Summary of Experience:
Wow, this school sucked for LOR's. Completely unflexable, if you are nontraditional who has been out of school awhile, just forget it. Very disappointed with them.
Summary of Experience:
Received Secondary, although some Floridians considered IS, I am not, states need 3.6 and 30 to be competitive for OOS, will fill out secondary if MCAT retake comes out better.
Summary of Experience:
Finally received secondary, but I am not sure I will fill out, I don't feel competitive. Rejection by Email. I never did the secondary, as I wasn't competitive as an OOS student.
Summary of Experience:
Short secondary. I am interested in what the campus will be like if I get invited. Rejected via Snail mail... And another one bites the dust
Summary of Experience:
02/25/15 - You suck UCF, that is all 7/27/14 - went over my secondary essays again, not near as thrilled this time. I don't have good feelings at this moment 7/30/14 - EFI (Eligible for Interview) hopefully this is something!
Summary of Experience:
8/12/14 - updated to the 'reservations/ subcommittee' status. Super bummed. What else is there to say, I am one rung above rejection. 9/15/14-got the email for the updated 'status,' was rejected.
Summary of Experience:
Call placed to them 07/10/14, waiting for callback. Got a callback on the 15th, finally got secondary a couple days later. 03/09/15 - Rejected for interview but offered to apply to the new IMS - I applied, but don't know if I would do this over an acceptance. 04/07/15 - Attended IMS interview. I liked the school, don't know about them potentially going to a "high pass, honors" system. Seems like a way to make the school more gunnerish. I asked them about this during the interview, and they told me that it would still be a pass/fail but with an 'honors' option (not a high pass system). And the class is still unranked. Not sure if I can choose this over DCOM since its an extra year. But the location is much more of my preference. Hard decision if they take me.
Summary of Experience:
02/09/15 - So after attending a last minute interview I was rejected post-interview, didn't see it coming, didn't feel good. But they have to reject most applicants. 12/01/14 - Update- I figured it out, and just told them I didn't have a strong Campus preference, so they could place me where they thought I was a fit. Probably a mistake to fill out this secondary so late. We will see though. Haven't figured out how to rank these yet, so I haven't finished the secondary. I will though. They had a nice admissions rep call me. Auburn is brand new, but ACOM claims that all rotations sites are their's, so I am worried about that.
Summary of Experience:
I knew the interveiw wouldn't be good when the current M1's looked at my interviewer and said 'eww, hes tough.' He was, very focused on the negative. It happens. I will move on.
Summary of Experience:
03/27/15 - So I was rejected by Snail mail today. I probably should have applied ED, but I didn't think I would like them so much at the time, and I thought that they would probably reject me since I am A) Out of School for the most part and have a below 30 MCAT; B) OOS; and C) Not attending an admissions officers/faculties home church, nor do I have any connections to one. I thought they might be different based on my interview, but at the end of the day they did exactly what I expected pre-interview, and for the reasons I thought ahead of time (flat out told me they were concerned with my ability to handle a medical school load based on my MCAT during my interview, despite the fact that their 10 percentile is 25). I can't complain, I feel blessed to be done with the process with them, and Adventists schools are always a mixed bag. I do feel that if I lived there and attended the Deans church I would have gotten in tho, its much easier to reject me when I am 2000 miles away. 01/11/15- Wow, I don't know if this was divine providence or what, but I was completely blown away when I attended the interview. . II on 10/13/14, weird scheduling. Seems like they put me as far out as they could even though they asked me for dates.
Summary of Experience:
04/28/15 - So I have been rejected. Again. Another one bites the dust. 4/10/15 - Got put on hold today, this is FSU version of a waitlist, so we will see. Last minute interview invite - exciting, but probably not gonna do too much for me at this point, but it is worth giving up my LECOM Seton Hill for tho.
Summary of Experience:
Dr. Palmazaro told me my interview was 'average.' I guess an average with him is an excellent for others. I am beginning to think he was being facetious. 02/13/15 - My first acceptance! Called me at 0945pm, I will be a doctor!
