27R, 3.96 overal, 3.92 BCPM.
I applied to 10 schools. Got secondaries from all except Wake Forest.
6 interviews -- but withdrew 3 of them before I heard anything one way or the other.
2 acceptances. (Penn State and MCW)
1 decision still pending. (Indiana)
Withdrew all applications except MCW and IU.
At each interview I was asked about my low MCAT. Basically I told them that I wasn't in the position to make excuses for myself and was not going to do it. I accepted that I scored lower than what I expected and was disappointed, however, I still wanted to pursue admission this cycle. I feel like the MCAT can be overrated (except for the top 20s where you're dealing with very small differences between matriculants in terms of stats and other achievements), especially on SDN. My advice is to keep working hard in your classes, start your personal statement as early as possible (and like I've said before, write from the heart -- adcoms know when you're BSing them), revise your personal statement, revise again, revise one more time, start on your LOR's early, and get all of the AMCAS stuff done ASAP. My personal feeling is that LOR's might be more important than what some people think. Almost all of my interviewers have said how strong my LOR's where and I really think that was a key to my acceptances. Anyways, back to the topic at hand, don't sell yourself short. The MCAT is not the end-all-be-all that some people insist. Yes, the MCAT is important, but it's only ONE of MANY factors. Besides, patients don't know (or care) what your MCAT score is...maybe we should focus more on the people skills than knowledge of sciences that really have no impact on our careers as physicians (..I'm pretty sure my doctor has never discussed vaccuum filtration, electron orbital theory, or the golgi apparatus with any of his patients...).
