Should I send follow emails to the schools I haven’t heard from since submitting my secondaries or is this really a long waiting game? It’s killing me.

Nope, if they want to reach out they will. It’s a long waiting game. The school I’m currently attending I submitted in July and didn’t get an invite until late october.

No. Patience is a virtue. The need for instant gratification is not.

What you should be doing now is working on your application in preparation for another cycle. That means improving whatever gaps you have in your application. Either that or work on Plan B

Speaking of another application cycle, what do people do to improve? I mean, other than perhaps retaking the MCAT, there isn’t enough time to actually train and get a clinical job or even do research because who would train and hire someone who’s clearly just using it to enhance the resume? Post Bacc is super expensive and usually for those who have lower GPA or are changing careers.
Thanks for your input!

Yup, they are. My advice to people is to work, save up some money, and then go full time for either of those programs. This is a marathon, not a sprint.
