Interview Invites/Regrets 2011-2012

[thatonekid]

Hey guys, please keep all discussion here.

This thread is exclusively for posting stats so that people can rapidly skim through it and get an idea of what's going on. Please don't give moderators the additional work of shuffling posts over to the discussion thread because they've been doing that everytime the stats threads get cluttered.

 

Cheers

A friendly reminder

Graduate Degree complete

Met MCAT cutoffs

February 27th, at around 4 p.m.

 

I can't say I was very productive in my graduate degree. Then again, it's a completely different ball game in the humanities. We do not really have 2nd or 3rd authors. I have no idea how they evaluated me.
