Addendum re Cornell. Cornell has a small class of 101. That class is filled each year with about 10-15 MD/PhD students. Two to four places are usually filled from a linked post-bac program with Hunter College in NYC. One or two may be accepted ED. That leaves only about 80 places for...

Usually, there is no way to know the state of residency of students accepted to any particular medical school, especially private medical schools. If you were able to look at a list of students actually ENROLLED, or were given a state by state breakdown of students actually enrolled, you...

Your premed advisor should have also told you that even if you failed an entire year that long ago, and reported it on your application, it wouldn't affect your chances of getting into medical school now. Even some convicted felons who served jail time have been admitted to medical school and...

Dartmouth does not have a rank-ordered wait list nor is it broken down into priority groups. This suggests that they pick from the wait-list for reasons other than simply grades and MCAT scores. If you have new information to send, such as grades or other new things that you may have done...

They are both science. AMCAS usually corrects wrongly classified courses. She might also try consulting the Harvard postbac premed program Director: Dr. William Fixsen, Division of Continuing Education. 617/495-2926

I concur with the previous answer.

First, Washington has two premedical advisors; start with them. Sharon Stahl Campus Box 1117, One Brookings Hall #205, 314/935-6089 Carolyn Herman, same address as above. 314/935-5875 Second, if they cannot answer your question, try the admissions office at the WU medical school...

The two state medical schools accept only (exceptions are rare) LA residents. Entering class 2001 LSU Shreveport In State Applicants 662, Interviewed 204 New Entrants 100 The class size is 100, but more (number unknown) may have been accepted. (1) LSU NO In State...

Both. Almost all science requires art. There is an art to asking the right questions, an art to interpreting data, an art to constructing hypotheses to test, an art to choosing the right way of testing the hypotheses, an art to recognizing when new interpretations are required. All good...

You are not getting a runaround; the wait-list is NOT rank-ordered. You should submit Spring grades. You should have been writing letters to Dr. Frantz informing him of your interest in attending Columbia. Most movement occurs this month, with a small number who might make it in after...

US medical school policies on non-residents vary. Most medical schools enroll few international students or none at all. F-1 or other student visas are essential. Some medical schools require prepayment of tuition for up to four years. Most of the medical schools that accept foreign...

U Mass does not oversubscribe its class. That means once enough acceptances have been sent out to fill all the places, vacancies will then be filled from the wait-list one at a time to maintain the class size of 100. Greatest movement: May, but movement might go on through mid-August. You...

I regret having to tell you this, but don't hold your breath. Circa 20% of those interviewed are usually offered acceptances before the end of February. That means that almost double the eventual class size are offered places. At that time a very large number of both the interviewed and...

Professional (in terms of on the job experience in colleges and universities) independent advisors do not ordinarily write letters of recommendation. They know that will not help nor will professional schools pay formal attention to them; note the operational word "formal". Yes, they get...

If "very competitive" means what I think it means, that should put you in the top third of the wait-list. The odds on being accepted are clearly in your favor. As with most medical schools, the wait-list should really starts moving May-July. While RWJ accepts phone calls from...
