Once you get an interview, how important is the academic record/MCAT

I interviewed at a school with ~70% post-interview acceptance rate and the lowest stats out of all the schools I applied to. At the end of the interview, the interviewer implied I was already in, stating that this day was strictly to recruit me into the program. And... I wasn't even waitlisted. Flat out rejection.

Guess where I was just accepted to? A school with higher stats, remarkably smaller post-interview acceptance ratio where I had the worst interview experience (I cried afterwards and literally laid in bed fetal position for a couple days)

Moral of the story: Medical school admissions is a crapshoot and you can never really anticipate these things. It's best to just hope for the best and not waste anymore time trying.
