@boolaHI You need to be more honest about what I wrote (starting in post #25):
The subject that you initially criticized was my suggestion to the OP about how many med school apps his/her child should should submit.
You criticized my number by mentioning the smaller number of apps your DD submitted (no mention of scores, stats, med school name, etc, at that point).
I admitted that my son only applied to 6 med schools, but others typically apply to more (particularly if from Calif).
You commented that your DD applied to 7 (no mention at that point of her stats or where she’s at).
I responded with:

@boolahi I think your family may be URM? If so, then their admissions situations could be very different.

And, I stand by those words. In general, that is true. Again, at that point, you hadn’t included stats, which you LATER said was a MCAT between 33-35 (after taking the MCAT 3 times…which BTW, those scores are between the 91st and 97th percentile)
and I responded with:

^^^ Oh yes they were qualified regardless. It's just that qualified URMs applying to med schools can have a shorter list because many med schools will absolutely want them.
[/QUOTE]
If they hadn’t been URMs, even with those stats, if they had only applied to 6-8 med schools as Calif residents, there would have been a good chance that they wouldn’t have had any acceptances.

@mom2collegekids I agree with you, qualified female URM applicants are a commodity.

Hmmm…so you admitted that qualified URM med school applicants are a commodity.
Go figure.
