This cycle I have no interview invites but I applied late. Still I thought I get at least some interest. From Alaska, but Alaska has no med school. UW accepts 20 Alaskans each year but got rejected pre interview from them. UW seems to favor older applicants, lots ecs. Heard of another guy from Alaska with better stats than me that got rejected pre interview.
Graduated from Tulane University but got rejected pre interview from Tulane. Seems they like higher MCAT scores. Am a Cell/molecular major, math minor. Science and cummulative gpa is 3.7. Osteopath science gpa is 3.6 because they don't count math in the science gpa. (In my math classes I have mostly As.) my senior year though my gpa was 3.5 so some downward trend but took harder classes too, but ended up with a 3.7.
I am late becuse i had to retake a 31 MCAT because I got a 6 on verbal ( physics was 14 and bio 11). In September got 30. (Verbal 11; physics 10 ; bio 9). Am scheduled to take again in May and focusing on all 3 sections. 2nd MCAT focused a lot on verbal for obovios reasons.
Did shadowing, volunteering. Applied 20 md schools only this cycle. No research. Will apply DO and md next year. Am about to shadow a DO soon and will try to get a letter. Here are the schools I applied too this cycle:
Hawaii. Rejected
Oregon. Not do secondary because oos needs 32 MCAT
Albany. No word
Easter Virginia. No word
VCU. Email say like consider you further and scheduling interviews. Apparently have see if a spot opens up.
Drexel. Reject. Might look at you in the spring.
SUNY buffalo. No word.
SUNY upstat. Rejected
MCW. Small pool 10/17/12
New Jersey. No word. (Mistake to apply jersey schools since takes few oos)
Robert wood Johnson. No word
Univ Nebraska. Rejected
Boonshoft Wright. No word
Toledo. No word
Rush. No word
Temple. No word
Loyola Sritch. No word
George Washington. No word
Tulane. Rejected. No love from my school
UW. Rejected
Excuse the typos/short hand since typing on ipad. Some schools I shouldn't have applied too but overall now know being late hurt. Don't you think I should at least have a chance at DO next cycle? I think I should have a good shot but jeez all this work so far and a big fat zero.
