What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

"Get interview dates straight and don't change schedule minutes before it starts." More from this Member | Report Response

"Cut the 6 hour time block, just do the 20 minute interview" More from this Member | Report Response

"Ensure the admissions committee, such as the interviewers are aware that they should be impartial. Not mean and even possibly dismissive." More from this Member | Report Response

"took 4 months to review my app, but i'll take what i can get this cycle..." More from this Member | Report Response

"Put the interviews earlier in the day, before the hours of presentations." More from this Member | Report Response

"Twenty minutes for an interview is too short. Also would be nice to get to meet the interviewers beforehand just as a quick meet & greet before moving on with the day's agenda." More from this Member | Report Response

"Change a lot. 1. "We believe a 20 minute interview is enough to get to know you." A) No, it's not B) That's so disrespectful to students who travel from so far and spend so much money to be there for the day. I could have had a skype interview and you would have gotten the same impression of whether or not i was a "normal person". 2. The lady leading the interview day, Ms. Kate Snow if I remember correctly, was incredibly kind, personable, talkative and knowledgeable about the school and surrounding area (being a local, duh). She deserves a raise. With that being said, she should not be on the admissions board. I understand why it would seem like a good idea for her to be after talking to interviewees in the more relaxed setting throughout the day, but here's what really happened. Once she told everyone she was on the admissions board and would be helping make decisions, every student there immediately changed their demeanor and became a suck-up towards her. Talking to the other interviewees throughout the day and then seeing them talk to her or in a group with her was a night and day difference. Everyone felt fake and it kind of felt like i was in a play the entire time i was there because of this." 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.
