<p>^GAMom, you should write like this all the time! It gives each word weight, very Kung Fu Master-like :).</p>
<p>On my phone so can’t see the earlier post but the 4-6 interviews is pretty spot on. Of my 23 apps I got 9 interview invites, went to 6 and got 2 acceptances, 2 wait lists that I didn’t stay on and 2 rejections.</p>
<p>I follow this forum because I will be helping my nephew apply to med school in a few short years.</p>
<p>I think the question that I want to ask the OP is, in what way do you think your application will stand out positively in the sea of applications that med schools receive?</p>
<p>Imagine it this way (obviously not how it is done, but just by way of an illustration):</p>
<p>The admissions office opens each application and does an initial sort based only on GPAs and MCAT score, according to whatever floor it has established. Does your application meet the initial screen? </p>
<p>If yes, your application is put in a packet of about three dozen applications. All applications to the school are put in packets of three dozen applications.</p>
<p>The admissions committee is permitted to choose only the best single application from each packet. How does your application stack up in comparison to all the others? </p>
<p>Now, consider that the caliber of the applications to the programs you want to apply to are going to be the very strongest in what is already a very deep pool of chronic overachievers. How do you compare?</p>
<p>The posters here are trying to politely give you a reality check, and advice on how to strengthen your application. But you don’t seem to like advice that gets in the way of what you want and how and when you want it. Right now you should be worrying about getting all of the small things right (e.g., every single grade, taking the right classes in the proper sequence, getting opportunities for shadowing and research, impressing professors to earn quality LORS) so that when it comes time for you to apply you will be able to assess your realistic options…which may or may not include the programs you would like to attend because of the financial aspects.</p>
