The Long Wait

Hi,
I just interviewed this morning in Miami and it went well. The only thing that scares me is that they calculated my gpa much lower than I anticipated. They put my science gpa at around a 2.5 and my cumulative at a 3.0. My MCAT is a 21 which they said was good....who knew. I have tons of volunteer hours, etc... My question is do you know people with these stats who have gotten accepted, MERP'ed, etc... Should I call the office every so often to check in on the status of my application? I have a feeling these next few weeks are going to be quite long! Thanks guys!

helppp!

I interviewed on jan 9 and they interviewer said ~2-4 weeks.

Does anyone know what is the acceptance rate after interview?
Are our chances better because we applied early?
I have a 2.9 and a 23M, the interviewer said he'd put in a good word for me but that he wasn't too sure. i have lots of volunteer, research, and recently co-authored an abstract. Anyone been in my shoes before? This wait is killing me.. Any advice?

I think I read somewhere on here that the acceptance rate was ~40%, but I'm not sure if that figure is pre or post interview. You might want to try a search.

Anyway, my husband had very similar stats. He had a 2.9 GPA, 3.1 Science GPA, and a 24MCAT score. He too had a lot of research experience and even co-published an entire journal article, not just the abstract...however, Ross was quick to tell him that his research accomplishments were of little consequence to his acceptance, because Ross is not a research institute. Still, I'm sure it counts for something. Anyway, needless to say he got in, so I'm confident you'll be accepted as well. Good Luck!!!
