Thanks, I appreciate it. I guess I'm the opposite of you-higher GPA, lower MCAT. I’ve heard schools focus on MCAT scores more than GPA (to an extent) so you're in better shape than me. Congrats on your II! I'm retaking and reapplying for next cycle.

Well my GPA is in their range but mcat was below 25% I think for me it was mission fit. Good luck!

I just realized you meant 25th percentile for the current MCAT stats on their page. I was thinking 25th percentile as in a 492, and since you clearly scored higher, I thought you were talking about your GPA.

they emailed me saying to fill out the CSS profile to be eligible for an interview. I hope it's a good sign but I don't want to read too much into it. What about you?

nothing yet! which is later than last year (I'm reapplying, and I got my rejection last cycle early November). they also sent me that CSS profile reminder email last year, so it might be sent to everyone who's being considered for the scholarship? rooting for us to hear good news soon!! :)

Fingers crossed! did you hear from them?

Do you mind if I ask what your MCAT was last year? I have a low MCAT so I am surprised they emailed me about the CSS profile. Maybe it doesn't mean much

Do you need to apply separately? I have submitted FAFSA and CSS but haven’t heard anything about it.

it's for internationals only (who have lived outside the US for >=15 years). Do you meet this requirement?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone happened to receive a merit scholarship in their acceptance email or if you know when we'd find out if we were selected for one?

They accidentally sent me an interview in September then rescheduled it for Jan. they said they interview all internationals in Jan to give time to submit CSS.

I interviewed right before winter break — anyone know when mid/late December folks will hear back? The timing of decisions was never mentioned on my interview day.
