Last year:

13 secondaries
1 interview = waitlist
1 incomplete for some really odd reason(long story)
5 rejections outright at the last possible minute (jan, feb or march depending on the school's deadline).
5 "on holds" then rejections- yuck.

This year:
1 rejection because I'm not WICHE (my bad).
1 secondary I ended up missing the deadline for because I moved and my mom sent it to my old address, so I guess 2 rejections.
1 interview (yay!).
5 I'm still waiting on, fingers crossed.

my status so far:

21 schools sent my AMCAS
17 completed secondaries (at my discretion, no rejections pre-secondary)
7 schools i haven't heard from at all
10 interview invites
8 interviews attended
2 waitlists (1 declined)
1 rejection
4 acceptances

it really does turn out to be a crapshoot, doesn't it?

August MCAT - Submitted stuff a little late (IE october)

15 secondaries submitted
7 interviews (4 complete 3 to go)
1 post secondary rejection (UNC...waste of money as OOS)
0 Acceptances (first chance to hear should be next week...fingers crossed)
6 schools are silent (oddly they are all privates...I've interviewed as an oos at a bunch of state schools)

Hope this helps
