    Still on a waitlist and waiting...blah

    Hey, After three years, two application cycles, four waitlists, a hell of a lot of stress I can finally say I will be a med student in the fall. I got the call last night, but I haven't been able to post since the switch. Good luck all and keep trying.

    My MCAT score : dont know where I went wrong!

    I came up three in VR and four in PS by simply practicing passages and memorizing more of the key formulas, you have to practice passages and questions over and over and knowing why you missed a question is the key to getting similar questions right on the actual MCAT. Not that many topics are...

    For those of you who call adcoms often!!!!

    I called six times yesterday, do you think that is bad? They sounded pissed at four, but I figured I could get two more calls in.

    Need your experience: will it look better to take 21/sem and do exceptionally?

    Most ad com interviewers volunteer to be put in that position and don't have time to scrutinized your application for hours. I honestly can say, as long as you get your degree on time at a good school, with exceptional grades and exceptional MCAT they could care less how many hours you took in a...

    applying without an MCAT

    They don't consider you until you have the score. I would wait unitl you get the scores back. I didn't even send in an app until November, but it depends on the school you apply to. MCAT is required for evaluation, otherwise it would be unfair.

    Question about notifying admissions....

    This is very common. It would be like a statement of interest, but if you say you'll go you have to go. I would definitely write the letter and tell them you will go and it is your top choice. I don't know if I would say you are accepted into another program. You could also ask Gower on...

    Do schools know which schools you're waitlisted on?

    It depends on the school. My two state schools communicate almost daily to find out whos going where. I would assume schools that share a common applicant pool would communicate some information to eachother.

    Do pre-meds *really* think about what they're getting into?

    If there is anything that gets on my nerves it is a dcotor who hates their job. I have spent three years trying to get into to medical school and only to listen to some of the doctors I work for complain about a job they went into without knowing what the expect, then got stuck doing it. You...

    My personal statement turned into one big blob

    I heard the same as the previous post. Mine was a blob as well last year. The schools did get paragraphs, but the personal statement is tiny print on the copy they get.

    UAB's a bust

    I heard they expect little or no more movement on their waitlists and they verified that most everyone accepted is coming. Of coarse, I can't verify this since I didn't hear it directly, but I hope this will help someone with their decisions. Hopefully, this is just talk. I emailed Dr. Smith...

    Low MCAT scores that got you in to D.O. Schools??

    GI-guy (what a joke), I have no idea what your talking about, all this thread is about is someone's chances with a low MCAT! I did great on the MCAT, made Presidents lists and Deans lists as an undergraduate, and forgive my lack of vanity, GI guy, for not listing my GPA. I will be attending...
