hey 10 years where else have you gotten in....just curious

haha, thanks. yeah I applied to SABA and IAU and also two PA schools in ny ( before I had decided to do MD) Sophie Davis and Downstate Medical. Saba rejected me b/c I had not completed orgo yet and would'nt be completing until summer of 06 for fall 06 admission

help! hi everyone, ive been reading most of the posts which are extremely helpful. I just sent in my application to mua for pre med 1 sept 06 i wont have 60 credits till august. what are my chances? also what the basic gpa requirement even though it says 3.0

Lost45, as per my research from college's website, this forum and by calling to gardner office. You got to have 60 credits for Pre-med, and I think you can still apply to a future Pre-med term before which you can have all of your required 60 credits and you may get in subject to completion of your credit .....As far as GPA,, I have seen people who got in with with 2.8...

i have my interview in like 9 hours and ive been stalking this board and have gone over all of the interview threads to the point of obsession...i am still pretty nervous...wish me luck...

how did it go?

it went very well...they covered a lot of the same questions posted in this thread and they told me to expect something to be emailed...i have only heard of them emailing acceptance letters since there isnt much time between now and when the first tuition payment is due...they said the liked the grades (3.0) i had all of the pre reqs and i had a nice personal statement and some clinical experience...

i personally was very nervous and didnt think my stats were good enough...but if someone has comparable stats u can def get in...i also found out that they are expecting a decision from the ny board in 4-6 weeks....if anyone has any questions u guys can pm me...although i havent received the email i as of right now...i am confident that the interview went well...they really talked about paying the tuition on time and what to do and who to contact to get more info on what to bring to the island and they consistently said that i had excellent answers....

one piece of advice...just make sure that you have a nicely articulated answer for each of their questions...dont write anything before the interview because it will seem rehearsed...just relax i was sharing a few laughs with the two interviewers they were laid back and made me feel comfortable... good luck to everyone and hopefully i can give u guys some good news soon...

HI almostfamous
congratulations for ur acceptance
i have interview scheduled on march 20
i will have 92 credits by end of this spring semester and my GPA is 3
but i dont have any clinical experiences
what u think my chances are?

thanks...its pretty easy to have clinical experience in some form...so it may seem to the interviewer that you did not take much initiative on your own...just make sure you have a good reason...or tell them you plan on doing it...did you take the mcats yet...they ask about them...if you have an interview you are in good standing...a very high percentage of the people that get interviewed get accepted...just look over the questions that have been posted...and keep a copy of ur application nearby...

shivaji.. they tend to ask some questions regarding clinical experiences and it builds the interview. I think its very important that you get clinical experience
