II last week. Complete 7/21. 4.0/519 OOS
I used the MSAR, that was really helpful for getting information.Does anyone know where we can find more information about Baylor? The website seemed pretty generic in terms of information.
Website is terrible. Scoured everything for hours. Honestly, your best bet is talking to students directly if you can find a way to connect with HoustoniansDoes anyone know where we can find more information about Baylor? The website seemed pretty generic in terms of information.
Community click around and read some stories. There are some blogs too.Does anyone know where we can find more information about Baylor? The website seemed pretty generic in terms of information.
Hiya there, should we still assume that the upcoming interview dates are still as scheduled?BCM MS1 here. I'd be happy to answer questions!
I believe that to be an accurate assumption. We're continuing class on Tuesday and we got our email confirming if we can host for this next week.Hiya there, should we still assume that the upcoming interview dates are still as scheduled?
That will tell 'emif i dont get accepted, I'ma become an astronaut
if i dont get accepted, I'ma become an astronaut
(Assuming you mean baylorites=interviewees) Baylor was definitely my favorite interview. The interviewers were nice, asked standard questions, and were easy to talk to. The students were really helpful and willing to answer any questions, and the overall environment seemed very supportive and inspiring. It'll be tough for other schools to knock Baylor off the #1 spot on my list. Now I just gotta get accepted lolAny baylorites care to share their experience today?
Really? Thought 9/1 was just a few JAMPers.chill af although alot of interviewees (i guess cause they rescheduled 09/01?)
Really? Thought 9/1 was just a few JAMPers.
I think 9/1 interviews were rescheduled due to Hurricane Harveydunno tbh cause the after interview survey was missing 09/01 date
The 9/1 interview did still happenI think 9/1 interviews were rescheduled due to Hurricane Harvey
ok, thanks for the updateThe 9/1 interview did still happen
How did y'all send thank you notes.. If you did
Did you write it out in the body of the email..or attach like a PDF. Cos I sent one of my thank you notes directly to the interviewer as they gave me their email, but not sure how to reach the other.
Just received an II by email! Honestly shocked, I wasn't expecting to hear from Baylor. IS, LM ~72.
Edit: My GPA is 3.6, so there is hope to us lower GPA types!

Congrats on your II! What does are available?\

CongratulationsII earlier this afternoon! I am still in shock! LizzyM of 74
FYI, they seem to only interview on Fridays and at least for me, they assigned a date so I had no idea what other days they were interviewing. Post-interview they sent a survey which has a list of all their interview dates this season:Congrats on your II! What does are available?

(pardon the "home team cheering" for BCM!
a word of encouragement about timing of interviews vis-a-vis your prospects at BCM...
Our daughter had been complete a bit late back in 2012...she got her OOS interview for the very last date back then, toward the end of February. She then got accepted in early May off of BCM's WL. She immediately gave back her prior acceptance to home-state MCG, and called Emory and a couple of others to drop her name from their WL's. BCM also offered her a 50% merit scholarship...she would have readily accepted without the scholarship. (She had earlier respectfully declined an acceptance to Vermont/UVM, partly because it was so expensive to go there...even with a scholarship, it would have still been very expensive).
Looking back, it was her most important acceptance anywhere. She would go on to score 93rd percentile on both Steps 1 and 2. After she decided a tad late (after a late optional rotation) on Ortho [having passed on initial first choice derm (too monotonous), and passed on optho (too one-organ focused), plastics (too much vanity surgery), and ENT (real world practice is a lot of tonsils and ear tubes)], she landed many of the Ortho interviews she sought (several top 20 programs), even though Ortho has been the last bastion of male-dominated specialties (maybe just 10% females). She then got her first choice in the VERY SELECTIVE Ortho match. BCM was a grind to be sure, but the atmosphere was collegial and supportive...the great faculty really cares.
Some overview points here:
1) do not fear interviewing late at BCM vis-a-vis your chances of acceptance
2) they have scholarship $ available late
3) BCM is an EXCEPTIONAL cost value even relative to home state/in-state costs, and with or without a scholarship...it might be less expensive than your IS schools straight-up (w/o a scholarship)...ALL schools charge fees in addition to tuition, so don't let BCM's fees spook you
4) BCM can position you to smoke the Steps and track toward top residency interviews and placements
5) Be sure to focus on NET costs...some schools are quick to note how many get scholarships, but if the face tuition and fees are very high, you might pay quite a lot more net than to go to BCM (even OOS).
6) the PRM thing is a nice plus to help you adjust to medical school-- https://www.bcm.edu/education/schools/medical-school/student-affairs/class- of-2021/peer-resource-network
7) the 18-month pre-clinical period (which might have originated at BCM) has proven to work well...it gets you into the hospitals sooner seeing patients, which is what medicine is really all about.
8) Notwithstanding the recent rare flooding from the hurricane, and the usual sticky heat, as a practical matter Houston is a far better place than many locations to attend medical school. COL is moderate to low, and you can live a 15-minute bus ride away...just $1.20 a day for student fares. In your rare free/down time, there are excellent dining and cultural activities/sports.
To summarize, after establishing Texas residency (buy R.E. before you matriculate...or you could marry a Texas resident! , and net of the 50% scholarship, BCM was WELL LESS EXPENSIVE than going IS to MCG might have been. BCM boasts (rightfully) that they are the best private medical school value in America-- but they are being TOO MODEST! BCM is the best medical school value PERIOD, especially when you factor in your bang for the buck-- results (Step scores and residency matches) vis-a-vis net costs.
BCM has been near the top every year in average Step scores (# 1 various times)...and match lists look pretty darn strong. This follows BCM being ranked # 4 in Lizzy M scores for their acceptees (behind only Washington U., Hopkins, and Harvard) in a recent year aggregation assessment.
How long do applications take to be reviewed? I submitted back on 7/14 and have heard nothing. I am OOS[/QUOTE
Not sure if anyone will be able to answer that. Schools don't necessarily reveal much except that they constantly review and re-review apps. You submitted very early so that's a very good thing. Some ppl hear back a week after they submit and some ppl hear back months after. There's no set time period
