Now comes talk about what happens if you don't get into Medical School. I know individuals with high MCAT scores and GPA not get in because of their interview. I know some that got in because of their interview despite of their GPA and MCAT Scores...and I know some that didn't get accepted.

What does that mean? I don't think it is the end of the world. There is always a next year. Personally, if you stay committed to Medicine in the years you are off, the Medical schools take that into consideration. There's no wrong in trying to do a Master's or PhD program (Something close to Biology or Medicine) and then trying another year. That would, in many cases, be better than just doing odd jobs during the years off. There are also many post-Baccalaureate programs around the United States that you can enroll in. These train you for basic sciences and you can boost your GPA this way (And admissions boards of the colleges from the university you're doing Post-Bac through look at the extra effort as well).

I am in the process of applying to Medical School as well. If I don't get in (which has the higher odds than me actually getting in), I will be applying for a Masters program at my school.

It's a long way to Medical school and medical merit, but it seems to be worth it. We just gotta keep on truckin'!
