Has anyone got accepted to any medical school in California? I heard it is a lot more difficult to get into one because everyone applies there. Do I have a chance with a GPA of 3.71?
Friend #2: 29 MCAT, 3.5 GPA, no publications, loud and loves talking about himself --> UCI, UCD acceptances
3.71 is a great GPA.
bagel, did your friend w/ the 29 have any crazy etcs or well written PS/secondaries?

He lived in south africa when he was younger and was a nontrad (only in the working world for 1 year though before doing pre-med) but those are the only really unique things. I think he's just a good writer and he can really pump up his strengths in his writing. His personal statement was written in a conversational tone and he kept it fresh and snappy. Other than that, I really can't believe it either. *jealous*
