Thread: What are my chances at getting into AUA?

Sci 3.3
cgpa.3.1
27r

No guarantees of approval = approval is impossible? I don't think so. No editing required.

I just sent in my application for Fall 2011 yesterday... Do you think it is too late? :-\
My stats are: 3.45 cGPA, 3.20 sGPA. Lots of MD shadowing, Lots of Volunteerwork, Two LOR from MDs, One LOR from Organic 2 Prof.

What do you guys think?

MCAT? sGPA is a little low.

I don't think that sGPA is low for AUA. 25+ MCAT and you can get into AUA, Ross, AUC, SABA, 27+ MCAT SGU as well.

Not guaranteed, but I think you have an excellent shot. My sGPA and cGPA were both a 3.3 and I got in without a problem. Definitely not too late to apply, but if you get accepted and are set on going here, get your deposits in ASAP. The incoming August class is rumored to be very large. Housing will be interesting.

Oh geez... how large are we talking???

The rumor on Antigua is ~600 (I assume (and hope) that includes med-1, transfer and pre-med). However, I am not sure how accurate that number is.

got a quick question: do you need to submit the mcat scores although they are not required?

Unless you have something to hide, I would submit the scores. It is medical school after all.

You are not required to submit your scores. However, your interviewer will most likely ask you if you have taken it. Its not worth it to lie about it. I essentially bombed the MCAT, and told my interviewer about it during my interview (and I was accepted). It can make for a really good discussion about how you deal with failure and how you plan on approaching similar tests in the future.
