Whenever I am feeling good about myself I like to go into the Pre Allo forum and look at the MDApplicant profiles until I feel like a complete f*ck up and want to slash my wrists. But I'll skip that part and go to the question.
I see some profiles of kids who have >3.8 gpa's with high 30"s MCAT scores and volunteer, research, shadowing, etc. How do they get rejected "post interview" from a lot of these schools? I know schools look at other things than just grades, but to be flat out rejected when your numbers and EC's are like some of the ones I see, just seems crazy. Makes me feel like I have NOOOOOOOOOO chance. I know that is not true, and I will NEVER stop working until I get in somewhere. Then it's just smooth sailing and nothing but partying all the time.
I am sure this has been covered before, and I am totally serious when I ask this. I am not trying to be funny or anything.
