I found out the hard way that no matter how good your stats and EC's are, it is virtually impossible to get into a top 15 med school with absolutely no hospital volunteering/shadowing. I have a near 4.0 GPA and a 39R MCAT with pretty good EC's, and ended the season 0/8 (2 waitlists). I'm gonna do massive amounts of volunteering this year and work as an EMT to beef up my application.
So if anybody's wondering just how important clinical experience is...it's VERY important! Anybody who's reapplying should definitely try to get more clinical experience if they suspect that they might be lacking in this area.
