stopmakingascene Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hey Everyone! I was wondering if anyone is interested in collectively helping each other prepare for the 2016 cycle? Basically, I was going to apply for this upcoming cycle and spent the past year making sure I was able to fulfil the requirements for as many schools as I could, tried to get a good understanding of what each school looks for in their students (outside of grades/MCAT), and pretty much gather as much information I could to be strategic in my application. HOWEVER, as I found out more information, the more I realized that I still had a long way to go since it's not like I could turn back time and adjust for the things I should've. Sooo….. I am now taking a 5th year in hopes to bringing up my GPA and really want to use this year to fill in the gaps in my application. If anyone else is in a similar situation and is interested in working together to make as much information available and transparent as possible, let me know so we can set something up. I think its important to be strategic when applying (even the words you use and how you structure them in your ABS), and the best way to be so is by working together and using each others' knowledge. I know a lot of this information is available throughout the forums, but perhaps having it in one "location" would make it a little easier!

canucks_14 Posted August 16, 2014 Report Share Posted August 16, 2014 is the 2016 cycle for admission in 2016 and apply in 2015? or is it admission 2017 and apply 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medschover30 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Sounds like a great idea to me, my situation is a little different although I will be applying next year as well (Assuming you meant applying 2015 for admission 2016). The more we can help each other out the better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stopmakingascene Posted August 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 apply in 2015 for 2016 admission! if anyone is interested in applying as an OOP, then I can post my original message on other boards as well so that we can have an abundant amount of information for all schools that are available (even for USA schools) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thethirdlaw Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm in, working together to create a profile of what schools want and update it as this next cycle goes through would be great. I really want to get in during the 2015 cycle, though taking a year off to make $$$/travel after my MSc wouldn't be tragic (hahah), I wanna start medicine. Anyone wanna make up a google doc? That was we can dump and edit collectively? I also have access to MSAR as far as US schools go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
