CONGRADU****INGLATIONS!

No seriously, I am very excited for you. I also thank you for your (albeit brief) synopsis of the interview. I am also a student (but of psychology) that wishes to pursue medical career some time after graduation (and requirements completed) and just again want to say thank you for throwing some information on here.

I was thinking through your first post how similar neurology is to electrical things, because there can be shorts, failures, gaps, and that since it's a relatively new branch of medicine there are a ton of developing procedures for neurological problems (taking animal nerve cells, typically with tremendous axons, and implanting them into human thighs). Even if you don't go into neurology, I wish you severe luck!

*ahem* What school were you accepted to?

And about the whole experience and related major thing, I was told (by a couple doctors I spoke with on the subject) experience isn't *necessary* but it's good to have to show you aren't looking solely for money and glory, and majors are totally irrelevant -- so long as you have applicable course work. My PCP had a friend in college that was an art major, and he was accepted to ALL medical schools (more than a dozen) he applied to.

I was accepted by Ross University School of Medicine in Dominica (It's an island in the Caribbean) and now I am preparing for my next interview coming up in less then a week. You're quite welcome for the information since you are considering going into the medical field have you taken your MCATs yet?

No, not even close. I have not yet finished the material covered by the MCATS (I am halfway through Bio, still need to do everything else)

Congradulations again on Ross University School of Medicine

Where else have you applied? Like are you sticking to a particular region of the world?

I'm trying to stick close to home I have applied to Wayne State and Michigan State as well as colleges in Ohio

So then I take it that Ross is quite a bit away lol <33

Well good luck! Keep us posted if you can!

Ross is in Dominica which is in the Caribbean (Near Puerto Rico) and yes it is far away. My next interview is tomorrow and it is with a school I want to go to. So I'm just preparing as best as I can and hopefully I nail the interview well enough so that they accept me

I wish you the best of luck -- hopefully you won't need it -- and keep us updated

How long after an interview do you find out if they accept you?

I had my second interview today and it went well (this is just my opinion) . At any rate the medical school I interviewed with today stated that they would give me a decision by the end of April. Now it is time to relax (a little) and spend more time here lol:
