I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone good luck. The advice that's been offered thus far, particularly by Doktor Mom (p.1), has been outstanding. If I could have one "do-over" it'd be that I would have saved considerable time and money by not applying to so many AMCAS schools. I was so freaked out about the stats for those applying to med school (~60% not getting an offer) that I decided to cast a very, very wide net. I knew I'd choose Texas for the value but was still anxious. I applied as a traditional candidate with a very high GPA and exceptional ECs from a top school, but my MCAT was average. I ultimately interviewed at all 7 TX publics, prematched at 6, and received a post-match acceptance from the other. I realize they say hindsight is 20-20, but I wish I wouldn't have been so neurotic. All of the energy spent completing AMCAS secondaries was senseless. Yes, I did receive a few AMCAS interviews/acceptances; however. Like DoktorMom said, most AMCAS schools realized I was solid enough to get in to a TX school and knew it was unlikely I'd pay the additional $50K/year (COA).
