Hey--sorry to hear you're feeling so overwhelmed. I ws definitely in your position a few months ago and I'm drained from waiting for schools! But I have to encourage you that things definitely do get better and all that studying and writing will definitely help! I know that the personal statement is essential when it comes to interviews and they like to talk about it. Also, the MCAT and GPA can be a determiner of whether or not you get an interview...so not to put stress on you or anything, but don't let your spirit go! Keep up the work and just keep in mind what you are working for...can you imagine how wonderful it will feel when you get your MCAT scores a few months and you realize that you did awesome? Also...just make sure your personal statement is unique and really reflects how you think and what makes you different. The best thing is to stay encouraged! Take your brain off of the stress and if you can, give yourself a day for yourself to do what you enjoy...reading, hiking, TV, whatever you actually like to do. It's important to just REGENERATE your brain to continue your pursuit of medicine. BEST of luck!
