Keep it up guys... I have been fortunate enough to receive IIs to nearly all schools that I submitted secondaries to (12 MD and 9 DO) and only 2 rejections. 7, 10, 10 MCAT, 3.79 cGPA, 3.9 sGPA, great ECs and LoRs. Don't let all of the hype get the better of you. It is possible with help from others and a lot of determination on your part. It seems to me many schools are actually following through with the holistic look they advertise. Good luck everyone!!

Congratulations! Please don't get offended because I'm just trying to gauge my chances, but are you an URM?
What makes you think wannabadoc2 is URM?...and why do you think your question might be offensive that you have to be very defensive?

No offense taken. I'm a disadvantaged applicant (come from a family that heavily depended on assistance) and am a non-trad. with excellent life experiences and pretty solid medical experiences. I think the main successes have been in "branding" myself through my applications and researching schools that would value my experiences / brand and being selective in where I apply.
Thank you for the reply! That gives me a lot of hope since we are both from similar backgrounds and have below average MCAT scores.
We're in the same boat with similar stats. I'm guessing you're not URM?
I wasn't going to bring my hopes up for MD, but I still applied to ~12 schools in my range. An ii or two would be cool, but unlikely I think.

Thanks Mr. Wonderful, you give me hope! Do you mind me asking when you were completed for most schools? Just wanna gauge where my standing is right now.

I was completed very early. I tried to get every secondary turned around in 1-2 days. I had most schools done by July and early August for the late schools that hadnt sent out secondaries yet
That's good to hear. Congrats to you!
+1
29 MCAT, GPA 3.2-3.4, 5 MD interview invites and 3 DO IIs with 1 DO acceptance, non-URM (Columbian, which is a non-URM hispanic in MD apps).
Anything is possible guys 👍

Congrats!!!!
Prefer not to say schools until the end of the cycle. Mix of Low tier and mid-low tier.
As for ECs, they're not necessarily crazy, but helped in a big way I'm sure. I also applied to ~30 schools.
Wow, that's amazing!! Congratulations! I guess there really is some hope!

Ive said it a million times: show each school that youre a good fit for them and numbers only mean so much
2 MD interview invites 1.5 months ago, absolutely nothing since. I wonder if this is all I'm going to get?

I bet you get a few more come January
lol, little ole me still only has one II, even after ~2 months since being completed at most of them :3. Those with 1+ are my heroes 🙂

This thread is much more encouraging compared to the rest of SDN. 27 MCAT and 3.8 GPA hoping to get an MD interview. Hopefully I applied to some schools who are willing to look past the numbers! Anyone get asked in their interview about their lower MCAT score?
2 ii's so far: 1 DO, 1 MD, and I consider my stats pretty cruddy compared to most of you!
c3.45, s3.55 and 25 MCAT (6p/10v/9b).
And I should mention I'm not URM or considered "disadvantaged". Nontraditional with significant "life experiences", and a solid 1.5 years working in the ER. BUT....no research what-so-ever.
There IS hope 😉

29 here. I have received 2 IIs so far, both in the past 5 days with one from my IS school. For one of them, I haven't submitted my secondary yet...so I'm hoping that's a pretty good sign!
WAT. You got an interview without a secondary? What the hell, tell me your secrets!
3.7/29, 1 DO interview and no others 🙁
I have a 3.8/29 and I had 9 DO interview invites out of 15 DO applications. I'm not a URM, not disadvantaged, and I have crappy extracurricular activities even by real world, non-SDN standards. Hang in there.
Can you share all your stats? ECs, uGPA, gGPA? I'm impressed and curious what makes you stand out!

Yeah I was complete at MD schools at the end of July/early August and I was complete at DO schools by September. My acceptance was from a DO and I am non-URM.
Good luck!

3.64 cGPA 3.82 sGPA, 28 MCAT
Received my retake back today and received a 28 (8PS/10VR/10BS) which while not phenomenal it is significantly better then my first score of 25 (6PS/10VR/10BS).
I am still a little nervous about how this cycle will go, My applications will now come off hold for review. So I am very hopeful that I get some interviews, this thread has certainly given me hope that it may be possible! Just nervous about how late it is for schools to start reviewing my application
