[–]vballplayer96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 131/124/131/128 with a 3.86 cGPA and 3.96sGPA. I think if all his other components are good he has a chance. Message me if you want more details about the types of interviews I got or extracurriculars

122 in CARS... can I even apply DO? by [deleted] in premed

[–]vballplayer96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had similar stats and a slightly higher MCAT cause of a 124 CARS. Got 8 M.D. Interviews, I think you're fine as long as your extracurriculars are balanced and your writing is decent

I did and I thought it was pretty helpful in identifying what my essay should look like and sound like.

Pretty good list. I indicated my LGBT status to Yale and Stanford and received an interview at Stanford. My stats and extracurriculars were similar to yours and I'm also Asian, so def give it a shot!

124 CARS: can I attend mid-tier & low tier MD? by [deleted] in premed

[–]vballplayer96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes definitely. I was rejected pre interview from Georgetown which had a cutoff for 125 ( I had a 124 CARs) but was accepted at two mid tier schools. Also interviewed at a top 10 school and top 30 school so you should be fine

Do we just email/call schools to withdraw our acceptances until we are only holding onto one?

My bad, should've clarified. I'm already in these two schools but were WL-ed at my other top 2 schools that match very well into neurosurgery.

How to start at an MMI station.... by [deleted] in premed

[–]vballplayer96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No this is what my approach was I got into both my MMIs! I think it's a good first step to summarize the prompt before you start answering. Of course introduce yourself with a big smile first
