So if she graduated in spring of 2023 when did she apply? Is she at the end of the cycle? My S19 is applying this May for entry fall 2025. He graduated spring 2023 and has been working full-time in a hospital and continuing research projects he was involved in in undergrad. He has around 1000+ clinical hours now.
I think he said he needs to appy to about 30 med schools. He’s a 4.0 in 2 degrees top 1% MCAT.
I believe he said you want to apply in the very beginning of the cycle. If she applied last May perhaps they wanted to see completed clinical experience.
I also worry about something out of her control, like a poor reference. I know my S19 is having a hard time getting some of his prof’s to respond to emails. 1/2 of his recommenders respond right away… the others it’s crickets.
