No not concerning yet. You’ll get an email for all of these sending IIs. When did you submit! I had a similar LM last cycle and didn’t get in anywhere so don’t expect IIs.

Moved to WAMC forums.

It is too early, though you did apply to a tad bit fewer schools. It is difficult to say without knowing the rest of your application how competitive you are, but adding WUSTL, Iowa, Miami, and Jefferson might be a good idea.

Received secondary from all the schools. They were submitted within the 2 weeks of receiving it. UCSF was the last one submitted mid august. Others were all submitted by end of July and received cofirmation

Research heavy (~3k hours), 500 clinical hours, ~400 non-clinical activities(community service, teaching etc.)

Besides a very top heavy list I think it’ll pan out okay. I would only worry if you have no II by Xmas

@MasterOogway Did you mean someone with similar stats did not get any acceptances in the last cycle?

@MasterOogway Did you mean, someone with similar stat did not get in in the last cycle?

yea me. I had a similar MCAT but much higher GPA. Had great experiences but my writing was not as good as it could have been. I worked on it a lot and met with adcoms and have had much better success thus far.

We don't have your AMCAS, nor do we have a WAMC profile on you (where are you an in-state resident, what goal are you pursuing to strike a research/community balance?). There's no way to predict what an admissions committee thinks, but how you answered your application questions (which may include any situational judgment or recorded video interview questions) could affect the perception of your mission fit. The top-notch schools turn down many high metrics applicants, and they all can't be poor writers... but they could have been less clear about their mission fit or purpose as a physician.
