I received 3 interviews, I think a big part of my issue is that I had a really cookie cooter traditional application but my interview skills are frankly very luke warm:Where did you apply and did you receive any interviews?
I took them September 2022 and March 2023.When did you take your two MCATs?
Why do you want to do MD/PhD?
You also need to think hard about doing a straight Ph.D. You probably could get a stipend (income) rather than pay tuition if you were just MD. I understand the appeal of MD/PhD includes a stipend and tuition waiver, but this should not be the only reason.
With a lot more community service hours, your application would be stronger. But that said, why do you think Colorado and NYU-LI invited you to interview? Being in-state helps with UCF, but you didn't get noticed by other in-state programs, so did you live near central Florida for most of your upbringing?
That being said what would the chances of getting off the waitlist of any of the 3 schools I’m in the running for: UCF (top third), Colorado (haven’t received where in WL yet), Miami (just in case I get waitlisted, haven’t received a decision). I know I should prep for reapplication til accepted but I don’t want to waste money submitting primaries just to get accepted a few days later.
