[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is still very early.  My DS is in his last year of med school now, applied to about 20 schools with similar stats (high GPA from top 10 school, 522 MCAT).  My DS did not go directly from undergrad but worked for two years in a non-medical field.  He had shadowing experience but no research experience and was not a science major.  At this point in the process, he maybe had one interview. Interview notices can come all the way through January (or even later), so please tell your kid to relax and stay off the message boards. Worst case, your kid will need to be a scribe or something similar for a year and then apply again, but he will find a spot because his stats are great.  If this cycle does not work out (but it likely will), make sure the application list includes many schools that are not considered top schools.  No matter where they graduate from, they are all called doctors at the end.[/quote]

Great advice, thank you for sharing your son’s experience.  [/quote]
