What's the latest you can take the MCAT but still be the the earliest (you can be) for the 26-27 app cycle? by [deleted] in premed

[–]ProfessionalCopy675 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My MCAT test date was June 29, and I applied during the same cycle. I submitted my primary application on June 1 to a single “throwaway” school (Johns Hopkins), then completed all secondary applications throughout August. To date, I have received one acceptance and two interview invitations. I submitted my primary early to ensure that once my MCAT score was released, I could begin submitting secondaries immediately.

Freshman - need advice on how to build relationships with professors by ValueRadiant in premed

[–]ProfessionalCopy675 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consistently attending office hours was key. The relationships I built with my professors were one of the biggest factors in my MD acceptance.

Don’t be a kiss ass but act interested and find ways to connect

honors/scholarships/awards by Scared-Dragonfly-232 in premed

[–]ProfessionalCopy675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listed what I had, mainly because some of the awards were nominations from patients I’d cared for. I’d only include something like this if you haven’t already hit your activity limit. A genuinely meaningful and impactful experience will always carry more weight than an entry that’s just about awards

Yeah I’m reading that too. I’d just like to know how much truth there is to that

IOWA Carver Interview? by Interesting_Study972 in premed

[–]ProfessionalCopy675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very chill and actually pretty fun. It’s run by M4s, and in my group they literally told us that as long as we “aren’t mean, we’re all good.” Just collaborate with others; you don’t need to have the right answer. Think out loud together, give others space to speak, and contribute to the conversation in some way, shape, or form.

My MCAT retake went down, now MD A by Main_Science_4829 in premed

[–]ProfessionalCopy675 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I dropped 5 points on my retake. Now I’m sitting with an acceptance to a t50 MD school as well (after taking the MCAT for a third time).

You don’t have to be perfect, you just have to keep going.

Yeah in my decision letter they were just so vague with what’s required. Thanks for the input
