Which schools did you apply to ?

 

[Mr.Smile12]

What's different since your first application? Do you have any community service that doesn't involve tutoring? I am guessing your coaching may not be enough for many schools, but I'm not sure why you got an R.

Accumulated hours from my job and volunteering at the hospital. I started a different coaching gig than before submission and hospice volunteering. I have been trying to start volunteering with a local homeless shelter but it has been very slow getting back to me and trying to onboard. Regarding the R, I think I could have done better on the interview.

I am surprised you did not receive more interview with your stats. Post your new MCAT score here when available.

So did your clinical experience go from around 570 completed hours in June 2022 to around 2000+ hours today? That is a big difference and should lead to more interest in your app.

Have trusted eyes review all your written materials as there could be a problem with them as well.

Did you straight up fail to check the boxes last time...maybe something like 0 volunteering? Your application looks great on paper. At this point...either there's a red flag like an IA or bad LoR, or you were simply very unlucky.

I had the non-clinical mentorship and coaching from above. I can not think of anything that would constitute an IA but I will reach out to my previous LOR writers to discuss.

The R from Cincinnati suggests interview issues since they do MMI. How did you prepare? The other lack of responses suggest lack of mission fit but something else might be an issue.

I looked over some suggested common MMI questions and practiced with some other applicants but I do admit that during the actual interview I performed relatively poor.

No longer needed, got off the WL! Thank you all for your help!
