Has anyone ever gotten into every school that he or she applied to? Certainly not me, that's for sure...

I guess EDP applicants would 🙂.

Outside of that, I want to meet this mythical creature if they have applied to more than 3-4 and got into all.

Whats an EDP applicant? and I doubt everyone that applies to top schools get into every single med school they apply to

Early Decision Program. You get to apply to only one school, and you hear from them before October 1st. If you get in, you are obligated to attend there. If you don't, then you can apply to other schools.

I was just wondering, because it seems like even the top students that are in the top 1% of everything get rejected from a few schools.

Unless you got into HMS, WUSTL or UCSF, it would suck as you would have undershot.

True. I know someone who got into Harvard, Hopkins & UCSD, etc but who didn't even merit an interview at U Washington (being oos sunk his chances).

I know a guy who applied to 10 MD/PhD programs (9 were in the USNews top 10), his only rejection was from UCSF which accepted him for MD-only.

EDIT: I should also add that he accomplished this while wearing a sport coat and khakis to his interviews instead of a suit, and that he had never done a minute of volunteer work in his life.

MD/PhD is a whole different animal. We don't even let the applicants mingle together in the same room. The review process is different, the interview teams are different and the grounds for admission decisions is different.
