<p>SO we had to turn in the honors program letter in order to be considered for the med program? Crap, I got into the honors program but I didn't know we had to send in that letter....that's probably why I got rejected, I have similar stats to all of you.</p>
<p>no u didnt have to cuz i didnt reply to the honors program letter.</p>
<p>k, but what are you stats? what are any of your stats who got an interview? I didn't think i was that unqualified, so I just wanted to compare.</p>
