medical school

Hey guys! I just made an appointment with an interviewer from RUSM on oct 10 and I'm so nervous! Can anyone please let me know what kind of questions they ask and what the acceptance rate is once you get an interview!? Thank you so much for your help!

Hello everyone. My question may need some clarification. I frequently find myself just forgetting information, being stuck on a page forever, sometimes passively reading, sometimes constantly quizzing myself and being stuck. I am in third year and this is killing my time. My ultimate question...

Are December/January interviews considered late? I’m asking b/c I haven’t heard back from 20 schools and I just received an II for December. Have you heard of people being outright accepted after a December/January interview? I guess it wouldn’t be ideal if the school is rolling. My next...

Bear with me, because I'm a lowly pre-med but I've had this question for a while now... So before medical school, you'll usually get a concentration of high stats apps at the "top" schools. Harvard, Hopkins, UCSF and so-on get their pick of the top percentiles; these students are usually the...

Are wedges appropriate for interviews? (Especially with a pencil skirt)

What is considered a “reach” school? Is it a reach if you are below their median stats? Top 20 schools? And how likely do people actually get accepted into their dream/reach schools? I would be happy with just 1 acceptance considering how competitive this is. I heard stories from my advisor...

Curious about timeline of medical schools reviewing apps right now. See poll. Doesn't matter if it's reject or II.

I've gotten the impression that one shouldn't be too stiff or cold during an interview, meaning keep it professionally casual. (Not making jokes every five minutes, but keeping it light-hearted). From feedback, I was told that interviewers are more interested in learning about me as a person...

Hi, I have graduated in 2015 and I am an IMG. This will be my first application. Since there are very severe political conflicts in my home country, my school refuses to provide me MSPE or Dean's letter.( I know this is stupid but this is what happens). I have contacted ECFMG and they told me...

Does UCF have a program where like you do a masters in medical science and you have a high chance of going to medical school?! Like one that connects? Because USF has something where it's like an MS masters in medical sciences and a great percentage of those people are guaranteed a spot at USF's...

My MCAT score is a 513 (129/130/129/125). I was expecting higher but I messed up on PsychSoc. I was scoring 128-130 on PS coming into the test, but I guess I was nervous or not focused enough on the actual MCAT. Anyway, do you guys think that the drop in the PS score will look really bad to med...

Hey Guys! Let me get to the point. Having a degree already and still having to submit my SAT/ACT. The question is, do I have to submit those tests? As well as my High School Transcript?? I know I should probably contact the school in regards to this. However I was hoping, that maybe someone has...

Last thread about this was 2 years ago, and amidst this nail-biting, neurotically-infused app season, I thought it'd be nice to get our minds off II's and whatnot. So, positive thoughts! What are you most looking forward to in medical school? A specific topic? A new city? New friends? For...
