Update schools and essentially asking for interviews

[Lonebush]

Hey all,

I was fortunate enough to have multiple acceptances at both DO and MD schools. I wanted to send out an email as sort of a last-ditch effort to see if I can get an interview at a program that is higher up on my list. I wanted to include updates such as recent publications and my coursework.

My question is if I should mention in the email that I'm holding onto multiple acceptances? And if so, how could I phrase it so that I'm sending the message "Hey if you interview me and decide to accept me, I will forgo all my acceptances to come here?" without sounding arrogant.

They will probably say "have fun at the other school!" You will only be making their job easier. Are you sure they are still interviewing? It is very late in the cycle.

Just go to whatever MD school you got into. Be done with it.

cut your losses and be grateful for your acceptances.

hmmmm okay, thanks for all the input all!

I would just go for it.

Quick way to get a rejection, unless you are a 100% superstar. You're asking to cut to the head of the line.

Does it matter that OP presumably holds an acceptance to a more competitive program?

It would matter if he was waitlisted at the program he is interested in.

That might move the needle
