2021-2022 Application cycle


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I didn't see a post for this year's cycle so I'm super excited to start it. I"m very nervous about applying. Last year I only applied to about 3 schools because I didn't take the GRE. 

My undergrad GPA is very low so I'm stepping out on faith here, but my science gpa, postbacc gpa, and graduate gpa are all at least 3.0. 

Here are my hours: (I tried to overcompensate to offset the low GPA)

PCE: 8,000+ hrs as a Clinical research coordinator and PT aide

Research: 1,720 hrs

Extracurricular: 1,327 hrs 

Volunteer: 686 hrs (including Guatemala medical mission trip)

Shadowing: 100 hrs (dermatology, oncology, hematology, orthopedics, emergency medicine, internal medicine, thoracic surgery, and otolaryngology)

Leadership: 41 hrs

Teaching: 6 hrs

Good luck to everyone!!!!!!!!

Did anyone else receive an open house/information session invite for August 20th for the Knoxville location? Is this something they have done in the past before interviews? 

I also received that invitation. Not sure if they have done in the past, but I did not previously see this open house on their website. Since I specifically received an invite, I feel that it might be important to go if possible!

I recieved an invite but I'm out of state so there's no way I could attend along with flying out to interviews...

I am in the same boat, do you think it's necessary to reach out and let them know we aren't able to? I'm just not sure what the right play is
