Guest Ian Wong Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Author:*Simon Chiu, UG3 Date:***11/14/2000 1:21 pm*PST * I think the best way is to call up the schools directly and explain to them the situation. Then, try to get the schools to call the MCAT office DIRECTLY as MCAT will not release the scores upon verbal (over the phone) requests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ian Wong Posted March 24, 2001 Report Share Posted March 24, 2001 Author:*Ian Wong, MS2 Date:***11/14/2000 5:45 pm*PST * Hi, Like Simon said, you NEED to get in contact with each school to explain your situation. Call them. Even if they have a policy that states not to call them, in this case, you need to do so anyway. You must also have your paperwork ready, so that you can confirm with the medical school that you tried everything possible to get those scores sent. Fax them if you need to. That, and e-mail should be lower on the priority than calling, because faxes and emails can be bounced around the office, or ignored/lost completely. You really want to talk to someone on the admissions committee. Med schools are not out to "get you", and I believe that most will be sympathetic to your troubles. I think lost pieces of applications are more common than we think, and the admissions committees will recognise this, and not disqualify you on the spot. Still, chances for you don't look as good because you are behind in the application race. It's invariably an advantage to have your materials in early, because you don't get caught up in the logjam as everyone sends their application in a week before the deadline (up here in Canada anyway). If you are applying to US schools (I couldn't tell from your message), then rolling admissions means that you must hurry even more, as each day that you lose is another day for the medical schools to fill their seats with other students. Keep us updated as to how things are going. Ian Can,MS2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
