1. The average GPA for a student applying to Rosalind Franklin has 3.42 Science GPA and a 3.52 Cumulative GPA. The median incoming GPA is 3.79 and the average MCAT is a 508. This is fairly good news because my GPA is arguable the weakest part of my application, and their median is comparably low. This is partially due to the fact that I am double majoring in biology and Chemistry. I will be taking the MCAT May 14th. I am a decent test taker so I think that I should be able to score are that score with enough preparation.
2. The residencies in which students get matched are Anesthesiology 8%, Emergency Medicine 13%, Family Practice 5%, Internal Medicine 18%, OBGYN 4%, Orthopedic Surgery 4%, Pediatrics 11%, Psychiatry 3%, Diagnostic Radiology 9%, General Surgery 6%, Unreported 19%. These numbers show fairly high specialty percentages. In …show more content…

As a matter of policy, admissions staff are unable to discuss the details of the interview process. Applicants who are invited to interview will receive an email with a detailed description of their interview day.” From my research I can see that around 5-10% of applicants are interviewed. About the “multiple mini interview format,” the most I found was that it was similar to a speed dating format. You constantly switch through many different interviewers with some time for each question. To be completely honest, I do not like this format. It doesn’t allow for the interviewer to see the true character of the prospective
