There are people who have good reasons to be upset; they are the ones who deserve access to limited resources.

We are totally going to have to meet up during orientation! Congratulations again, that's amazing
Have you considered being a private tutor? At least where I live, the market for tutoring is excellent.I made a rough draft of my new personal statement this weekend. I sent out many emails asking DOs if I can shadow them. I started writing the secondaries for my top choice schools. I have a list of 40 schools, including several DO schools. I am thoroughly uninterested in a life where I'm not a doctor, so I have to do everything I can. Tomorrow I will have a conversation with my credit card company and see if I can convince them to extend my credit line by several thousand dollars. If not, I will have to figure out a way to earn an awful lot of money in a very short amount of time. Congratulations to those who have been accepted. To everyone else, I hope that you all find peace within yourselves easier than I have.

I'll try that. I got denied by like 47000 credit card companies because I'm so highly leveraged with student loans though, so I'm not sure I like my odds.You're probably better off opening a new card vs getting a line increase which I believe is actually harder to do. Try a travel card, and use the sign up bonus for interview travel. I did this with a few cards this cycle and it really paid off. PM me if you want more info or a referral link for a good card.
maybe this is something you could try.. i wanted a disney credit card (i love disney lol). it's a chase credit card and i filled out the form online multiple times and they kept denying me but i went to a disney store and they approved me right there. nothing changed, but the person in the store told me that they approve people easier in the store than online. maybe you could try something similar with a card from a storeI'll try that.

I went this route with a travel card which offered a nice bonus: spend $$$$ in x months and get ~$500 in bonus money.You're probably better off opening a new card vs getting a line increase which I believe is actually harder to do.

don't listen to what others say. do what's best for you. i would apply broadly to MD and DO next cycle if i were you. i've seen stories of people who applied 3+ times and were accepted. my own cousin barely changed anything about her app her second time around and got in. to a school that rejected her the first time without an interview. personally, if i don't hear from my WL school in the coming week(s), i'm going to talk to them about applying ED. i know people on SDN don't really think it's a good idea applying ED, but i have good reasons for wanting to attend and their timeline isn't that bad to where i'd find out if i'm getting an interview in august and an acceptance in september. i hope we all get acceptances next year, if not this year. i wish you the best of luck chocolate, i'm rooting for youSo I started thinking about back up plans this weekend.
Someone told me to "grow up and apply to the carribbean. If I'm not going to get in after three tries, I need to realize that I need to do whatever I can to be a doctor and if that means going to the carribbean, go."
That really hurt. I have a loan because I chose to go to Columbia for my masters right now. I've worked hard because All I've ever wanted was to go to a US medical school, MD or DO but hearing that really really hurt me. On top of that PCOM rejected me so just one thing after another

That's a terrible thing to say to somebody. You have a Master's Degree from one of the finest colleges in the country and someone will see that. If it means applying broadly to only DO schools, so be it.So I started thinking about back up plans this weekend.

I'd be more enraged by that person's ignorance than hurt by their remarks..So I started thinking about back up plans this weekend.

I got told to look at Caribbean schools last weekend. I'm like no way!So I started thinking about back up plans this weekend.

Yeah I did last night! I ended up choosing Jeff and I couldn't be happier
I will likely work two real jobs and do private tutoring on the side. I'll be making a perfectly respectable amount of money--no complaints there. But to be remotely competitive I will need to apply to an obscene number of schools that will likely run me upwards or $4/5000. I'm going to investigate private loans, maybe? I can't do fee assistance because of my parents' income. But there's always money to be found somewhere and I will find it somehow.You're still a student right? You'll be able to rack up more money either by doing more tutoring or picking up a second job after graduation, once you don't have to be doing classes/homework. I worked two jobs during my gap year, both probably pay less than what you make tutoring and it still is a decent sum!
