could be sincerity of secondaries + seeming like you fit their community
I don't know specifics obviously. However, I do remember reading a post from the AO at top programs here (LizzyM I think) that some 525+ can be taken in just for the score (barring red flags or terrible gpa).Do they actually make distinctions for MCAT scores past 522? like is 526>524? Or are they most concerned about keeping their medians where they are?
+1Submitted 7/1 and still no response
If it’s helpful I got an II and I was a scout leader and after school teacher so leadership may be valid, but I wouldn’t say those were my best categories by any means.Yea, I've actually heard its leadership>research/pubs>service for most top schools. But it's tough to define what constitutes 'leadership' in their eyes; club officer won't cut it, eagle scout, maybe? Sports captain? Banking/consulting gap year?
Eagle scout and significant leadership role here. I was also thinking maybe it has to do with a social justice focus. I wrote a lot about social justice in my essays and I know this is a large part of their mission.If it’s helpful I got an II and I was a scout leader and after school teacher so leadership may be valid, but I wouldn’t say those were my best categories by any means.

What's a scout leader lmao? I'm an Eagle scout.If it’s helpful I got an II and I was a scout leader and after school teacher so leadership may be valid, but I wouldn’t say those were my best categories by any means.
I was hired by the Boy Scouts during the summer to recruit scouts and watch the scouts on trips and after school teaching events in a low - ses city . We went over everything from basic hygiene to explaining mortgage insurance .What's a scout leader lmao? I'm an Eagle scout.
I would say my app is super social justice focused and I got an R, so still seems like a mystery to me. (LM 83, WARS ~95, II from a top school so hopefully that means no red flags lol)I think that’s the nail on the head. My whole app was around social justice.
Same here, LM85 and while my app wasn’t super social justice focused, I definitely had multiple significant social justice aspects that are directly related to parts of Pritzker’s mission.I would say my app is super social justice focused and I got an R, so still seems like a mystery to me.

Oh, that's cool like a scouting TFA; community outreach, and developing youth definitely looks good. Did they give you a formal BSA rank? Assistant Scoutmaster?I was hired by the Boy Scouts during the summer to recruit scouts and watch the scouts on trips and after school teaching events in a low - ses city .

lol I can go more into depth if you want, but this is the standard explanation I give people.
My fiancé works for the scouts on the business end now and had the same position as me at the time, so she explained it to me sorta. Our official titles were “scout leader” and we never interacted with actual scout troups. We were mainly just contracted for “marketing” and summer activities. I was especially because I grew up in the same city as the potential scouts and went to a prestigious college, so the district executive that hired us used this as the narrative to show what happens to people who participate in scouting even though I never formally did ( my grandma was a scoutmaster but I never partaked).Oh, that's cool like a scouting TFA; community outreach, and developing youth definitely looks good.

I spoke to her again about it last night and you were indeed right ! We actually were scoutmasters... didn’t even realize it haha!Oh, that's cool like a scouting TFA; community outreach, and developing youth definitely looks good. Did they give you a formal BSA rank? Assistant Scoutmaster?
Hey! I just received a II this morning at 11:30 EST. My LM is 70.1, and I submitted my secondary on 7/20. Ditto to what's been said about the process not being as linear as we might expect it to be - rooting for your time to come!Any news for those who submitted their secondary 7/20 and after?
+1. Really excited about this one.Hey! I just received a II this morning at 11:30 EST. My LM is 70.1, and I submitted my secondary on 7/20. Ditto to what's been said about the process not being as linear as we might expect it to be - rooting for your time to come!

Hang in there friend, wishing you luck.First R of the cycle today, this one hurt
Hang in there!! When were you complete??First R of the cycle today, this one hurt
Would love to know the sameBesides Chicago and BU, are there any other schools that we know are sending out pre-II Rs?
I know some people (including myself) have received pre-II R's from Weill Cornell, but those might be specific to MSTPBesides Chicago and BU, are there any other schools that we know are sending out pre-II Rs?
July 13th!Hang in there!! When were you complete??
this aligns with my bias and makes me feel better so I will take it at face value and not look backNot sure how accurate this is, but someone I know who used to work with admissions at pritzker told me that the school randomizes the order of applications during review. Didn’t make sense to me but that’s what he said
At least they’re paying attention to you hahaWhen your linkedin gets a Uchicago Medicine viewer >>>>>.
Expecting that R soon now!
Wait do we get to pick?Random question. I was wondering if it's preferred to do interviews in the AM or PM slot? I was thinking maybe in the AM slot the interviewers might be fresher whereas in the afternoon PM slots they'll be more tired? If an adcom could answer, that would be great!
