What happened?

Hehe ya, a lot of people apply to 30+ schools, or so I hear. But that was just unrealistic for me considering the cost. Frankly I thought that with the 14 schools I applied to I would definitely wind up at one of them with my qualifications. I realize of course that the numbers are far from perfect, but I was still very confident with them. Ironically enough, my safety school (though I did not apply to any school that I would not be happy to attend) was the first to reject me. There is a lesson here =), but I am too frustrated to dig it out and dust it off just yet. My nationality is Lithuanian (first generation American), but in the end that just comes out to Caucasian. I wish you luck as well... and TO US ALL!

it has to have been one of your LOR's

a professor perhaps who once wanted to attend med school and didnt go or couldnt; and he saw your oppurtunity and for some reason decided to screw you

i'd bet a grand on that.

I feel for you man....I did a post-bac program and there were many people from Cali trying to get into med school......I've lived on the East Coast all my life, but from what I hear from all my Cali friends, it's freakin impossible to get into UCs......i feel like the avg MCAT score in Cali is a 38-40, avg GPA is a 3.9....if that is the case, then you fall just below avg.....now compare your stats with applicants to East Coast schools, and you blow the avgs away.....its pretty ridiculous if you ask me, but I guess Cali can afford to be that strict.....I dont have any doubt you will get into school somewhere, just dont give up, your stats are way too good for you to stop trying....best of luck to you!!
