I had two very early interviews at the beginning of September at Case Western Reserve University (waitlisted) and at the Netter SOM (accepted, yay!), but had silence since then from all other schools. I know how competitive it is to get interviews, but I thought I'd have a chance at least with my alma mater with my experiences and a 3.94 GPA/519 MCAT. My letters of rec are solid, as well. I had accepted that this year was just extra competitive and there were many qualified applicants until a mentor who used to work in admissions reviewed my application and suggested that perhaps something "damaging" had been added to my application by mistake/clerical error after my submission. Does this actually happen?
At this point, I'm set on attending the school I've been accepted to but I'm just really curious if anything like this ever happens and if it's worth looking into.
