People come so close to acceptance every year. I believe that the few near missed ones should be accepted for matriculation in the following year. In the mean time, VCU could let them get involved (with the school) in a meaningful activities eg post bac, research
etc. Make the most out of the current left over now, and VCU will not have to deal with them anymore. Besides, people might want to apply to the best back up school ever.
I love VCU SOM as much as VCU Adcoms do.
