Hello
I applied this cycle and it has been very brutual. I was grateful to get one interview but I have not heard back yet. I honestly feel stuck at the moment. And I dont know how to move forward. I want to start with backup plans but I need some help. My stats are 4.0 and 515 (509-509-515) and I have hours in research, clinical and volunteering. I also worked with an MS2 and resident and also my friends and research PI for my essays. I am not sure what went wrong with my app leading to this outcome (do have low and short term clinical hours but did not expect the cycle to be this brutual). I would love if anyone can recommend a consulting company or even any adcom here on SDN to take a look at my app and tell me what to improve to prepare to reapply this next cycle. I am also worried about reapplying since most of my activities ended when I graduated in college (May 2024)! I was able to continue research (work as a research intern, some light volunteering for breast cancer walks and hospice). Am I cooked? If i have to reapply, I want to do it for the next cycle and I would like help on how to move forward. Also are there programs like the Tulane ACLP where if I do well in these classes, they offer an interview mid cycle and there is a chance to do medical school the following year? Thank you for all the help.
