JohnGrisham Posted October 1, 2014 Report Share Posted October 1, 2014 Are you applying this year? Be warned that if you are applying to MD schools this late in the game as an international- you might not receive the response you would be hoping for - had you applied earlier. Add Meharry and RFU.Would suggest applying first thing next cycle, since if you haven't submitted your primary yet, you will be way too late to have good chances - that your impressive stats warrant. PM me if you want more info about US schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MD2B2019 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Just my 2 cents: 1. LizzyM Score GPA x 10 + MCAT = 72.9 Put you in the middle tier schools 2. Even Primary verified in Aug. submit today is late for most schools 3. U. Washington at St. Louise is the TOP tier MD school which MCAT average 38 (higher than Harvard and Yale) 4. Dartmouth is NOT rolling, maybe you still have good chance there (MCAT average 35, GPA 3.8), put 120% your best on 2nd application. 5. Oakland is new and VERY CANADIAN FRIENDLY, try use your reference to write something you like that school's program or you like Michigan and personal connection to that school or state to increase your chance, because there's hundreds Canadian applicants already submit 2nd application before you, if all the same, why they give you II? 6. Check each schools' website, are they all really Canadian friendly? 7. No Howard, unless you're URM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, you shot yourself in the foot by only starting on Secondaries now, it is VERY late. You might get some love somewhere, but if you had applied first thing in the cycle - you would have been SUBSTANTIALLY better off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you are aware that if you don't get love this cycle, it was most likely because you applied late - and not because you aren't a solid applicant. You are in a pretty position for an acceptance, it will just be all about luck this cycle though since the late application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
