Why? Finding out how some other student did has absolutely no bearing on what might or might not happen with you. First, every year is a different set of applicants so what might have applied to a student currently IN medical school might not align at all when you apply in at least for our years. Second…what happened in the last to one student or more won’t help you at all.
You need to get the best grades you can get. You need a strong MCAT score. You need to apply widely to many medical schools…and sure it’s ok to apply to CA medical schools. But make sure (when/if the time comes) that you have a well rounded and varied list of medical schools. Remember, most apply to at LEAST 20 programs in hopes of getting one interview and acceptance. And most do not reach that bar.
