I got the SAME E-MAIL!!!!!! I was utterly surprised. I read the invite first (which was second in my inbox) and then got the let down letter. Needless to say I am not happy.

EMT Girl, I was in EXACTLY the same boat last month. I got just two interview since then and am waiting around to here (hopefull) something else. It is VERY tough to read this board, which is mostly filled with post-interview banter and "where should I go after being accepted" talk, at...

Hey peeps....I am, regrettably, in the same situation. I am thinking because my undergrad GPA isn't stellar I am being placed in a "We will potentially consider you after we figure out what the total applicant pool looks like" pile. I sent out a bunch of secondaries in October ( verified the...

None, Do MD's do a lot of drug design? I was under the impression they left most rational ligand design to chemists. Heck...unfortunately most of the compounds made today are from combinatorial laboratories. This pushes rational design right out the window in favor of the shotgun...

I have indulged in my fair share of the chronic in my day. I decided to forgo our friend mary after high school though. In my experience dope breaks down to this......There are a (very) few people in the world who can smoke dope at will and it has ABSOLUTELY no effect on their outside life...

I win hands down.....they deleted the course hours from one of my graduate courses (of course I happened to have an A in this course) so it was not included in my GPA calculation...it brought me down almost 0.2! I contacted them and guess what they said.....oh in about 2 weeks we will get...

I just got a rejection yesterday. It said "My application was not reviewed favorably". OUCH!!! After crying for some time in the corner I wandered into a dark closet, shut the door, and drank myself into a stupor. That always cheers me up when I get bad news! Just kidding of...

Orbtiz.com Orbitz.com Orbitz.com I have flown round trip from BWI to San Diego 3 times in the past 2 months for $130 (that includes tax etc....). It is a fantastic site!

I submitted on 7/20, was verified on 10/22 and realized on 11/2 that the verified form of my AMCAS had a major GPA error. (They erased the credit hours of one of my courses. Of course they left the course on the form, they just didn't include it in my GPA calculation). I contacted AMCAS and...

Coalboy (btw cool name), I am in-state alright. I will check my app. status tho.! How bout you?

Hello All, Had anyone heard anything from Maryland? I submitted my secondary almost 1.5 months ago and still nothing. This seems to be a theme with me though.....I have 17 secs. out there and nothing yet! (Except rejections from Pritzker and UCSF). I am beginning to wonder...

No. The difference isn't in the calculation (they would be have be using some type of communist math to do that). One of my courses has everything next to it.....grade etc...except the OT hours were left out. A big, big problem. Now I have to spend the next 3 hours doing more of what should...

I decided to check my "verified" AMCAS app. just to see which schools I hadn't heard from. I noticed that my graduate GPA was off by over .16! It went from a 3.6 to a 3.44!!!! Can you believe that? The problem is I think they already sent the verified app out. I hope they have a method of...

I was kind of hoping they were screening. At least that way you know you aren't TOTALLY going to waste your $$$. Still no interviews yet :(

I thought I put a lot of effort into Chicago's secondary....I suppose not enough! Jalbrekt...they wouldn't even reschedule an interview? They are losing out, not you.
