Ok so I've noticed quite a few of you guys have already gained acceptances to medical school. My DO letters were just sent out today and this is the last thing that the schools need to complete my file. Do you consider this late in the game? I mean, i have a competitive GPA but my MCATS arent so hot.....so as the months go by are they just oging to be looking at students with better stats? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
My file wasn't complete until January last year and I received 4 interviews. Don't worry, you're not late.
 
Suzy Q:

I would not sweat it that much! As you may know, my file was complete at 11 schools since early July, and I have only just started recieving more interviews (LECOM on 11/11 that I got today and I did not even mail in my DO letter of rec!). Good luck!
It will work it out!
