•Yo Freak, I can't beleive that you got rejected from Loma Linda! You have good MCAT scores and a great GPA. What other schools have you gotten into? I was thinking of Loma Linda was not so hard to get into, but from looking at your story, it seems harder than I thought to get in.•••••I think that most of my problem was that I wasn't SDA or any Christian demonination. I hate God for the most part and it showed through in my rampant use of drugs and alcohol while completing my LLUSOM secondary application. Seriously though, they like people who demostrate Christian principles and thus rejected me. I also put that I used drugs and alcohol recently (Honesty is not the best policy). Why they waited so long to reject me, I have no idea.
In the grand scheme of things, my numbers aren't that better than any other applicant. I have interviewed at SLU, MCP, NY Med, Tulane, Temple, and Univ of Nevada. Waitlisted at Temple, accepted at Nevada, no word from any of the others (decisions should come within 2 weeks at this point). Good luck y'all.
