What are chances of interview offer/acceptances after secondary round?

[triggormortis]

hi,

I’m not actually a medical school applicant, my older sister is. She applied to 14 schools. Today she passed to the secondary round for 4 schools (Utmb, Ut southwestern, Ut McGovern, and Texas tech). Also, we are Texas residents if that matters lol. Her GPA is a 3.2 (could be lower actually tbh, I’m not completely sure), and MCAT is a 498. She does have some community service and shadowing hours. Additionally, she only submitted her app last week, so pretty late into the cycle. I will add that she was a computer science major so that may have given more leniency for her stats. I know her stats are pretty low, but since she did pass onto secondary round for 4 schools and counting, I think she overcame that barrier. I just want to know what’s the likelihood of acceptance/moving onto interview round? I know this is only the second round, but I feel like 4 schools already getting back to her is a lot, so does that mean she has a good chance?

Do you mean secondary essays? I am afraid with the lower GPA and MCAT, she is very unlikely to receive any interviews at the TX MD schools. Did she apply anywhere else such as DO schools?

We can only guess since you are not the applicant. We don't know much about demographics or specific desire to work with specific communities.
