Camstah--
Duuuuude... don't give up! Having read other posts of yours in the Keck thread, I think you're a really determined person. I'm sure adcom will notice that, too. I think half of being in medicine is not giving up, the other half, well, that's way too many factors.
Like the other day, I was volunteering at a free clinic. I got bombarded with patients - I had five charts
in my hand and trying to fill a prescription and get a referral with the other hand. A paient is looking on me with these poor little red sore yes. Another one is waiting for me to draw blood. And yet another has been just diagnosed with HepC and I'm trying to
choose words to explain the dire condition...
All the while, the attending is talking to me.
I thought I would keel over from stimulus overload. But the key is to not give up, believe in yourself, try to be confident even though the odds seem against you for whatever reason. I think people subconsciously notice this inner strength.
In the end, you'll win because you believe that you will. Good luck and I hope to see you in Keck (I'll be crossing my fingers for both of us!)
