Just found out that my application submission in July never went through. I called 3 times back then and kept being told the system is having issues and it will get updated soon. Now they tell me my application hasn't been verified because I never clicked submit even though I remember that night as clear as I do last night and I submitted my application to 3 schools with the fee waiver. Is there even a point to bother applying now and risking reapplicant status for next year or just wait a cycle and apply next year?
First of all, nobody can ever tell you for sure if you'll get in somewhere or what your chances are. That being said, it is possible to outline generalities in the application process. In order to give any kind of advice more info would be helpful such as GPA, MCAT, LOR, EC's, etc.
most schools use rolling admissions, meaning they fill up seats as they interview. I know many schools are currently giving out interview invitations for December and January. Those interviews could POSSIBLY be for waitlist positions, and not admittance right away.
Bottom line, regardless of your stats, is it possible to submit the primary now and get in somewhere this cycle? absolutely. Is it likely? Not so sure.
Are you wanting to get in to a specific school? Are there things you can do to beef up your application for next cycle? If it were me, I may just find some more classes to take, more docs to shadow, more things that I'm interested in volunteering in, refine and perfect my personal statement and even pre-write secondaries and then apply on the first available day next year.
Honestly, one year won't make that huge of a difference in the long run, but taking the extra time can save you some money, stress, and even get you into a specific school.
PLEASE, take this advice with a grain of salt. Like I said, you could still get in this cycle.
