^"In my friend S case, he applied to ALL US bs/md programs and got interviewed in many, but failed even one acceptance. " - You are contradicting yourself, your statements are confusing. Did your friend apply in CA or ALL bs/md?
In fact, when D. was interviewing and going to many informational sessions, we have met people from CA in our state - OH. OH also happens to have more bs/md programs than many other states and it is WORTHWHILE to apply in OH. In addition, even going Regular Route, many CA kids are applying to OH and other midwest Medical Schools and are getting accepted in vey large numbers. And your friend is a proof of it with his acceptance to Case Med. school.
Anyway, D. went to many interivews, not only for bs/md programs but also for various Merit scholarships at different places. Some of these were few days long. None of it has prevented her from graduating #1 from her private HS. And yes, all #1’s from her HS before and after her went to Harvard. She was an exception, she went to public state primarily because she wanted to be in bs/md, she was offerred full tuition Merit award and it was the school that was a perfect fit for her. Do not underestimate the last, it is very important that college matches student personality and wide range of interests. She got much more out of her 4 years in UG than all of us anticipated.
