Hey guys! My stats- 3.78 GPA, ~3.67ish sGPA, 515 MCAT. Countless clinical hours, lots of crisis counseling, research and an honors thesis under my belt.
Just like many of us this cycle has been rough on me. I applied to 15 schools, and I’m from FL so a large chunk of that was my state schools and a few reaches. I had 3 interviews to state schools and heard back from 2 of them- waitlisted from both. I thought both interviews went SO well, and was incredibly shocked. Moreover, I am an alum from one of the schools, and it’s far from the most competitive school in FL, so I feel way less confident in my app now. The good thing is I feel I have a very good chance of getting off a waitlist because I was added quite early.
I know so many applicants with the same stats as me have fewer or no II, but I am getting so stressed and feel conflicted. I know it’s VERY late, but would it benefit me to add a few low-tier schools with Nov deadlines, or would that just be more of a donation to schools than any chance of acceptance?
I have considered applying DO since I understand their deadlines are different than ours, but I still have some faith in that I will be able to get off these waitlists so I’m just not sure. I have one pre-II deferral, and have yet to hear back from some 8 schools for II.
WWYD? I appreciate all advice, and more than everything probably just need some reassuring words lol. Thanks!
