pyridoxal-phosphate Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Reject OOP 3.97 GPA (something about their conversion helped a lot?) 519 (128 CARS) Top 10: My ECs are definitely weak, but used a similar writing style as schools where I did receive an invite.

Jernau Morat Gurgeh Posted February 6, 2019 Report Share Posted February 6, 2019 Invite OOP, 2nd time applying 4.00 GPA 526 (130 CARS) Top 10: I felt that they're fairly typical, with a bit of travel and an intense patient experience thrown in for added spice. Similar to last year and generally had above average scores for that round. LOR: I believe they were all good. Last year I missed the cutoff for an interview by <.2 points (Got a 109.65 overall score), with a reference who filled in the form incorrectly and sent a rude email to the admissions committee about their reference format. This year I kept things about the same, but got a much stronger reference from a different person. Also reworded things a bit and added more hours to my top 10.
