almost certain i know why: late submissionsI'm kinda in the same boat with you in terms of similar stats, any idea as to why other schools haven't bitten yet? do you think maybe it was your writing, clinical hours, interview, etc?
i’ve always had problems with only being able to do things last minute, especially when it comes to writing-based tasks (e.g. applications). i knew that applying early was important from the beginning, but i ended up completing almost every secondary on the due date in both cycles (22-23 & 23-24)
this cycle i submitted my TMDSAS & AMCAS primary in september with both verified in october. AACOMAS primary was submitted/verified in november. secondaries for all schools were completed october-february
i have completed four other interviews which i’m waiting to hear back from (i had one interview last cycle)
i will say that i think my writing and clinical experiences (or lack thereof) have improved significantly since my first cycle (i think they were my greatest downfall in my first cycle, other than my late submissions), and i’m confident in saying that this made a huge difference in the number of interviews i got this year. i’m also willing to bet that if i had applied earlier, i probably would’ve had an even more successful cycle
all that to say: some of my schools probably haven’t even reviewed my written app yet lol but i have a good feeling with how my other interviews went and am expecting at least one additional acceptance this cycle
