unless you had a better casper last year ( tbh i think casper % is also slightly based on luck since its subjective) then clearly the medical school admissions process is inconsistent which is quite alarming. I am terribly sorry :( hope you get some good news from elsewhere

Got rejected pre-interview last year, invited the year before, no idea how I made it this time... I'm seeing so many others with great stats and ECs and I'm shocked with my result. I rlly lucked out. It's my only invite so far cuz I have a low CARS, so I'm really grateful. But I sincerely hope everyone else here has an invite somewhere else or will get another soon. I teared up today because it was such a hard journey for me getting rejected all the time. You are all deserving, I'm wishing us all success!
