Doesn't seem like too many January interview acceptances were posted. Has anyone else that interviewed in January heard anything yet?

 

[KIPS]

Hey guys! Interviewed 12/3/15, accepted 2/5/16, OOS. I'm waiting on GW (waitlisted) but even then I'm not sure which I would prefer. Figured I'd make my way over here to interact with other accepted students since I don't think there's a Facebook group or anything yet.

 

[Mialt6]

Any OOS applicants hear anything recently?

Yes, I'm OOS. Interviewed in October, got waitlisted and received my acceptance letter last week.

I've been looking at apartments since it doesn't seem like Morehouse is going to offer but so much assistance...the housing page in that PDF they sent is just testimonials. Best I've seen so far is like $700/month with a roommate. My concern, however, from friends living in ATL is how often cars get broken into even in the apartment complex garages. Anyhoo, I too will be accepting roomie applications, preference goes to those who like to cook as much as I do so we don't starve!

Define cheap

 

[Pyruvate2020]

Define cheap

Cheap as in together paying no more 1200 a month
Or individually 600 a month?

Gotcha. Well you should be able to find some 2 bedroom apartments for 1200 in the atl area. 600 for a single bedroom might be a reach though.

Just to give another answer, I interviewed November, was wait listed, and accepted a few weeks ago. OOS. No updates sent.

 

[blackgirlmd]

When we sat in on the M1 lecture during my interview day, I noticed the students had Lenovo Laptops (Thinkpads I believe).

Was anyone that interviewed recently told when they should expect to hear back about a decision?

i hope daylight savings time helps make the time go by quicker. I just want to hit up the decision committee and be like "ya'll make a decision about my future yet?" ......

Have people recieved post-interview rejections/waitlist information?

 

[blackwarriorpoet1]

I feel ya......I interviewed way back in Dec and I haven't heard a squeak from these guys......The same amount of effort to send a person an acceptance letter is the same amount of effort to send a waitlist notification or a rejection....It's just frustrating to be left in the dark

Does anyone know if morehouse has mandatory lectures and if lectures are recorded?

Some lectures are manditory and all lectures are recorded

Congratulations on those who were accepted in state and OOS. For those who don't mind sharing...what were your stats (MCAT, GPA, extracurricular, etc.)? What is the ideal MCAT score for acceptance?

 

[Welp38]

Has anyone from the 2/12 interview day heard back from admissions?

Nope but they said it would take about a month right?... Which was Saturday... So now the clock ticks

 

[ugagrad1116]

Congratulations on those who were accepted in state and OOS. For those who don't mind sharing...what were your stats (MCAT, GPA, extracurricular, etc.)? What is the ideal MCAT score for acceptance?

I don't mind sharing. Interviewed 2/05. Accepted 2/26. IS reapplicant. Undergrad cumulative and science GPA 3.8, Master's GPA 4.0. MCAT taken three times: 26, 28, 512.

I don't know the ideal MCAT for acceptance at Morehouse, but it just goes to show you that you shouldn't lose hope if you have to retake the MCAT or reapply. Morehouse looks at everything when they decide on you, and they just want to see improvement and that you can handle medical school.

Edit: Just saw you wanted extracurriculars too. Did 2.5 years research. 2.5 years volunteering at a hospital. 2 week medical mission trip. 1 month medical study abroad. Shadowed 2 different doctors and a nurse. 4 different clubs at my undergrad college, held positions in 2. Week and a half trip to do Habitat with some people at my undergraduate college.

 

[MedSchool0310]

Well thank you for your response! Just wanted to see what the average stats were!

 

[ugagrad1116]

Well thank you for your response! Just wanted to see what the average stats were!

You're welcome! I hope it helps!

But I also hope that more people post their stats because every applicant is different, and medical schools don't just take one type of applicant.

Don't give up, and good luck!!

 

[MedSchool0310]

Anyone who interviewed on 2/10/16 hear anything yet?

 

[MedSchool0310]

Yes I would love others to post! And I wont give up. Im definitely going to be attending this fall with you. Ill let you know when i get my acceptance letter.

I asked the Dean of admissions during my interview day if lectures are recorded and she stated that many professors don't wish to be recorded. So, no lecture recordings :/ I also noticed that the professor was not wearing a mic during the lecture I sat in (which prompted me to ask in the first place).

Can any current students give us any insight in these regards?

I spoke with several current and they said lectures are recorded. The dean told my interview group the lectures were recorded. The class I say in on was being recorded.

On my interview day the lecture was recorded.

 

[Mialt6]

I know some of you were looking for a roommate and an affordable place to stay, and I am also in the same position. The school was nice to add a flyer on my packet, it's 12 min from school, nice neighborhood, 2 beds/2 and a half bathrooms, $1000/month with appliances, so we'll each pay $500/month. Please PM me if you're interested. Female preferably

 

[jux.ta.pose]

The student tour guide said they didn't have a school-wide recording system but that some of the students have started to record lectures and share them.

 

[raq_]

Is there a FB page for accepted students?

 

[neuroticpeach]

For some reason I thought we would hear back about wait list/rejections by today, am I wrong?
