Would love adcom insight on this @Goro @gyngyn @LizzyM @gonnif @Faha and others-
Do schools that claim they have an MCAT blind interview selection process really mean that? this is only anecdotal, but I'm a reapplicant and am applying with a substantially higher score this year than last year, and have been getting more love from the same schools that turned me down last year even though they were supposedly MCAT blind both years.
My GPA is the exact same, my extracurriculars haven't changed, no new LORs, no new anything except for a higher MCAT. I would obviously expect to see this at schools that did not claim they were MCAT blind, but I'm noticing the same trend even among schools who claimed an MCAT blind selection processes for this cycle and last cycle. Just was curious to see people's thoughts on this and whether the claim of an MCAT blind review process was actually true or just a feel-good empty promise so schools didn't receive backlash for not supporting applicants. Thoughts?
