Patience is a virtue, the need for instant gratification is not.

Applications are not processed in order of receipt either.

It's possible you may have a bad letter of recommendation.

What ethnic Community do you represent? And please do not say Brooklyn

Welcome to the forums.

We don't have your application or your WAMC profile. What does your prehealth advising office say? Did you apply to DO programs? Did you network with schools before applying or been involved with mentoring organizations for aspiring Latinx physicians? Did you get an FAP waiver?

Practice patience. We're not even at the halfway point of the cycle.

Follow LizzyM's rule: If you don't have a II by Thanksgiving, then you should have some concern. But even that's not a hard and fast rule, my first and only II (later converted to an A) came in January.

A WAMC could be helpful to assess things though
