Hey everyone,

I posted before but I’ll post again because things keep getting worse. I am now on 4 WL (including Alma mater) and just got rejected post II from my last interview (I had 5). It seems like I’m stuck in the middle and something in my app is screwing me.

Unfortunately I’ve found enough evidence that my writing and school list were lacking, despite using an expensive consulting service. I’m in the back and forth process with them now for some sort of remediation (name and shame + warning for other premeds coming soon).

But after today’s rejection, I am once again revisiting the idea of retaking my MCAT (513 with 124 CARS). I am from CA and am ORM so I have always had doubts about this. My gpa is 3.95. I can’t bear the process of reapplying and having this happen again, I’ve already lost thousands of dollars of my work money, a full year of limbo, and have become a shell of my former self. Hobbies are long gone as I’ve really just been trying to perfect my new primary reapp and stressing about the current cycle. With that said, should I retake this test score by end of May, I’m tired of being in the middle with everything, including my MCAT, and I want to finally succeed. I can’t tell if I’m just an unappealing applicant, terrible interviewer (I practiced heavily and thought they went well), or all of the above.

Thanks for reading
