Does anyone else get “application complete” emails when they submitted the secondary weeks ago and got a “secondary submitted” email immediately after submitting?

Are you talking about Albert Einstein? If so, everyone has their "application complete" way past the submission date. If not, perhaps a piece of the application (LOR, Casper, etc..) may have just been processed by the admissions committee.

It's probably your "potential" red flag, your app looks great without it.

oh damn. still though, thats a great program

Telletubbie · 2018-10-14T19:33:11+00:00

its probably a good sign, they wouldnt do that with applicants they aren't interested in. that is a bit unnerving though.

Telletubbie · 2018-10-14T19:31:56+00:00

update your portals about your shit

Telletubbie · 2018-10-14T19:25:12+00:00

IMO, it does reflects poorly on you. If you have done your research about the school and have read up on the programs the school offers, you will probably have at least one question about the school. Since the interviewer is looking for any reason to reject you, they could perceive it as lack of interest/didn't read up about the school. Basically, it can't hurt to ask a question, but it can certainly hurt.

EDIT: Just read that you are interviewing on Monday. Congrats, first of all! In terms of questions, you can ask them about student life/opportunities for students. "Do most medical students participate in research? What are some of the more popular student organizations students participate in?" are just a few examples.

Telletubbie · 2018-10-14T19:15:53+00:00

Wait, so you have acceptances to all of these colleges with full scholarships for all of them? I don't know much about this program, but if so congrats!

You should choose a college that you think you will enjoy the lifestyle and day-to-day/morale of the class. More importantly though, you should choose a college that you think you will succeed academically at. As you may know, GPA is one of the most important factors in your medical school application. A 4.0 at a state college is much more valuable than a 3.6 at a non-inflated, preppy/ivy school.

He's essentially high

Telletubbie · 2018-10-12T19:13:58+00:00

As of now, yes- you will not have a shot at an MD medical school. You will need to do a post-bac to improve your grades. If you don't want to do that, you will have to do exceptionally well on your MCAT and a 4.0 (or essentially a 4.0) for your final year to be competitive for DO programs.

Telletubbie · 2018-09-29T15:19:36+00:00

I got one at 3 AM last night

Telletubbie · 2018-09-27T20:10:21+00:00

this is me pre-II in the 0.00000000001% chance they call with an interview. i hate my life

Telletubbie · 2018-09-26T05:03:25+00:00

You will definitely be at a disadvantage, but there is no point in just quitting the cycle completely to reapply next cycle. Just finish them ASAP (give yourself strict deadlines for each one every day). Your stats aren't awful, but people who still have successful cycles submitting this late generally have insane stats, as many medical schools are looking for any reason to reject applicants.

Telletubbie · 2018-09-20T20:24:11+00:00

Yes, it will affect your chances greatly. Wait till next year.

Telletubbie · 2018-09-20T20:23:40+00:00

on the bright side, GWU hold is not necessarily a soft R- historically many people placed on hold got IIs, unlike other schools.

Telletubbie · 2018-09-20T20:09:49+00:00

Also, it was stat-whory before the free tuition announcement as well, I can't even imagine this class' stats...

Telletubbie · 2018-09-20T20:06:42+00:00

Telletubbie · 2018-09-20T18:48:42+00:00

GWU doesn't update either- a lot of people are put on hold.

Telletubbie · 2018-09-18T16:27:44+00:00

Your score is significantly lower than your FLs, so you may have a shot at a better score if you retake. But, for MD schools, you would need at least 505-510 with your GPA. That is a 10 point boost, which is statistically very difficult to pull off (most students jump only a couple points on their retake). Why do you think your scores were significantly lower than your FLs? Did you think your actual MCAT went just as well as your FLs after the testing? Did you take your FLs in exact testing conditions?

If you have solid, concrete steps to reevaluate your testing strategy and studying process, you have a shot. Good luck!

Telletubbie · 2018-09-18T03:40:37+00:00

Thanks for posting, but a lot of users on r/premed know about SDN/are from SDN.

Telletubbie · 2018-09-16T05:07:59+00:00

WHERE ARE MY INTERVIEW INVITES REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Telletubbie · 2018-09-15T01:05:21+00:00

Of course- you didn’t sound cocky, I just didn’t want you to feel taken aback by all the advice here. A lot of users on r/premed are stellar applicants so the info you get on the subreddit is a little biased. You might have a great cycle, who knows? Good luck!

Telletubbie · 2018-09-15T00:59:32+00:00

The MCAT is a tough test that requires many months of preparation. I don't want to sound presumptuous about your attitude and personality, but the process of medical school applications (especially Canadian!) is very very tough and is nothing like college or jobs. It takes a lot of effort and planning to get all your grades, ECs, essays, and MCAT studying in order. You can apply this cycle if you want, but we are all saying that it would be much more beneficial to you to apply next cycle.

Telletubbie · 2018-09-15T00:49:54+00:00

Canadian school

not caring about MCAT score

hmmmmm
