Hi SDN folks, it has been a while since I last posted. I have been quite removed from med school admissions and want to get your inputs re: my cousin. She is applying this year but no luck so far - no interviews at all which surprised me big time since she has a LOT better stats than I did. She has a 4.0 GPA (BCPM and overall) from a state school. Her MCAT is 514. She also has over 700 hrs of research and 400 hrs or so clinical experience (work + volunteer). I am shocked that she has no take at all - even at our state med schools. She is seriously considering retaking her MCAT and she is asking for my advice. I really don't know what to tell her since I have been so removed from med school admissions recently and as you all know, my stats were low. Thoughts? Has med school admissions been so much more competitive since my days?
