What were your MCAT subsection breakdowns?

I am an ORM, applied late, had slightly higher MCAT and gpa than you, not as much research, but worked throughout undergrad (the rest of my app was comparable to yours). Foster was the only MD school I heard back from.

Seems like we are on the same boat....but couple of questions: In what ways are we similar on the rest of the app and what does "applied late" mean in your terms?

Submitted secondaries on the deadline. Most of my ECs (leadership, volunteering, publication, awards, hobbies, etc) were different, but I had a comparable amount, and over a long period of time. I would like to remain as anonymous as possible, so that is the extent of how much I will share.

Early application and good essays perhaps will get you interviews at Foster, A&M and Lubbock.
