How I Did It:
Grades and MCAT were average. I was worried applying this cycle, but am ecstatic with how things turned out. I account my acceptance to :
1) Very strong background in research, publications
2) LORS, esp from those affiliated with the school I got into
3) Great Interview
4) Luck
Best of luck to all future applicants!
