I am getting anxious waiting each day!!

Congratulations for those of you who received interview invitations! Do you mind sharing your GPA/OAT (TS and AA) and experience / extracurriculars for future students? Thank you and good luck on the interview!
Hi there,I'm a little confused on what exactly we need to know for the MMI portion. I've read to be familiar with current and upcoming events in optometry, laws, ethics, medicine, healthcare, but this is so broad and healthcare and insurance may soon exhibit a major change. I'm familiar with MMI from reading medical school descriptions, but Cal's may be much different. Maybe I'm overthinking it.
There is a decent website with practice MMI questions designed for pre-health professionals. To go along with this, a video covers sample answers to a select number of those questions.
Any insights?
Thank you!Hi there,
The purpose of the MMI is really to gauge how well you can think on your feet and make a decision. If you practice the med-school or similar MMI questions I think you'll get the right idea.
Best of luck next Saturday!
Hey all,
My friend really wants to go to this school for next cycle. However, he is a Canadian and last year they only accepted 4 internationals. He's taking the OAT this summer, he has a cgpa of 3.5. His EC's are decent with 2+ years of work experience. Assuming his OAT scores are great, will he have a good shot?
Sorry for hijacking the thread!
That's a good point. I'll be sure to tell him. Lastly, with the stats posted, do you think he has a decent shot at the school considering he gets above average on the OAT?Hi there,
When few people of a certain demographic are accepted, it tends to be more so due to the fact that less people from that demographic apply than anything having to do with that demographic. So in the case of Canadian/international students, not that many apply to begin with, so not that many are accepted.
What's on his application will matter more than where he's from. Make sense?
Just got the call about 45 minutes ago that I've been accepted!!!!!
Just got a call 5 mins ago!! Everyone don't freak out yet if you haven't gotten a call. They told me they're still calling.
CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE!!!Now I gotta decide between SUNY and UCB. Anyone going through similar decisions? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Go where you feel you have the best fit! You're going to spend 4 years of your life at your school, and you want it to be an environment you'll be happy in.congrats!! i'm having some trouble deciding between scco and ucb as well. right now I'm leaning towards UCB because it feels like a shame to say no to Berkeley. I mean, IT'S BERKELEY. Are you having the same thoughts?

I am in the same boat! I gave SCCO my deposit and started planning things and getting excited but now I'm like do I listen to my brain or my heart...
