Heh, just wondered if it was a disadvantage to applying when you are still young (18/19).
Myself, I just turned 19, and after submitting secondaries to 48 schools (That's right, forty-eight), I've been rejected by 31 of them, haven't heard back at all from ten, and interviewed at 9 (one MSTP, woo), and I don't have in my hand a single bloomin' acceptance.
Cali resident (going to UCI still, neurobio major), 11 B, 11 V, 10P, P writing, april MCAT, 3.7 cum, 3.8 non-sci, 3.6 sci. General, nothing special EC's: Five years of clinical volunteer work, two of research (no bloody pubs yet), ACLS and BLS certification, three leadership positions, and other crap.
Now my stats aren't stellar and nothing screams all that special, but 48 schools? Hell, somewhere shoulda shown me a bit of faith. Secondaries on average were complete September as well. Meh, just ramblin' on, don't mind me all that much, heh...
