Hi everyone,
I received 2 interviews this cycle out of 21 applied schools. sGPA 3.6 MCAT 28. Applied late because my last letter of recommendation writer didn't write his for over half a year despite me emailing him occasionally.
Just received a "waitlist" from a school who supposedly has a high alternate list and a regular alternate list. I thought that I really nailed the interview based off of verbal feedback from the faculty interviewer and student interviewer, but I guess we can't always have things go our way.
I still have one school I'm waiting to hear back from which should be around the middle of February. I felt like it went well, but that doesn't mean much when the first one went how it did.
I don't know what my options are at this point. If I have to reapply, I'm guessing my weak spot is my MCAT and I would have to retake it. I'm taking a very challenging course load this semester and I have no opportunity to drop anything to make more time for mcat studying. If I reapplied in June, I would have to take the MCAT in May, which would mean I have the spring to study for it which at this point does not seem plausible.
Does this basically mean that I have no choice but to wait 2 years until I can reapply? It's not going to stop me, but this is a really ****ty situation to be in. My girlfriend and I were going to be moving in next year when I attended medical school and now I have no clue what we can do.
