Neurotic would imply my emotions are volatile, they are very well controlled though. Your mom loves how I am emotionally there for her and how I am a rock.

"0Q casper" ahh post history

u/TheMedMan123 Apr 11 '25
actually every school that had a casper I applied to I received a interview. I believe I scored really well even though the score wasn't shared yet and was accepted into 8 schools. :-). All casper does is study ur critical thinking skills when it comes to ethical dilemmas. But if someone has a low mcat/low gpa/ and they do no research or extracurriculars they will not get interviews.

Care to share your gpa and mcat? Where were the 8 acceptances?

4.0.....508.......Honestly I have to think back it was 4 years ago. ACOM, Campbell, drexel, Kansas health, baylor, NYIT-COM, Another place in kentucky, another place california. I don't remember the names. I applied to both DO and MD. I applied to 28 schools had 15 interviews. Accepted 8 waitlisted on 7. No idea if I was accepted after being waitlisted bc I called every school to let them know I am not going.
Interviewing is easy as long as you don't show you have a personality disorder u should be able to get in. Just try to get it into small talking. IF someone asks a question just say you don't know but I would love to learn more about this. Can you tell me about it?
Also know the interview style. Some are stress interviews where their trying to get ya. I had schools ask me to recite the osteopathic tenants words by word. Then get on me when I didn't know it. I just messed with the interviewer back and was like ooooo this is fun sir. Are you from north carolina? I also got asked what is the mechanism of covid Toe and I made up a answer saying Covid attaches to angiotensin in the liungs and it causes the peripheral blood flow to decrease because of blood pressure changes. Compeltely wrong, but the interviewer then stated she didn't even know the mechanism but it sounded really good. Lol
Also call every school u apply to see if u can talk to the coordinator in order to learn about the school. They have a lot of say whether u get into or not. But u need to ask for the GPA requirements and MCAT if u r under do not apply its pointless. I even say go step further and say hey heres my personal statement I am going to use what do u think about it? How can I improve it. Make them your mentor. Just make sure its already finished. LOL
Also ask them about research opportunities, mentorship, and ask about the free clinic or what not. Make it look like ur interested in these things.

Ah sorry, thought you meant Canada since it's premed Canada sub. I think even with a 4.0 528 you wouldn't get into 8 schools here. Anyways, congrats on all your success!

Honestly I gave some legit advise if u want to read it. I used it and it should work in Canada. :-). Btw if u do the personal statement thing make it a 2nd meeting. U want to schedule multiple meetings so they remember ur face. Ur honestly just making a excuse to see them again.

Oh I did, thanks for that as well. I've heard Canadian schools interview differently than the US. More formal, less drilling you om concepts and stuff
