I don't mean to seem jaded or have low form or anything, but I submitted my online application Oct. 1...a friend of mine did his Oct. 29. We both got our August MCATs on the 18th. I got a 30, he got a 29. My GPA is a 3.5, his is a 3.6. He got an interview invite 2-3 weeks after submitting his application, and I've heard nothing.
Any ideas? I thought UC was offering invites by going down numerical stats...and I even busted myself applying as early as I did. It's pathetic of me to feel this way only because my friend got an interview...but another friend with a lower MCAT (his GPA is likely higher than mine) also got an interview. I mean, I'm hurting for some information here
My older brother (a UCMed alumni) even said I should just call and ask "what's the hold-up?" Of course, it would be incredibly boorish to do so. Besides, how am I to judge what criteria they use? But, the idea is floating in my head :/
