Ok so I am a Biomedical Science major in Texas. Have a 3.505 cGPA and 3.52 sGPA and 32Q MCAT score, first time. I applied early and got 4 interviews relatively early in the season, but the pre-match date has come and gone and I have yet to receive a single offer from any school!!
EC's:
Trained as EMT-Basic (~120 hours total: 48 EMS hours, 16 L&D hours, 8 Psych ward hours, 48 ER hours, etc)
Nearly completed EMT-Paramedic training (~400 hours total: 108 ER hours, 16 L&D hours, 8 NICU hours, 16 ICU hours, 8 Heart Station hours, 8 Respiratory Therapy hours, 8 Cardiac Cath Lab Hours, 24 OR hours, 192 EMS hours, can start IV's, perform endotracheal intubations, administer meds (such as narcotics), can push drugs, can interpret EKG's, etc, anything a paramedic would be expected to do
Two semesters of community service org: basically helped drunk ppl get home from the local bars/parties
Took a free WMD course sponsored by homeland security dept
Have worked as an EMT for better part of 3 years while doing undergrad
etc.
Good LOR according to my premed advisor
approx 70 hours shadowing a neurosurgeon
I felt like my first interview didn't go so good but I thought second one went great! and the last two were alright-well. Second interviewer at second school actually ended the interview after going over time by telling me that he "felt like I would make a great fit there"
Am I just screwed for pre-match offers and likely not to get anything during the match either? I don't know if I just interview badly or what
