"I know this isn't helpful but none really. I thought you put on a really nice interview day and it was clear you wanted us!" More from this Member | Report Response

"Please obtain population data on students who are military scholarship recipients, notably HPSP candidates. I found out after speaking with several students that there are roughly 50 HPSP students in their class of about 600, which is staggeringly high in comparison to other programs that may have a handful or two of HPSP students. That sense of community in this niche area of interest is extremely attractive to people like myself." More from this Member | Report Response

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
