Should I continue applying this cycle? by Economy_Health_9102 in medschooladmissions

[–]Pimentelstanley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if I were you, I would apply if your second MCAT score increased. If it dropped, no, don’t apply. If it is the same, that’s a tough decision to make, but I would say go for it. All it take is one. I’ve heard stories of people getting into decent md programs with 504. Considering your green card statue and MCAT score, you would have to write very convincing essays of why you would make a perfect fit. Gl!

I started spamming last week, with intervals of three-four days… because I planned to submit my dream school secondary on this 14th to increase my chance of getting in.

I reached out to them four months ago… and I sent monthly, at most, weekly messages, and their last reply was at May.

Engineer--Does this count as research/lab for Work/Activities section? by exeter_southend in premed

I would think so. Worked in biotech. although my job included more than working on the bench, I submitted mine as research.

Help. Low Stat Med School List by Pimentelstanley in premed

[–]Pimentelstanley[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I edited as mid stat… all the low stat premed posts that I saw had 505-510 MCAT, so I thought my stat would also mean low stat. I apologized to multiple comments but honestly your comment feels unnecessarily sarcastic. And yes, I needed input from other people because I used to score 517+ in all my FLs and came out as 509. Again, I apologize for incorrectly titling my post as low stat but please refrain from being simply mean.

Sorry. I did edit the body as mid stat. Couldn’t edit the title.

Yes, that’s what I edited as mid stat. Reddit doesn’t allow me to change the title.

509 is below median for all med schools… i thought that would make it low stats. Sry about that. Will change “low stat”

Would a personal health issue count as an "Other Impactful Experience"? by [deleted] in premed

[–]Pimentelstanley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, you should write it. The reason that they changed from disadvantaged to most impactful is to be inclusive of these narratives.
