@TheMadScientist_AZ I feel like I recall you stating on another thread that you completely re-wrote your personal statement...perhaps you would have some insight with respect to that?

What is a "decent MCAT?" What is a "good GPA?" Those are pretty subjective, and ballpark numbers would give us some better advice. But I would add in some DO schools for your next cycle

this is strange. I would have garnered that since applying early, you would have had an excellent chance. Kind of scares me 🤔 Did you not ask the schools what was wrong?

Do you have anyone IRL who can review your application? Red flags I can think of are:
- bad LOR
- bad ECs (which you seem to realize you might have?)
- poorly written PS, activities
For sure you could improve interview skills but your application:interview ratio is not very good. Without knowing what your ECs are, it's hard to say if it's worth waiting. If they were actually okay, maybe improve the writing and make sure your LORs are good and apply this year. If ECs are the weak point, you'll want to wait.
