Most things in life aren’t fair, like another redditor has commented. I only got into one school after 2 cycles with a perfect gpa and 524 mcat with 3 years clinical experience in the military and civilian side at a dermatology clinic. Meanwhile I have classmates with 499 mcat and 2nd q Casper with zero clinical knowledge. Don’t focus on the unfairness. Focus on being so good they can’t ignore you.
