sjc2 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 I feel kinda bad for all the people at Queens working overtime. They'll probably just take a half day in the future to compensate... we did it all the time when I worked in admissions. Some days you work long hours, that's just the way it goes.

DarkGohan Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Seriously, I am still invited given my MCAT scores (125 in CARS) and GPA... (around 3.68) ? I find this hard to believe. I have emailed them and will wait for a response before I get too happy. Yea man this is insane. I have a 126 in CARS. I feel like they may just let us go to interviews with the intention of rejecting us from the start. There is no way this can be fair in either case.

Aw no I don't think it was a pity invite at all. The lady on the phone said she wasn't sure why people who are invited are also getting rejection emails and where the extra rejections were coming from. So it really sounded to me like you were on the initial invite list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepit Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Last two years or cGPA, whichever is higher. Does Queens actually take whichever is higher? Also, any confirmation if when you receive an e-mail corresponds to pre-interview ranking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yogachick Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Here's an update.. I just called back and the lady said she will stay in the office as long as it takes for them all to go out and she again confirmed that not all invited are out. She also said it's still showing as less than 50% of all the emails are out at this point. And she apologized profusely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna believe there's still a chance for me, but I haven't seen a single invite timestamped after 3:45 EST. Why do I have a feeling only rejections are being handed out now?

Neurophilic Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hang in there folks! At this point it's better for them to take their time and have everything get sent out properly. Hey Savac, and to other queens med students, I was wondering your opinions on whether if taking a later interview date would be detrimental to getting accepted. I mean, do you think you're scrutinized more because of greater prep time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGUG Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I wanna believe there's still a chance for me, but I haven't seen a single invite timestamped after 3:45 EST.
