Though it has been a few years (okay, just over 20) I applied to Med School in similar circumstances. My grades were okay, BS Physiology and minor in English, reasonable extracurriculars and good volunteering. MCATs were okay but not stellar. Coming from CA (and a UC School) I was a beige fish in a big pond. 20+ rejections - name the school, they sent me a thin envelope.

But I knew that if someone would bring me in for an interivew, I'd get in. So I networked like crazy to find someone who knew someone who knew someone that worked at a Med School. That got me an interview and that got me accepted. Of course, I took a deferment and never went, but that's another story.

What others have said about "it's the only thing she ever wanted to do." and "If I don't get in, I'll go volunteer to immunize orphans in the Congo and then reapply next year" answers.

Find someone who knows someone - she sounds like an interview will clinch it for her.

Good luck! You should be a proud dad.
