PA2B83 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I Applied last cycle 2019 and I wanted to share my feedback with you all.. UNM Alumni Registered Vascular Technologist (Vascular Ultrasound) 5000+ Volunteer Hours with Multiple Organizations (including Hosting a Foreign Exchange Student) Be The Match, National Marrow Donor Registry wrote me a recommendation letter including all the volunteering I have done for them Culturally aware, lived in Korea plus travelled to Thailand, Japan, Vietnam and The Philippines. GPA last 60 hours was 3.39, overall science and math 3.0 What I wanted to share with everyone because it is important is: Dealing with the NEW Advisor she will tell you conflicting information as the previous AMAZING advisor, as now ALL THE GPA MATTERS, when the old Advisor said last 60hours only..... She will tell you they accept ONLY 2 out of state applicants, not true. They used to have 2 seats for lower 3.0 GPA's according to old Advisor. They are not reading over the application at all.....FYI Was told in my feedback I had NO VOLUNTEER HOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had 6 PUBLICATIONS WRITTEN UP ON MY VOLUNTEERING with a link to each article included & a recommendation letter from Be the Match about all my volunteer work with them plus my supplemental application was also written about a volunteer project I implemented in Korea This was my proof they did not even look at my application!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I submitted my application in May 2019 at the beginning of the cycle and it obviously wasn't read then. I no longer believe ESSAY is that important, read mine and you will know why. Myths, essay will help them understand where you are coming from, why you weren't a traditional student and helps explain GPA. ( Not iF they aren't reading it to begin with) PAapp2019.pdf 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
