human instinct Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hey...Pardon my ignorance but I have been unable to find answers on SDN regarding these questions so any help would be great!: 1. What is the LizzyM score and how can it be calculated? 2. Where in MSAR can I get information on % of OOS/Canadians accepted? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizzyM is an ad comm member who came up with a quick and dirty way to see if you are competitive for a school. GPA x 10 + mcat score = LizzyM score If your LizzyM score is at least equal to the school's mean LizzyM score then you are competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under each school's section, they have a breakdown of # of applicants and # accepted. If I remember correctly, the table also had a breakdown of in-state vs. out-of-state vs. international.

5jy4 Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Wouldn't the LizzyM score not really apply to Canadians since, we're considered in a different pool (ex. internationals) where it is certainly more competitive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey... Yeah I guess so...but just to get a general idea.. Anyway, theres another tool I found at SDN which lets you incorporate OOS or instate into calculation of your score and allows you to figure out probabilities of getting into atleast one school from a number of schools. The guy who created it has put up a pdf of the score calculating tool. If anyone gets the time to try it out...lemme know. I believe this is more accurate than the LizzyM score on its own The link to the SDN discussion: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/showthread.php?t=501791 The tool: http://www.2shared.com/file/2941574/98a32e56/Med_School_Probabilities.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works only for private schools that don't discriminate and SUNY upstate. Regardless, Canadians are a "special" kind of international . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
