astudentis Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hello Is it too late to apply for the primaries? I was thinking of these schools (how would you guys comment on their wanting of canadians?): Albany Darthmouth Michigan State Mt. Sinai SUNY upstate Yale UCLA What are my chances? (35Q 14P 13B 8V, and 3.98GPA for full 3 years based on OMSAS conversion scale) Volunteered at hospital for few years, teaching, NSERC USRA, executive on societies...etc also do i need to send letters of recommendations with the primaries (independently..not via AMCAS) for the primaries, or are they needed for secondaries?

In_Valid Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Its getting a bit late yea. But, with your stats you should be OK. You send out ref letters when you get your secondaries. I recommend using interfolio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astudentis Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 so even schools that accept letters of recommendation via amcas do not require them for the primary (i.e. like boston)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THX Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 so even schools that accept letters of recommendation via amcas do not require them for the primary (i.e. like boston)? yep, only required for the secondary. You are not THAT late yet, but I'd get cracking. You become late once the the august mcat takers receive their results (early sept). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be a shoe-in for Canadian schools. Dont waste too much money on the US applications, it's already late and your app will end up at the bottom of the pile no matter how good your stats are.

worriedandwaiting Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Especially when verbal is low (8). Apply for the US schools, you never know what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
