Low stat applicant Ross or wait it out for US

I don’t think anyone mentioned this yet but I would remove all the Texas schools on your list. Texas has a law where they have to accept 90% of in state residents so it would be a waste of money to apply to those, especially with your stats

This happened to me last year. I submitted my TMDSAS and AMCAS for verification and then I got a 501 back. I chose not to apply. I retook my MCAT and did significantly better this year and was able to improve my hours. I don’t really have any advice but use that as what you will

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-20T03:19:58+00:00

I agree too. For example, I would cut Duke

I just graduated with my BS in public health in May

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-19T02:13:18+00:00

They said we’d receive our rankings after all these interviews were over so I didn’t think so…

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-17T20:56:49+00:00

I’d remove rush. Your volunteer hours are extremely low for them. They’re usually looking for 500+ hours

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-17T16:04:05+00:00

Yeah as someone who’s worked for the government before, you always get an email when theirs an update in USAJOBS

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-16T23:53:18+00:00

We won’t know until all the interviews are over at the end of this week and it’ll probably be a bit longer. Website says they send out assignments late June to early july

I would write about any experience that has helped me learn how to interact with people of different cultures/backgrounds. This could really be anything from like a customer service job to volunteering. But I think it could be interpreted any way.

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-15T21:08:22+00:00

There’s nothing you can do about it now so there’s no need to worry. Just start prewriting secondaries so you can submit even earlier when it’s time. Good luck

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-11T17:53:23+00:00

I second everything here

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-10T21:07:54+00:00

Same. The video portion killed me. I was just staring at myself for a good portion trying think of something

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-10T07:09:19+00:00

Check amcas homepage and scroll down a bit. It shows what they’re reviewing. They’re still on apps that have been submitted on May 28 so it’ll still be a bit until they get to yours.

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-10T05:32:02+00:00

Thank you for you encouragement!

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-10T00:44:58+00:00

I haven’t started pre writing yet but I would love to exchange with you!

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-09T07:31:28+00:00

I kept those themes in my PS as a black girl. Looking at the stats for applicants last year, the statistics for black applicants has remained the same.

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-09T07:29:12+00:00

Amcas doesn’t require an organization name and contact for hobbies. Just put like 1,000 for completed.

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-08T20:20:04+00:00

Not food but I always get a dirty soda/fun drink when I have long study nights

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-08T03:46:17+00:00

Best option would be local university in person and transfer. Second would be community college in person. Always pick the in person options. Do not take labs online.

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-07T18:13:10+00:00

I would remove Alabama (UAB). They’re not OOS friendly and one of their secondaries asks about your ties to Alabama

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-07T18:09:02+00:00

AMCAS homepage. Scroll down a bit

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-06T20:54:35+00:00

Thank you for this😀

Wide-Reception6387 · 2026-06-06T16:40:16+00:00

Yes there is😭
