The Law Posted August 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hey guys would you consider a cGPA of 3.5 competitive for a Canadian applicant? Also do US schools consider summer courses or no? Thanks! With a good mcat, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Is any one complete at Keck? I've submitted on August 2, and it still shows my LORs as missing. Is anyone else having the same problem? Still not complete too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Posted August 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Has anyone been marked complete at Penn State yet? I submitted 8/3 and the status says "Our records indicate that your Secondary Application has been received, but it has not been determined whether your application is complete or not at this time. Once that determination has been made, you will be notified via email." Should I call them to double check? Or is everyone else incomplete too?

The Law Posted August 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2010 Once you complete your primary application on AMCAS, where can you find your GPA? They will verify your application first, then after it's been verified, a GPA will be in the "print application" pdf file in the GPA section.

My application was complete on 8/6, so I guess they're still looking at it. I'm hoping for the best, but seeing all these rejections is making me apprehensive.

The Law Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 I just got an e-mail from Boston U (AH, one of my top choices!! lol) saying: It has been 30 days since we sent you a notice indicating that your application was complete and had been referred to our Committee on Admissions for review. While our Committee is accustomed to reviewing a very large volume of applications, this year we have seen an unprecedented number of applications that have been completed early in the cycle. It appears that we will be able to interview only about 10% of our applicants this year, so these reviews are quite challenging. As a result, we are running several weeks behind. I regret the fact that we have not been able to take action on your application as yet, but I want to assure you that we are moving as quickly as we can and that there will be no penalty for the delay in our processing. Applicants who are selected for interview are invited in chronological order by date of application completion, not by date of review. If our Committee on Admissions concludes that we can invite you for an interview and campus visit, we will get it done! Please accept our apology for any inconvenience caused by our extended review of your file. We expect to complete our evaluation quite soon, and wish you success with all your applications.

entity Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Hey guys, I have mid 3.94 GPA and have 31R (9VR) MCAT score. I am a Canadian with US citizenship. Does anyone know which schools I will be competitive? Do I stand a chance at any great schools, like Cornell or Columbia? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know which schools I will be competitive? Do I stand a chance at any great schools, like Cornell or Columbia? Thanks! Your GPA is competitive, but the average MCAT for those two schools is around 34-35ish, but there will be some people below and above these scores, so you have a chance. I guess it depends on your extracurriculars and essays. Those schools usually want you to do something extraordinary if you lack in test scores. With your stats you could probably get into some state schools, and not as competitive schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGGSaint Posted August 20, 2010 Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 So here I am w/ all secondaries complete except never having received JHU. I figured I had been pre-screened (due to my new MCAT which, unlike the old one, is below their 10th percentile accepted). Now I have absolutely no expectations but had asked my French history professor for a reference letter specifically for this school a while back, so I figured I would apply regardless. *Finally* realized that JHU does not pre-screen and went on their website (got my cue from SDN) and completed the secondary. Officially done all secondaries now...unless I have some luck my way from either UMinn or Vandy . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
