All i can say is this process is emotional draining. Especially if you don't have a 3.9/ 42 ; (3.6ovr/3.7bcmp/ mid twenties)like myself and alot of others around. I am so drained and bumbed out that i have no idea what i'm gonna do. I intervied we jersey and fell in love with the school. My interview went really good, and the result was a nice spot on the waitlist. Now i'm in a real bind, i don't know what to do. I called up my schools but i'm on so many hold list. One school even told me i was rejected, and than asked if i still wanted the rejection letter in the mail. That was just the icing on the cake for me. I just wanted to know if ne one else was in my boat. Just the thought of taking the mcat again is depressing enough. anyone else going through this or went through this, is nice to hear your stories.

Is it a typo or did you really get a 42 on MCAT? If you got 42, why are even considering taking it again? 😕 😕 . I am sorry, I don't mean to upset you, but your score caught my attention. 😳

I know this process can be a bummer. I have very good stats and still haven't gotten an acceptance yet (two waitlists and a delayed decision; hearing from BU this week). I am just going to keep praying and trust that God has the right place waiting for me (I know, easier said than done--sometimes I have trouble doing that too). I have a feeling He is using some of this to teach me patience. Hang in there, and all the best to you!

OOPS!! my mistake. 😳 😳

i had the same reaction, how could you even think of retaking a 42?!??!

to OP, 24 is kind of on the low side, even with a 3.9. did you apply DO?

good luck!!
 
This process is challenging and a lot of people share your frustration. Try to stay positive. At least you are waitlisted at a school that you like. Focus on staying in touch with the school by update letters. Maybe you have a good shot at getting accepted there? And if that happens you will have spent a lot of time worry for nothing.

I'm still battling for my first acceptance also. Two waitlists so far. Two more schools interviewed me and not gotten back to me yet. The only thing that has helped me stay sane is doing other stuff (work out, read non medical books, learn how to cook, watch football). It has helped me to take my mind off that which I can't control.

thats what I thought it said too - and I had even finished writing a nasty reply about how the OP was an obvious troll.... but then I reread the original post (and realized I'd wasted another minute or two of my life)
