Is NYU strict on 200 shadow hours requirement ?

Interview #5
ATSU-MOSDOH

Pretty late in the cycle and I've already made a deposit elsewhere. Will decline so another lucky person can have the opportunity. Still can't believe I landed 5 interviews this time around.

Interview #1!!!!
School: UTHSCSA
Notification date: 1/10
Interview date: 1/30
Method of notification: email
TMDSAS mail-out date: submitted on 9/23, rec letters received 9/29, last transcript received 10/5 (so all extremely late)
Application received date/s: 10/5
GPA (bcpm, overall): 2.96, 3.1
DAT (AA/TS/PAT/Reading/any section below a 17): 20/19/22/19/none

I'm freaking ecstatic. Non-URM (white as wonder bread). To all you low GPAers.... there is hope.
Did you apply to any other schools?
 
Pathetic. Go rain on someone else's parade. I know multiple people in addition to cyclohexane who deserve multiple acceptances and now you're going to downplay their accomplishments? Cool man

Agreed but don't play innocent when you're the one who comes on random threads and starts bullying and busting balls all the time @Alpha Centauri. @DOC YANKEM is wrong here for his comment but I don't think it's your place to call him out. @cyclohexane101, congrats on the acceptance. It's not too late in the cycle to be receiving any, and it is not anyone's place to tell you that it is too late.

So after almost a whole year (Was June really so long ago)? I can give my last and final update. Applied to 8 schools, interviewed at 4 (Ohio, Michigan, UNLV, Utah). Of the interviewed at schools, I was rejected by Michigan and UNLV/Utah both waitlisted me. Ohio initially waitlisted me but I was accepted about 10 days ago!

So, I'll be attending Ohio and I'm super excited to move my wife and I out there! Should be fun. And terrifying.

Anyone know what the story is with Columbia? April first deadline just passed. Any idea when they might start handing out some more acceptances? I interviewed in January. Been waiting ever since.

Hi everyone! Congrats to all those who are accepted already! Right now I have a tough decision to make between Touro and Roseman... I'm really torn between choosing one of the two. I'm from California and I know I want to specialize. My concerns are the school reputation, cost, location, distance from family,... any advice/ideas are appreciated!

I would say Roseman! Everything you listed seemed to fit Roseman more than Touro.

Yes! Only I think Touro is much cheaper tuition-wise! I am leaning towards Roseman too! :)
Yep! And I believe CoL and expenses to visit family will make up for that

I know that students have the possibility of getting accepted even a week before school starts, but when is the best chance of getting accepted off of the waitlist? When May comes around is it safe to say our chances diminished significantly?

I would say your best chances to get accepted are before May. I would call the schools that are you waitlisted at and try and find out what number you are on the waitlist, so you can have a better idea of whether or not you should consider reapplying. That being said, my dad got 3 acceptances from some med schools he applied to back in the day, 2 days before classes started so you never know what can happen...

Do many students ask what number they are /do schools tend to give that information? =o
