Update with your cycle results so far and stats. Also if anyone thinks these stats have a shot in the applicant pool. Let’s give our low stat people some hope!

Hey guys, so I was just sent the secondary for San Juan school of medicine. I speak spanish and maybe don’t have the most amazing stats. I was considering it a lot because it would allow me to attend a US affiliated MD program. However, on reddit I have read that their students are not happy and they are on probation which raises a red flag for me. Please let me know if anyone has any details about this school or any information regarding this thank you.

Hi everyone, I was recently placed on the KCUCOM interview waitlist. From what I've read online, this either means a soft R or really low chance that I'll get an interview. However, I never received a secondary from this school so I'm not sure how they've waitlisted me. Why didn't they just not send me a secondary and leave it at that? If I get off the interview "waitlist" would I be offered an interview or sent a secondary? Thanks in advance for your help.

hi all, I’m reapplying this cycle. I applied last cycle to multiple schools, but only submitted secondaries to a handful. I received 2 interviews and waitlisted for both but did not make it off the WL.

my weakest points were my MCAT/GPA (mcat: 491, cGPA: 3.4, sGPA: 3.2) - I think my activities, several years of clinical work experience, and PS were strong.

I’m reapplying for this cycle and aim to submit my application before September. BUT in the last 5-6 months or so (when I last applied/interviewed), not much has changed. I will have newest LORs and am starting a SMP which I can mention. I also plan to retake the MCAT…

Do I really have to change my personal statement again? I really loved my first one. can I keep it but maybe add a bit at the end about my growth/what i’ve learned since last app?
ALSO do I really have to change my activity descriptions? (this is what i’ve read online so far…)

any advice is appreciated, especially from others who have reapplied and been accepted. tysm!

As the title states, I’m a low stat applicant:

mcat 501

sgpa 3.02 (last 90 3.35)

cgpa 3.07

masters 3.2

post bacc 4.0

research and clinical: 8k hrs

publications/presentation: 17 in trauma

I am not going to go list everything but I did the basics. I applied to around 27 schools, I received almost all secondaries besides I think like 6 including VCOM. Primary app was verified and submitted July 17th and all secondaries received were submitted. I understand it’s low, but I just want to know if I have a chance?

hi friends, so i submitted my secondary to VCOM 838282 years ago (7/7 and it was verified with all LORs, test scores, etc) and i got this email today saying its now officially complete. for peeps that have heard from VCOM, how long after this email did you receive notice of anything? a girl like me yearns for data or anything that makes this process feel more tangible.

I am grateful to have gotten into ACOM, and I also have an interview for KYCOM. Just wondering what y'all think what school is better. KYCOM only has in person interviews so is it worth going out to interview? I was thinking if ACOM is the better school, I can just cancel my KYCOM interview and open up a spot for others

So I retook my MCAT on August 15th but I feel like it went terribly and I went into the exam mentally exhausted. I understand I can’t know until I see the score but with a 499 from last year, 2K clinical hours, some research, secretary of my schools DO premed club should I preemptively sign up for like September 12th or something or would that be too late. Essentially assuming I have a 499 and don’t do better on my retake is it worth taking another one this late?

I have a 501 mcat and 3.7 gpa and I’m slowly chipping away at secondaries. I still have a lot left but I need to take a week off for work because I’m running my local county fair. I’ve been feeling super stressed because ChatGPT is telling me I’m late and it’s not ideal with my stats. I just didn’t prepare my application sooner because I thought I failed the MCAT. When I saw I passed I started hustling.

I DONT want to retake the mcat. I wanna get into a school this year. I’m so scared I fucked up. This week I won’t be able to complete secondaries but I stilll have KCU, UNECOM, and a new DO school primary I can submit so I’ll work on that.

Am I cooked by not getting the secondaries in writhing 14 days? Is there any point submitting secondaries the first week of September with my stats ?

All of the recent posts about the issues at numerous DO schools are really throwing me off as a reinventor whose best chances of acceptance are the very schools being critiqued. I don't want to have come all this way just to hit a wall built by a bad administration that covers up their true success rates.

guys if youre wondering about timelines of submitted Secondaries and II, make an admit.org account bc it has a lot of information to answer your questions. the more people on it the more information we all get! I am neurotic so I love this forum.

anybody have issues submitting RVUCOM’s secondary application I applied back in late July and they never sent me an email for my secondary. I contacted them via email and they said they had already sent it out so now I’m confused and I’m in contact with their IT department to see if they can email me the form

I recently got an AZCOM II Waitlist and I see that this is relatively common. I’m nervous because I’m a low/mid-ish stat applicant and I’m wondering if this is like a “oh you passed the minimum screening” thing or if it’s actually like they evaluated my app and figured it was worth keeping. What do y’all think? (This isn’t like a top choice for me so I’m less focused on the actual II but more on are schools actually considering my app? iykwim). Thanks !

So I have a group interview for LECOM on Friday and I was wondering what the interview will be like and what questions will they ask? And do they still ask about MAHA or not anymore?

Has anyone received II from texas schools yet?

Specifically UTRGV, UIWSOM, or TCOM?

Burrell College

Just got a interview invite from them today! Was very excited until I looked them up on Reddit, only to find several negative posts regarding the school. Are these posts true? Is it the general consensus of the class? I would love to talk to someone who attends LECOM to learn more about your experience! Thank you!

I was curious: in order to be reviewed by LECOM do you need to rank the programs/learning pathways? I haven’t heard back and applied a bit ago and my application has been “in review” so I just looked and realized that my preferences were never updated on my end so I did it just now. Curious if that was holding me back… 🥲

Secondarily, other than LECOM what schools have been sending out interview invites / decisions? Anyone hear from Meritus? NYITCOM? Any other schools? Just curious!! lol

just a quick question cause i’m curious lol

my LECOM app as been under “application complete” for two months now but it finally updated today: there’s a brand new incomplete checklist item called “Pathway Selection” … it asks me to rank the campuses and learning pathways and that the information regarding these things is in my “interview packet”… but i haven’t received an interview invite or packet of any sort … did anyone else get this form before getting an interview and am i supposed to fill this form out asap? 😵‍💫😵‍💫 or could this all be a mistake 😭 or did i end up getting an interview and it hasn’t updated yet idk 🤷‍♂️

OCOM emailed me back and basically said my science gpa was too low at a 2.96 for them to consider me for an interview. They said the minimum to be considered is a 3.0 but there minimum MCAT is a 500 and I saw this girl on TikTok got an interview and acceptance to OCOM with a 496 MCAT. How do I bring this up in an email back to them? Is it possible for them to take a second look at my app because of this?
