So for anyone who's wondering about how fast things were for me specifically, I just wanted to not only correct some things but also clarify a couple things as well. My application was complete on 3/16* not 3/18. I started my app maybe a week prior (I got info from somewhere on their site I think that there is priority review the sooner you apply so, I took note of that). I did a few back and forth emails up until then just to make sure I had all my materials because it was my first time using Interfolio for letters of rec and also to make sure I was using the right email/school address to send in my transcripts. By 3/14 I was sure I was all set. I emailed them 3/16* just to confirm that I had gotten all my materials in because I thought maybe I would get a confirmation email saying my app was complete. They then responded to me just a couple hours afterwards saying not only was my application complete, but the committee had already reviewed it the day prior and offered me a spot; I would be receiving my official acceptance with documentation to sign off on no later than 3/20. I did end up getting the official acceptance but it was 2 days later than what they had told me.
I did not apply with an MCAT score. I have taken the MCAT already but (using better wisdom with test prep) I plan on re-taking it in just a couple of weeks. Im non trad, a few years out of undergrad. Sub 3.5 gpa with strong upward trend. Did a few hundred hours of research during undergrad with a pub. 2500+ hours of medical scribing. Few hundred hours of volunteering. T.A. for a full year of Orgo and a full year of Physics. Good story. URM. Really wanted to move out west (I'm from NY) so I thought this would be best of both worlds as I'm trying to go to med school out there (hopefully I can utilize the MBS to MD pathway they offer). I applied to med school this cycle but Im pretty sure my MCAT score (more than anything) and my below average GPA shot me in the foot 😬.
Sorry for all the info 😅. Just trying to help others if there are any confusion. Also, maybe I can give some expectations to outcomes and turnarounds for people in the thread this year and for others who might be reading through in years to come. SDN can be a really great help for people applying to programs like these, med school, PA school etc., just like it has been for me.
