I’m at the point in this process where the glimmers of hope have faded and at this point I just want these schools to reject me and get it over with rather than jerk me around until July.

Yeah some of those schools I applied to on a whim last minute. Mostly bummed about Touro. Thought I had a shot at getting in a lower tier school but from what I read they get back to As usually within a month and let the Rs go for months. Might give it one more shot for the spring, maybe try to get a higher score but I’m 34 and my grades are my grades and nothing I can really do about it. Probably was always a pipe dream.
