Your determination is certainly something to be respected. Do you mind my asking what your stats are? What do you think your weaknesses were?
I have an mdapps link near my icon for a reason, the only thing incorrect on there is my MCAT which my real numbers are at the Mercer average. My scores can't be that bad since I've been waitlisted at MCG for two years in a row.
First year I was told by an interviewer that because I am LGBT they can't accept me. Against my better judgement and at the insistence of one of my rabbis whose son went to Mercer SOM, I applied again.
This time the concern was that I didn't have enough ties to Georgia despite the fact I have lived here for 15 years, two of my grandparents live here, my father lives here, my daughter was born here and attends schools, I own property here as does my mother, I've started businesses here, I vote here, car registered here, I pay Georgia taxes, and my synagogue with all my rabbis is here. Sorry for not being born here but I can't control where my parents were when they had me. I was waitlisted.
There was also a concern that I didn't take Biochemistry which when I was in undergrad that was a graduate ONLY level course. You simply could not get into the class. And in my graduate school they didn't offer biochem in my department, nor did they offer it at the school I did my post-bacc in. Now I now know where I could get the biochem class online but I literally have no idea if Mercer would take it.
I was told I have bad luck.
Obviously I didn't suck at the interview as I just did a mock interview with someone and they said I was very good at being interviewed, which I would hope so given I've been on 6 MD interviews, 1 DO interview, and used to give interviews for a living!
