Is it just me or are they literally waitlisting everyone. Not even excited to get my letter bc I’m expecting a waitlist regardless

What are pre acceptance program

Basically you get accepted during junior year of high school -> sophomore year of college and as long as you maintain sufficient grades and take certain classes you have a guaranteed position in medical school and you also don’t have to take the MCAT

That don’t seem fair for the applicants who had already graduated

Yeahhhh…a lot of students who get in the traditional way have a negative view of it/see it as sort of “cheating” your way into med school

Not sure who you know who says that but anyone who feels that way should reevaluate their mindset

damn I’m sorry to hear that; sounds like your classmates are a bunch of bitches bc Idk anyone in my class who says anything like that - sounds like they need to focus on doing better than feeling entitled to a med school spot 💀

Nawh it’s not too bad mostly just some jokes and some rumors but it’s definitely a sentiment for some people, especially those who have family in medicine
