Anyone with decent gpa's (3.5ish) and mcats 27 or 28 get any interviews. If so did, which schools were they at (MD ones only plz) and is there anything special about your app like URM or years off

You should get a copy of the MSAR and read it. The average MCAT of medical school matriculants is 29, and GPA is 3.55. Assuming a normal distribution of MCAT scores, then half of all acceptees will have a 29 or lower, and half will have a 29 or higher. Despite what you read on SDN, a 28 really isnt that bad. The actual distribution is skewed to the right, but you can still count on an acceptance or two with average stats assuming you're not a complete tool and apply to a wide variety of schools (read: not just top 20).

3.6 GPA from Emory, 28R and interviews at Univ of WA and Tulane. Have had 2 yrs off working in africa for 6 mos and then running a clinical lab here in the states. I think you'll be fine. high 20s is a fine score.
