Congrats gertey and sorry to others who got waitlisted but I am glad that it wasnt a rejection, don't give up hope. I still have 2 interviews so there is a chance that I go elsewhere and I am sure that I am not the only person in this situation. If that were the case I would be happy if one of you got my seat. But in any case, I can tell you as a three time applicant that persistence pays off if medicine is in your heart, you will get there! Good luck and I hope that there is a lot of movement on the waitlist![/QUOTE
Thank you for the kind and uplifting words!!
It would be hard to pass up such a phenomenal school, but whatever you decide make sure that it comes from your heart and that you will be happy with your decision. I see how having multiple interviews and options can make it tough but it's awesome that you can do that. Congrats on all those achievements.
Yes, indeed persistence pays off. We all have different obstacles in our lives and challenges we face so most of the time the path to becoming a doctor is not a straight road. (But at the same time thank God for that)
This is the first time I'm applying and who knows maybe I will need to apply for several more years but hey such is life. This is what I want to do so giving up will not be an option.
Good luck with your remaining interviews. I know you will do fabulous.
BTW where are you interviewing?
