I took my MCAT late, submitted my primary first week or August.....took a month to process my primary....submitted all secondaries on deadlines (oct to december)...and only apply to cali schools and 10 other top schools (because I want to stay in cali....personal reasons)
some background-
Undergrad school - one of the top UCs
Science GPA 3.7
Total GPA 3.9
MCAT V7, PS13, BS12 (English is my 4th language)
A year of clinical volunteer
3 years of research ( doing my honors thesis as undergrad and took a year off working in a reasearch lab at a UC)
Other leadership work
Leadership awards.
I received secondaries from all the schools and got interviews from only three - David geffen, Duke and Suny. Interviewed late in March. Still waiting to hear from suny and UCLA.
I don't have any hope of getting in this year so I am preparing to re-apply.
My big questions is did I apply too late or is it my verbal score or something else ( weak personal statement....i know i didn't write much about it)
