Thread: Fall 2012 4 year program Applicants-- Introduce yourself!!

Hey guys,

I'm not going to bother asking "what are my chances" since my application is currently complete and am now just anticipating the interview. I personally look at the interview as a good opportunity to speak more about myself especially given my 26 MCAT and gpa under 3.0(out of 4). In the past few years after completing undergrad I have contributed and led volunteer and fundraising campaigns. For a brief time I was considering Public Health and took a nonmatriculated grad course at UMDNJ in environmental health which I aced. Currently I am working at a cadaveric lab/simulated OR primarily aimed towards surgeon education. My company focuses in spinal surgery products and procedures and has pioneered the lateral approach. I have to constantly find ways to streamline lab processes and am constantly learning new products and procedures in development. I appreciate my job very much as it has given me a hands-on learning experience with surgery. I am constantly being tested as well; last year I had to take the clinical spine exam, a test that covers spinal anatomy, products, procedures, and other topics related to the company. I am currently preparing for a certification exam which tests my ability to lead a surgeon through a specific procedure. If I pass that, I am then able to teach surgeons that technique and the products associated with it.

Sorry for rambling, I just felt like there's a lot to talk about! Please share!

You need a 24 full stop.

Okay well I guess the last interviews were this past weekend in NYC. I was interviewed on the 8th. Does anyone know how long it will take for responses?

Hi all,

Wondering how many days/ weeks you had to wait to hear from Jag after you sent you application form? I sent my application a week ago but still have not received any thing from them. Do they email or send you a letter or give you a call????? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

Planning to shadwo a physican this upcoming fall 2012. Now, the biggest issue is the MCAT. I did not do so well the first time so I will retake it January 2013 since Sept 2012 is the last available date to take it this year and I will not have neough time to prepare.
