Hi,
I created a new name to remain anonymous. I have a 3.9/34 non-URM with loads of research, a few publications, virtually unlimited amount of hours in hospital experience paid/non-paid and non-health types of volunteering since entering college.
I paid a professional to write my essay. I reviewed it, everything look good. I haven't gotten any interviews this semester and I know a lot of the schools I applied to are still interviewing. I was considering sending letters of intent, but everyone sends those, and I feel it's not going to make me stand out.
I was thinking that maybe I should ask my dad so I can get seats. He has a lot of connections, but wanted me to pull through on my own. If my dad makes a few phone calls, and I get accepted at a few schools what's the deadline for deciding on a single school?
Also, please don't advise me to apply to DO training programs or off-shore medical schools (yes I know those places take people late in the year and it's not really my kind of environment, if you catch my drift--plus my dad will give me ****, rightfully so). I think my stats earned me the right to aspire high.
Thanks in advance for your advice!
