Lol.
Again, YOU were the one who said that you didn't understand
I am not an ADCOM member, but you were the one who said that you were confused about the process. So in the future, maybe you shouldn't ask questions that you can look up for yourselfsadwinter said:
Of course!!! Would you prefer he, she, or they going forward?
I asked if anyone can help me because there may be another document I am unaware of (but still related to AMCAS) that contradicts me. I didnt appeal to you specifically. In fact, I specially asked for adcoms, and you are not one so...
Why not tag Goro, LizzyM, gonnif? I'm sure that they would be glad to help someone with an attitude like yours
Flattering joke. Nothing more!!
Wanting to see a letter before using it is totally legit. Just don't sign the waiver. You have a legal right to see the letters. Don't give it up, and just tell all of the notable schools that you are a non-trad and you need to see your letters.
You literaly insulted me when all I did was inform you that you posted the wrong document. I have absolutely no idea why you interpreted that as a personal attack.
Yo girlie nevermind
I asked for 3 professor letters and a PI letter in January and forgot about it; all 3 were profs I took classes with that year and last year, I asked right after classes ended for that semester. My commitee letter required an interview and 6 essays. Not sure if it was separate or what, but I count a total of 5. I was going to ask for a physician one, but multiple people told me it was worthless. I only had one PI/lab, so yeah for schools that required all of PIs I only had 1.
I could care less about minutae. I actually applied with many things SDNers including yourself would probably wince at.
<<took some risks with my profile presentation and essays and have a good x-factor>>
You can dm me if you want to talk about that. Take it all with a grain of salt though because I am probably considered urm. Not sure though.
Wouldn't that be a good URM factor?
URM gives a huge leg up.
My application was still far better than most admittees, to be fair, aside from a relatively 'low' MCAT score for some schools...515-20
Just curious, what do u think will happen with URM admissions if the upcoming Supreme Court cases reverses racial consideration in admissions?
Love how confident you are about your application. I didn’t think mine was that amazing even though I probably had more success than you with a far less favorable ethnicity. I guess all those schools didn’t spot your lack of humility.
Prob off topic and a terrible sequence of discussion (especially on here) if you'd ask me...best to leave that to..the supreme court
I mean I'm sure it simply was not, and my confidence is founded on results and what interviewers have told me
...if schools don't screen my MCAT score I would have doubt my ethnicity would have mattered in the long run. URM status just moved me up in the pile. If anything my application is based on the luck I had with my lab and PI. But we can agree to disagree. Don't really understand why you are taking it personally but lol w.e
Sorry, my goal isn't really to argue about the fairness of it or anything. Totally understand that angle always descends into a ****show on here. @srirachamayonnaise just seems to have pretty good insight into admissions practices, so my only goal was to see how med schools may react if the Supreme Court were to ban race conscious admissions. Absolutely not trying to talk about whether that is "good" or "fair" or any of that.
It’s quite some ego to say you think your app is FAR better than other admittees. I don’t take it personally at all because I don’t know you. But I just found your statement frankly quite disgusting. In other words, you think you are MORE deserving than your future classmates. Oh boy.I mean I'm sure it simply was not, and my confidence is founded on results and what interviewers have told me
Not sure about the impact. But SES can be used instead.
Yup, that's what I hoped. Strongly support SES conscious admissions.
You simply did take it personally, you even brought yourself up to explicitly say you "probably did better than me" despite not being URM, like what?
Like being a minority in this country just like you but not being treated fairly for over a century in this country. How do you like that? You can say you have a good app but far better than other admittees… I have no idea where you get that idea.
Lmao you are really something buddy I'll give you that
Not as something as you.
Bruh why would you comment that right after the warning lol
Negative LORs are RARE. I see one maybe once a year. Most LORs are pretty much the same, and so they all gel after awhile. Perhaps 5% are true letters of evaluation and make a great case for accepting someone.
Asking to see the LOR prevents the writer from being honest. OR, it puts the writer in a bad position to say "no", because then it telegraphs that the letter might not be 100% supportive. If one of my students asked to see a LOR, or failed to waive the write to see the letter, I'd tell them it might be best to ask someone else.
I have. My responses vary. If I feel I don't truly know the person (and some students can be ciphers even if I did know them!), I'd decline.
Are you saying you write negative LoRs for them, or you tell them I can't write you an LoR because...
Oh, I've never had to write a bad LOR for one of my med students! I should have clarified that I was talking about LORs for med school.
Yes.
uh... which of the two
