finallly.......... :] i am updating my old post!! Undergrad Ed School: New York University Cumulative Undergrad. GPA: 3.44 Science Undergrad. GPA: 3.1 Age at application time : 22 GRE: Math: 165, 92% Verbal: 158, 77% Writing: 4.0 Direct Patient Care: 3000+ hours as medical assistant at urgent care center Schools Applied: Duke, Emory, Tufts, Anne Arundel CC, GWU, Albany, Cornell, LIU, PCOM, Barry, Pace, Arcadia Application Submitted Date: August 2012 Interview Invites: Duke, Tufts, GWU, Barry, Anne Arundel CC Denied: Pace, Arcadia, Tufts Withdrew Application: will withdraw from everywhere else Waitlisted: Accepted: DUKE!!!!!! my first choice and i will definitely be going here!! i never imagined that i would get even an interview to Duke but I fell in LOVE with the program especially after the interview and meeting all the faculty and students. i was worried about my GPA being on the lower side, but i assure you, you can do it!! i could not wait for this day to come and i am so excited that i will be attending DUKE in the fall!!

that's crazy!! i think i would be so shocked to be tested on things from anatomy class and would probably just blank on the answers.. congrats on your interviews!! thank you @okadam.. i will contact the school!

they interviewed you on medical knowledge? that's weird i thought that schools don't interview you on knowledge....

@okadam.. I think that blouses are fine as long as they are conservative. Personally, I was going to wear a collared shirt because I just wanted to be as professional as possible, but I look so boxy. I think I am going to try and find a blouse that is more feminine but still conservative. Also, I have not really seen this being mentioned, but what types of purses/bags are acceptable to bring? I am flying into one of my interviews the morning of and leaving right after and not sure if I should just wear my interview gear on the plane. Though its a 1 1/2 hour flight, I don't want my clothes to get wrinkled, but don't want to walk into the interview with a huge bag either.... Any thoughts/experience with this?

thank you PAMAC, I will look into applying to a few more schools I am applying to Tufts, EVMS, and looking into Marywood and Univ of Charleston Do you guys think I will get in this cycle? I really hope so!

Undergrad Ed School: New York University Cumulative Undergrad. GPA: 3.44 Science Undergrad. GPA: 3.1 (very low! :[ ) Age at application time : 22 1st GRE: Math: 165, 92% Verbal: 158, 77% Writing: 4.0 Direct Patient Care: 3000+ hours as medical assistant at urgent care center Schools Applied: Anne Arundel CC, GWU, Albany, Cornell, LIU, PCOM, Barry, Pace, Arcadia Application Submitted Date: August 2012 Interview Invites: None so far Denied: Pace, Arcadia Withdrew Application: pending Waitlisted: pending Accepted: pending Already received TWO rejections! What do you think my chances are for the other schools? I am trying to stay hopeful but I got rejected from two schools where I thought I might actually receive interviews. I think my low science GPA may be a huge factor. What do you guys think? Thanks!
