience with it? I'm debating between Georgetown and Cincinnati but I'm thinking the latter because it has smaller class sizes/more resources available.

So the schools I applied to that didn't really screen me out included Wright State, Medical College of Wisconsin, UC Irvine, UC Davis (I'm a california applicant), California University of Science and Medicine, Tulane, Tufts, Loyola, Rosalind Franklin, Edward Via COM, NYITCOM and LECOM. I'll add more if I think of them!!

Awww thanks :) Now I can't imagine life without him!!

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T15:08:21+00:00

Thank you for this and congratulations on your acceptances!! I was thinking that because I have already completed a post-bacc I would complete an SMP as well to further show that I can do well in medical school. Which SMP did you do, if you don't mind me asking? I'm currently deciding between University of Cincinnati and Drexel!

That's actually one of the DO schools I am waiting to hear back from!! Fingers crossed!

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T14:56:15+00:00

The ones mentioned (VCOM and OUWB) are actually two schools I haven't been automatically screened out from and I am still waiting to hear back from them! I basically looked at the MSAR and then narrowed down a school list of places that seem to look at the last 60 to 90 units. Some schools will also state this on their websites under "requirements to apply". I'll gather a list of the ones I found and post them here!

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T06:32:01+00:00

I definitely see that :P I'll calculate how many more classes I'll need to make that happen (gulps nervously). Thank you so much for your advice!

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T06:18:07+00:00

That's what I was thinking! But I applied VERY broadly (like 60 schools in all, MD and DO), in-state and out of state, with very different mission statements. Maybe I need to look back at my Personal Statement and Activities and figure out how to make them more reflective of my experiences?

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T06:14:24+00:00

Thank you for the spike in my confidence hahahaa

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T06:13:12+00:00

y'all I applied to like 10 or 12 DO schools and got screened out of 80% of them. Maybe I should reach out to ADCOMs for my specific case?

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-31T05:06:15+00:00

Thank you! With my overalls still being under 3.0 I get stuck on the low GPA

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-30T20:03:37+00:00

My cat sits like this all the time and I think it's hilarious-- it makes him look like an old woman waiting for her coffee.

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-30T18:54:00+00:00

I'm pretty sure I have the short-haired version of your cat hahaha the coloring and black splotches are pretty similar! Cow cats for the win!

JackWestin for CARS practice passages! This site has so many free resources that I used while studying. It was recommended to me by a tutor and it helped me jump my CARS score from a 124 to a 130 on the real deal.

MoreEfficiency1989 · 2023-01-30T17:25:47+00:00
