This is SDN. The stats here are going to always be insane. People with barely passable stats aren’t eager to tell the world. That’s also why everyone on SDN seems to have a 240+ step 1.

Agreed a small fraction of the accepted applicant pool is on this site, I wouldn't draw any major conclusion based off of less than 10 people

 

[fldoctorgirl]

These stats are making me really nervous applying next cycle lol, congrats to all of you though!

To add to the above, it seems that most of these posters were accepted to the "higher tier" DO schools. New schools will have lower stats for accepted students.

Crazy to me that stats like this only pulled two acceptances. I'm only a freshman, but I don't see my stats surpassing these by much if at all when I apply, so this worries me a bit.

Many people turn down additional interview invites or withdraw their apps once being accepted to their top choice!

 

[Coltuna]

Crazy to me that stats like this only pulled two acceptances. I'm only a freshman, but I don't see my stats surpassing these by much if at all when I apply, so this worries me a bit.

I'm sorry I should've put in my post that I was invited to interview at many other places (6 maybe?). I only went on 2 interviews, was accepted to both, and decided not to go to the others.

 

[OUBobcat]

I'm sorry I should've put in my post that I was invited to interview at many other places (6 maybe?). I only went on 2 interviews, was accepted to both, and decided not to go to the other.

Oh, makes much more sense. Congrats! Sorry, I'm just your typical freshman pre med runt

 

[Coltuna]

Oh, makes much more sense. Congrats! Sorry, I'm just your typical freshman pre med runt

No worries I was there once haha

 

[fldoctorgirl]

Oh, makes much more sense. Congrats! Sorry, I'm just your typical freshman pre med runt

Don't worry. My sophomore year I got a D on my first physics test and cried because I thought I wouldn't get into med school. We've all been runts

 

[OUBobcat]

Don't worry. My sophomore year I got a D on my first physics test and cried because I thought I wouldn't get into med school. We've all been runts

Lol... Only been through my first semester so far, so I don't know the true stress of the process yet.

 

[de Ribas]

Oh, makes much more sense. Congrats! Sorry, I'm just your typical freshman pre med runt

Plus, with these good stats, candidates apply to less schools because they have a higher chance to get in where they want. With slightly lower stats, just need to apply more broadly and be less choosy and you will be ok. Don't tress about it yet. Just focus on school and other ECs. You will be fine.

 

[de Ribas]

Lol... Only been through my first semester so far, so I don't know the true stress of the process yet.

To reduce stress, I suggest start learning about the admissions process now and take it slowly. SDN is great resource.

[buyingrunescimmy20k]

Don't worry. My sophomore year I got a D on my first physics test and cried because I thought I wouldn't get into med school. We've all been runts

[fldoctorgirl]

Lol in my sophomore year physics class, I never got above a 50% on a test and ended up with a B. Gotta love a meaty curve.

Lol yeah, I ended up with a B+ in the class. It was a really big lesson for me not to stress out so much from one bad thing, because things usually work themselves out. That is the advice I would give to any freshman who is stressing

 

[Coltuna]

It was a really big lesson for me not to stress out so much from one bad thing, because things usually work themselves out.

This is great advice to anyone starting out as pre-med. I can't count the amount of times I lost sleep over test grades, lab mistakes, my first B, MCAT, certain aspects of the application process, etc. Looking back, I'd still be accepted (with a few less gray hairs) if I didn't sweat the small stuff.

I agree, thanks brother.

 

[SirCourageWolf]

Are you saying you declined UIWSOM?

Yes. I had an early acceptance to a school I adored so the cost of traveling + the lack of a graduating class were personal deal-breakers.
