For anyone's future reference, both Bay Path and Boise State have said they are OK with Skype interviews.
This morning I got two promotional emails, one from Augustana and one from UNCG - both from their general Admissions team, not the GC folks, but still, coordinate your email lists, don't include people you've already rejected, folks! Sigh.

@snr17  Programs not accredited by the start of school cannot accept a class. Last year, Arizona had interviewed and planned to participate in post match, but they failed to get accreditation in time so they couldn't accept anyone. Usually the program makes the call to drop their applicants sometime in the summer if the program hasn't been accredited yet. Basically, you would never be admitted somewhere that wouldn't qualify you for boards.

Excited to be in the same boat with y'all! I just finished my applications yesterday (applied to 7 total) and now waiting for those interviews!

Emory!

It sounds like you have some amazing advocacy and shadowing experiences. I think applying to schools that will appreciate that is important. There are some schools that will automatically discount you if your gpa is not a certain level, but there are also some schools that will take the whole application into account and interview you before deciding if you would be a good fit. If you did poorly on any prerequisite course (genetics etc) and have a chance to retake them it wouldn’t hurt to redo them in the fall before applying to let them know you are preparing for grad school. Also your personal statement is very important in telling these programs about you so they don’t just see your gpa. If you have any questions don’t be afraid to message me.
