You da MVP tho @_@ May I ask how you managed to get accepted with those stats?

I'm a URM. My application shows commitment to returning to my community to practice, including my personal statement and activities. And the school's mission statement aligns perfectly with my goals.

I wish everyone the best of luck this cycle!

LizzyM ~67 (Non-URM)
I only applied MD and was verified very early.
Secondaries completed (All within 2 days of receiving): 18
Interview Invites: 9
Holds: 1
Rejections: 3

Hoping for some acceptances this week!!

Updating since it's close to the end of the cycle.

Ended up with 12 IIs resulting in 7 acceptances and 2 waitlists. Will most likely withdraw from both waitlists. I would have never thought my cycle would go so well. Much of my success is due to SDN and the advice of its members.
 
LizzyM 67.8
Non-URM, CA resident

LizzyM: 58
Schools: 45ish MD and DO
II: 15
Accepted:5 (I only attended my first 5 interviews due to funds)

* Don't get hung up on your LizzyM. Although I got rejected pre interview at newer DO schools, I got II from schools like UCLA and Columbia. Don't limit yourself due to your LizzyM...granted the rest of your app is fire*
If you had some kind of massive Grade swing, that could have done it.
