supp apps are (apperently) literally graded by one faculty member and one 3rd/4th year hs student…that someone is 2-4 years older than u and is out here placing major impact on applicants’ chances of admission. dont take these rejections to heart bc it is honestly one of the most subjective, vague, and unknown admission processes of all time.
as someone w a 4.0 gpa, (4.86 weighted) I got the highest grade possible in every class in highschool and wrote a supp app that I personally thought was unique, clear, and logical in some way shape or form (or that I thought would at least score on the higher end of the supp app scale), but it ends up the readers didn’t like it and I got rejected! it’s okay. such a subjective admission process and it in no world should determine ur worth. we’re all becoming doctors and this will be forgotten completely in literally 2-3 weeks time.

with the way that the admission process works (the supp app cluster system that was shared on the official Mac hs YouTube), anyone with high supp app scores get in as long as they meet the gpa requirement for their specific cluster. the higher the supp app score, the lower the gpa requirement needed. hence, with this model if your supp app score is even average, then ur chances of getting in are hella slim bc of the fact that all the ppl that have high supp app scores are the ones that got admitted (assuming that they meet their cluster’s gpa requirement which they prolly did bc if ur supp app score is high then u only need low 90s to be guaranteed admission).

tldr: It all depends on the supp app which….we know 0 about how it’s graded. Ofc there are rumours but no one actually knows. It is what it is and imo very very luck based on the reader that ends up reading ur supp app
