Vanderbilt 2011. I couldn't ask for a better application process realistically. I don't think I could've gotten into a better school had I applied early or taken the April MCAT. I think my strength was my interviews. I got accepted to 7 of the 8 schools I interviewed at. No Research, Lower GPA and average LOR can be made up by doing well in the interview I think. Just make sure you write great essays so you can land interviews at places where your GPA and your MCAT score are nothing to write home about.
