I told myself I wouldn't post on SDN school-specific threads this year, but I'm just really bummed out about this school tbh.
Last time I applied, I got an interview invite here and made it to the under consideration list, and then eventually the waitlist. I remember so fervently hoping to get in, and bothering the admissions office a frankly upsetting amount for updates, etc etc etc. After the cycle ended, they were kind enough to give me post-WL feedback.
Since then, I have improved my application massively. I took my MCAT score from the low 510s to the 520s, I quintupled my clinical experience, I added research, I wrote my primary and secondary better, submitted everything on Day 1, and added a bunch of other small things such as more commitment to hobbies as well. Maybe this comes off as arrogant, but I felt like since they liked me enough to waitlist me last cycle and my app is way better now, there was no way I wouldn't be a strong candidate here and get an early II.
Well, it's already late October and still nothing. Admittedly, I did get my II later than October last cycle, so it's not like it's impossible that I'll get one, and I don't know how far they are through sending IIs at this point--but every day my chances of getting one get lower and lower
