suburban area of California, 519, 3.94 cum gpa

not a ton of volunteer hours (about 300 total), but i had one significant one to me that lasted 2 years

couldn't get into research during undergrad. got clinical research exp after graduating (which also overlaps with a majority of my clinical exp hrs), about 600-700 clinical hrs

this school was highkey my biggest fit for what i want to do, so i think my Why UIowa carried me hard despite being OOS

I wonder if they are looking through them by mcat score bc most have been 519+ so far. I’m oos rural boarder state, little but lower than that mcat and interviewed in early sept

It looks like last year second week was quiet after, then this last week of October they had 23 acceptances total for the month. That’s similar to where we are rn that like 10+ expected to happen this week but we will see.

Apologies as I was busy losing the hog to Minnesota and missed the adcom meeting. Shouldn't you be preparing to play in the championship next year?

Nah, according to Khaldoon Al Mubarak the situation is under control.
