I think it must be that if you have old, but still valid, scores they can be used. That's the only explanation I can think of why some people are getting rejections and I'm not. My record is far from stellar, and I'd expect that if rejections based solely on GPAs are being sent, I'd be getting my share.
I'm sure I'll get plenty of rejections after MCATs are out, but if the schools had them now, I'd surely have at least one (MCW ruled me ineligible to apply, so I'm not counting that).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not down on myself at all. I know I can do this, and be good at it. I just really wish people would look at more than my grades. But so far, they haven't, so I'm trying to prepare myself.
