Summary of Experience:
Ended up not applying here.
Summary of Experience:
Terrible interview experience with what I considered a very rude interviewer asking me out-of-bounds questions. The school was decent though but I got the feeling that many students were non-trad and that the atmosphere was a bit too party-like for my taste.
Summary of Experience:
:( Really disappointed about the rejection. I absolutely loved the school and the students I met and this was the highest ranked school I applied to besides UMich. The city's amazing too and my kind of place. Oh well...
Summary of Experience:
NOTE: This is supposed to represent WMED...Probably the best interview day but they misled applicants into thinking their simulations were unique...Also the MCAT is after 3rd yr...this made me not regret the watlist.
Backtothebasics8 took the old MCAT and scored a which is in the percentile of all old scores.
We converted this to a on the updated scale which is in the percentile of the updated MCAT. We also converted Backtothebasics8’s section scores as follows:
