I have had all my exit interviews and I wanted to ask any reapplicants what they thought.
At a "top 25" school I was told that it was "outrageous" that I was not at the very least waitlisted, if not accepted at their school.
My MCAT was above ave. to ave. and my interview scores were nearly the maximum. I also apparently received a fantastic score from a doctor who is notoriously rough/negative on students.
I had average community service and clinical exposure and tons (4+yrs) of research. I also applied as a disadvantaged applicant.
After talking to the dean for 10 mins, he said he felt that the school had dropped the ball in my case, especially b/c I was a disadvantaged applicant with obvious, documented adversity. He told me that I should post-bacc, not full time if I didn't want to and to shadow one last time - and that was it. He then told me I should update him monthly on my status and call him before my interview.
If I do what I'm told, do you think that I will be accepted? This school is by far my first choice.
