hopefullyDr Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 I am finishing my AMCAS application (submitting today). My letters and transcripts are already received. Good ECs, GPA 3.97 on OMSAS scale (so prob higher on AMCAS), MCAT ( 506-127, 125, 127, 127). I am applying to Central Michigan University and Taulene. Is it worth it?Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maradona10 Posted November 15, 2016 Report Share Posted November 15, 2016 Probably not, tbh. Only DO schools maybe. I applied this year in August with better stats than you (no offence) and have not heard back from multiple schools. It's almost too late in the game. American schools are easier to get into, but NOT as an international student. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance You are hopelessly too late and you're wasting your time. Sorry to be harsh, but this is the reality. Your application won't get approved until December and you will probably not receive an interview, even if you were competitive. Most people with average applications try to have theirs in no later than end of July. edit: also, applying to only 2 schools? Why??? Most US citizens will do 20-30.

Yes, I am aware that am too late. I already submitted my application last night and surprisingly it got processed today and sent to the schools. At least I got the expereince of applying and if not, will re apply next cycle...btw what do you think of my stats for next cycle, if I apply as early as possible? Only 2 schools because I am late and already applied to Canadian Schools (was not planning on applying to the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your ECs like ? (I know you wrote "good" but what does that mean, approximately ?) The US places a strong emphasis on actual clinical work - whether that's volunteering or what not.
