Hello!
I just wanted to possibly give people some hope and let you know that you don't have to be a perfect applicant to get into medical school. I submitted 14 primaries + secondaries around October/November and I think a couple even in December. I ended up with 4 II's, attended 3 of them, and got As to all 3 schools. I submitted "late" because I was convinced I would not get in anywhere with my sub 500 MCAT and was just going to retake and reapply next cycle. However, the thought of having to MCAT study again and prolong the process even more made me want to throw up, so I took a shot in the dark. I don't necessarily recommend anyone does what I did, but I'm glad and relieved it all worked out. I hope this shows that it is possible to get in somewhere even if you feel like you don't have a chance.
Stats - MCAT: 497 sGPA: 3.6 cGPA: 3.78
