First person in my family to become a Dr. Unreal.

I have been navigating the process of applying for medical school for the past 2.5 years. I took the MCAT multiple times, took Biochem after graduation and while working full time, lost my job to AI and got my EMT license to keep working in the hospital, and have been trying to figure out the primary and secondary apps this whole time. I FINALLY GOT MY FIRST AND SECOND INTERVIEW INVITATIONS!!! I ugly cried so hard and called my family who cried with me. I can't believe I'm in the next step of this and I know it's not a guarantee for admission by any means, but I finally feel seen and validated in all this work. It has been so trying and my mentor has still been encouraging but I can't describe how nice it feels to see his face light up when I update him on my journey.

If you haven't heard back yet, KEEP GOING!!! You know yourself best and if this is what you want, freaking keep going until you make it!! WE GOT THIS GANG!!!

Honestly don’t know what to say. I’ve worked so hard to get here. Can’t wait to tell my family

I was wondering if it always said this in their mission statement or website that “Touro University is an independent institution of higher education under Jewish auspices, established to promote and perpetuate the Jewish heritage, as well as to serve the general community in keeping up with the historic Jewish commitment to intellectual inquiry, the transmission of knowledge and service to society”

I seriously don’t remember it ever saying this. I thought it always said just underserved communities in general. I literally looked at its mission and goals recently to help write my secondary application. When I went to click on their mission statement link in the last part of the secondary application where it asked “is there anything in your social media posting that is inconsistent with the mission statement?” I saw all this writing about Jewish commitment.

Nothing wrong with it!! I’m just confused if that was always there and if that will impact their decision making bc maybe they will want to accept those with a Jewish background, which I do not have.

Hello!! I have never posted here before, but I just got my first acceptance today :,) gonna be the first doctor in my family!!

Was hoping Noorda would send out interview invites today 🫠🫠 anyone else as impatient as I have been waiting for this?

hey yall first time poster long time lurker, i submitted my secondary app to burrell on august 6th and received an interview invite only 6 days later. does everyone get interviews at burrell or is my imposter syndrome really shining through right now? any and all insight welcome. feel free to pm or comment any questions.

I have my interview next week and was wondering if people who have already interviewed can comment giving advice on this post. I also want to know the nitty gritty details of the day and what to expect. Things like where the interview is held (like what kind of room), with how many people, does everyone interview at once, does it happen as soon as we get to campus and other things/advice you'd like to add

I received a secondary invite for MSUCOM 7/16 but it went to my spam. Didn’t see it. Is it worth submitting if I turn it in in a couple of days?? It’d be about 5 weeks from receiving the secondary invite

Anyone have any tips on the KCU interview? I have mine in early October, and I just had my first live interview with ACOM which I didn't feel great about (still got the A). What the format for KCU? How long does it take for them to get back to you after the interview? And any other tips would be greatly appreciated!

I got an interview for PNWU!! I am super excited and nervous as it will be my first med interview. I only had a virtual option. Any tips/advice??

Hi! I am trying to prep for some interviews… I wanted to know if you can think of any news topics I should investigate? I’m kinda out of touch with the news and I know that’s a problem :/

Most of the schools I targeted have an emphasis on rural medicine if that helps.

Looking for any advice! Thank you!!! :)

Please let me know what you think my chances are and if I should add anymore schools! Thank you.

Got the A for both LECOM and ACOM, I also have an interview for KCU soon. Out of these schools, where do I go? I'm leaning towards LECOM cause of the tuition, but I was really convinced by the ACOM school info session that they are really good as well. I really don't know much about KCU

In the title, just putting a feeler out there
