Found these boards yesterday and obsessively spent some time pouring over them (hey, I'm a premed..).
Anyway, I have a question. I have my one and only interview at UWash Feb 20th (only applied to one med school this year). I got pregnant my sophomore year, and as a result took an extra year to graduate. Still have decent grades and MCAT (3.6, 35R), but with UW weighting the interview 50% do I have a chance at all with very few ECs? Is having a kid (3 years old now) and working full time enough of an EC?
Thought appreciated, thanks.

Edit to say - no working until after graduating, have a hobby (polymer clay), but no volunteer/ hospital exp
