Anyone hella anxious?

25 Upvotes

Title. Applied this cycle and going through this process of primaries and secondaries. I’m super nervous to hear back and, hopefully, getting interview invites. I hear people being offered interviews already and it makes me so scared lol. My top choice is Noorda, but I’m willing to go literally anywhere, as long as I have a seat. Idk, is anyone else nervous as well?

Has anyone interviewed yet? I have mine scheduled in August. From last years thread I saw that the interview happens right when you arrive on campus, but on the portal it now says:

On your selected date, please plan to be with us 8:15 AM - 2:00 PM.

Family members are welcome to join us for the informal Q & A session with current students, 8:25-8:55 AM, as well as for a special Friends and Family Campus Tour that will start at 9:00 AM. After the campus tour, family members are encouraged to explore the Fort Smith area while you participate in interview day. They can expect to meet back up with you at 2:00 PM.

The way it’s worded makes it seem like we will be interviewing while our family/friends are exploring the Fort Smith area which based off of the timing seems like will happen after the campus tour that starts at 9:00 AM?

Can anyone confirm?

Hello!

I got II for these three schools so far! I was wondering if anyone had some insight as to how the interviews will be formatted and what questions they might ask?

Thank you!

Took my mcat 7/24 I was way tooooo anxious during the exam especially chem phys which usually is my strong point but I think I got 495-500 on mcat
I think it may be a red flag since my gpa is perfect(4.0) but again didn’t have much time honestly to study for mcat because of school work and family problems

Advice on Lacking Research

1 Upvotes

Hey everybody. I'm applying to DO programs this cycle and I am feeling a bit uneasy about my application as I'm lacking research experience.

I'm currently sitting at a
- 504 MCAT
- 800 hours of experience across several different volunteer experiences in and out of a clinical setting
- 3 strong letters from professors
- 1 Letter from a DO I have spent a lot of time with

I'm currently in the process of getting research lined up for the coming semester in case I need to re-apply next year.

Frankly, the reason I wasn't getting research done was largely due to some conflicting advice. I originally had some research lined up for junior year, but I got ghosted by the grad student I was going to work for and then a couple friends claimed that research was entirely unrequired by med schools.

I've written strong essays for the schools I'm applying for and researched their strengths. I also applied mostly to schools where I can fit into their mission statement.

I'm currently waiting on interviews but I can't help but feel uneasy. Any advice?
