I just want to start by saying there is hope. I’ve been accepted to 3 MD schools (including a UC) and I’m still waiting on another UC decision, all with a 505 MCAT. I know it can feel like everything comes down to the MCAT, but for my fellow reapplicants and anyone feeling discouraged right now, it really is possible to get in.

I’ll also be withdrawing from 2 MD schools this week (and 12+ DO schools), and I’m hopeful that this opens doors for others who are still waiting. Sending so much good luck to everyone still in the cycle, you’ve got this 🤍
