You submitted 115 secondaries. 😳
You might still get an acceptance. Hold on for awhile but you could start editing and changing up PS and essays. Relook at your list and start cutting schools off of it. @Ultravox Vienna is probably correct. No matter how good you are at writing, there isn’t really any way you could do an excellent-outstanding job on 115+ secondaries. You should seriously cut your list by 80 schools leaving you with 35. And even that’s too many. And now, unfortunately, you are a reapplicant at all of those schools.
Hopefully you’ll get accepted off one of those waitlists. Good luck.

Ah well if you need to apply again, do it more targeted for your own sanity. You'll also write better this way.

i'll echo everyones comments on the huge number of applications and that you should edit your writing. However, what i bolded is critical. Its of no use to get II if you bomb the interviews (especially given that you recognize the issue). Most undergrads have a career center which can give you practice interviews that may help. It could also be helpful if ppl you know who recently applied and got in could do a mock interview if they remember questions. In addition, any mentors you have (whether it be faculty or med students) ask them if they could also do mock interviews so you can really see what your weaknesses are. Its also sometimes helpful to film these so you can see if you come off as awkward or insecure or too confident etc. .
also see if any of the schools can give you feedback on your app
good luck and hopefully you can avoid all that if one of your other schools gives you good news
