Hey guys, quick question. I applied last year to 17 MD schools with a 3.65 cum and sci gpa and 32 MCAT from an ivy. I submitted my secondaries pretty late (after holding onto them for over a month) in mid september - early october. i got 3 late interviews in mid february (Einstein, Cornell and SUNY Downstate) and currently high priority waitlisted at einstein. i know my stats are not stellar but i don't think tehy were necessarily exclusionary factors (i could be wrong). i'm thinking the things that could have held me back this cycle were either the late application submission or my LOR. This cycle I plan to submit everything ASAP, within days after i recieve secondaries. I haven't done much during the last year as I was finishing up my senior year but for the next year i will be doing clinical research and will most definitely be authoring several papers and publications.
sorry for the long background, but my question is: as i haven't exactly done much for my application other than submitting it much earlier, do you guys think it will be enough to significantly improve my chances? I am applying to 20 MD schools (10 of which i applied to last cycle) and definitely broadened the scope of the schools.
THANKS!
