Got my interview for NEOMED on 2/18, got the WL on 3/10ish, and finally the A on 6/8 (right between 67 and 69, I'll never forget).

I knew I had a low chance (about 33%) going into this process given my stats and it certainly was a long one. If I were to change anything I would have taken my MCAT again and tried to do better (my practices were averaging 510+). But here we are. All it took was one. Thank you to everyone on this site for being thoughtful as us WL warriors fight against time. I hope the best for everyone going forward. All it takes is one.
