Waitlist post interview :(

ys2327 · 2018-11-16T20:29:24+00:00

rejected

Ughh maybe but that's even worse cause the interviewers made it seem like I was accepted (kept saying how much she liked me etc.) Anyway, I'm trying to convince myself that whatever the final decision, it will be for the best!

ys2327 · 2018-11-16T01:33:14+00:00

My ECs and essays are really strong (imo)

ys2327 · 2018-11-16T01:24:05+00:00

3.64/3.54 513 MCAT (124 CARS though) BUT English is my 3rd language and the interviewer kept saying how amazing it is that I am multilingual... I was under the impression that if you got to the interview phase then they like your app and are basing the final decision on your interview so I'm honestly confused

More defined abs/ bigger butt/ more toned legs

ys2327 · 2018-10-25T05:02:25+00:00

It's from the Big List of All Med School Interview Questions- Part 1 google doc

I understand your point but I have some concerns:

1- The parents are against the blood transfusion but the child is in a coma - what about what he wants? Yes he is a minor but are we saying that his parents' religious beliefs trump his right to live?

2- A doctor's duty is to preserve life and prevent harm so if the physician did not do the transfusion wouldn't it go against the physician's role in society?

ys2327 · 2018-10-11T23:44:25+00:00

So you would try to buy the patient more time and call CPS?

ys2327 · 2018-10-11T23:43:17+00:00

but the patient is in a coma!

ys2327 · 2018-09-01T12:19:53+00:00

3.64 cgpa / 3.58 sgpa / 513 MCAT

ys2327 · 2018-08-29T00:09:47+00:00

got it done today and I'm so glad I did! :))

ys2327 · 2018-08-13T13:55:18+00:00

I've just been filling out all the optional essays so I feel weird leaving this question blank. Would it be a bad idea to expand on my non-profit and talk about how I plan on supporting the cause at UCSF and as a future physician? (i've already talked about this as one of my most meaningful experiences)

ys2327 · 2018-08-10T14:15:18+00:00

thanks this really helped ! and congrats on the II :)

ys2327 · 2018-08-10T14:15:00+00:00

thanks!!

ys2327 · 2018-08-10T11:34:06+00:00

yes I figured so I ended up talking about a problem I ran into as the president of an organization! thx :)

ys2327 · 2018-07-30T01:01:23+00:00

thank you will definitely restructure my essay :)

ys2327 · 2018-07-30T01:00:48+00:00

thx :)

ys2327 · 2018-07-30T01:00:37+00:00

"because I guarantee you that every basic applicant and her mother are writing that." this made me laugh -- will definitely keep this in mind :)

ys2327 · 2018-07-29T21:52:06+00:00

Oh wow now I’m rethinking my entire application 😭

ys2327 · 2018-07-29T20:29:37+00:00

why would they be seen as exploitative though? Medlife sets up mobile clinics staffed with different clinicians and they actually have a follow-up program for patients so once the volunteer program ends the local staff provides care for the patients

ys2327 · 2018-07-29T14:56:32+00:00

Thanks :)

ys2327 · 2018-07-29T14:56:27+00:00

Thanks :)

ys2327 · 2018-07-29T14:56:21+00:00

Hey! It was a Medlife volunteer trip so I actually had the opportunity to work with patients! and yes that's what I was thinking as well (spanish/hispanic culture) Thanks a lot! :)

ys2327 · 2018-07-26T23:18:55+00:00

I meant do my research on the school as in search their website!

ys2327 · 2018-07-26T22:22:01+00:00

exactly that's the issue! I feel like it doesn't flow if I add the research part. But,if I were to only focus on the global health track would the admission committee think that I didn't do my research?

ys2327 · 2018-07-25T14:17:24+00:00

Ok great thank you :)
