"Strangely, It really didn't seem like I was asked any direct questions. This was the only interview I attended where the interviewers had ACTUALLY read and were very familiar with my file. Both of my interviewers just asked for clarification about me. One interviewer talked more about herself and her life than about me! It was extremely laid back and conversation."

About the LizzyM Score

LizzyM, SDN Moderator and medical school admissions committee member, is the inventor of the LizzyM Score. The score allows you to see if you are a competitive applicant at a given school. If your LizzyM Score is far below or above the average, you may not be a good fit. If your score is far below, your application may be screened out due to numerical cutoffs. If it is far above, the school may assume they are your “safety” school and that you won’t attend if they offer an acceptance. This score should be used only as a guide to help you select schools and is not a guarantee of acceptance at any school. If you use this as your sole criteria to select medical schools to apply to, you don’t deserve to get in anyway.
