So, I'm wanting to hear some feedback from those who got interviews/acceptances very late in the cycle (Jan-July). I started this app cycle with gpa in the 3.5 range but low MCAT (20Q). I've retaken the MCAT but no score back yet. I'm on hold pretty much everywhere I've applied because of this. I know I'm not the only one in this position. But it would be encouraging to hear from those who were stuck waiting until the last minute. What did you do to get an interview this late in the game? I already know my chances are slim so I need to hear from those who pulled out a miracle near the end. :xf: Thanks!
