2012-2013 Panic Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
If I ever want to wish punishment on somebody, I will send them to Texas where they can watch all of their best friends get acceptances on November 15th...while they sit there with another empty inbox...
 
Well I, for one, finally have a proper distraction from this process: Rockets are reaching Tel Aviv and Jerusalem for the first time since '91 and '70 respectively. All my family is there. My cousins have never been in a bomb shelter for real in their lives before, and the cell network's down so I can't reach them. FML.
 
I've tried to contain the panic....

but, at this point, I would trade my one and only II at a Top 10 for three II in the Top 100.

Doomsday is a week away.
 
Rejection this morning put me firmly back on the panic wagon 🙁 my first interview is tomorrow (at my state school) and now all I can think about is what happens if I mess it up...

That's rough, a rejection right before an interview. Don't dwell on it though, because you don't want it to mess you up for tomorrow. Focus on the positives and the fact that you received an invite for an interview 👍

Best of luck tomorrow! 🙂

I am so sorry to read that. I hope that they are safe, that this stops and you may hear good news soon. 🙁
 
Hi All,

I know everyone's worried and stressed, but if I have received no interview invites at this point, is it safe to say my chances are slim to none? (29T, 3.74)

Complete at 11 schools early September, complete at Qunnipiac as of last week.
 
^ I don't have any interviews either 🙁 .... things just suddenly slowed down after late september. Right now, it's hard to say what our chances are. But if we still don't hear back from rolling schools in February, it's probably a silent rejection lol
 
I was nervous about my MCAT score and tried to find the schools with lower MCAT averages...Also I'm a MA resident and don't have many instate options, so it was tough to find out of states with lower stats. Did I just do myself a dis-service?

Some schools don't send out invites until a month before the interview date. If you were complete really late, your interview date might be in like January and you won't get an invite until December 😀
 
Med schools still sent out II's in December, correct? I am 95% sure they do I'm just panicked which is why I'm in this thread. Complete at schools in October, some in early November.

Hope your family is safe, but it's a shame Israel broke the ceasefire yet again, bombarding Palestine and indiscriminately killing civilians. Their excuses are becoming increasingly pathetic. In other news, congrats to UCI for successfully divesting from Israel!
 
Sorry sinombre last post

So the UCI student association unanimously voted to divest but Yudof and his cronies block it? Typical 😵

My school didn't send out an invite until a week before the interview (I got to choose the date), so it's definitely highly variable.
 
2 II, 2 R, and 1 Pre-Interview Hold. I'm glad I'm starting to hear something from schools. I still have 15 apps out.
 
UGH .. it's the weekend again. Still no news in November. FML

Yeah, just to second this...I was complete at most schools between 9/15-10/15 and just got my first interview(s!) on Wednesday and Thursday this week (so 11/14). It can take a while...some schools still haven't even marked me complete. Okay, one school. :xf:

Just wondering how its considered a 'cease-fire' when one side shoots rockets indiscriminately at civilians?

Don't hold your breath guys, I will be the patron for a long long time. :laugh:

Nope. Get with the program, man; unless you have four rejections in 1 day (like me a while back), you're not allowed to consider yourself a rejection record-holder.

I also consider myself the 'on -hold' record-holder--five in two days. I feel so humbled by my accomplishments.

Med schools love record holders. You should send them an update letter! 😛

Everyone here who really wants it'll get it eventually. Don't let LizzyM's new favorite quote get you down. :luck:👍
 
N'other late applicant II here. They're still going out fellow panic'ers.

2II, 1R, 18 silence (and still yet to hear from my state school)

Thanks bros. Shaker just remember to put a little pep in your step when you interview and try to think of me when you're there; only good can come from it :meanie: Good luck man!

To everyone else:

I don't know what to say, really. Five months into the biggest battle of our professional lives. All comes down to the next few months, and either, we heal as premeds, or we're gonna crumble. Waitlist after waitlist, rejection after rejection. Until we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the crap kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one interview at a time. Now I can't do it for ya, I'm already accepted. I look around, I see these young premeds and I think, I mean, I've made every wrong choice an accepted applicant can make. I, uh, I've pissed away all my money by applying to 20 schools, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me. And lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror. You know, when you get old, in life, things get taken from you. I mean, that's... that's... that's a part of life. But, you only learn that when you start losin' stuff.

You find out applying's this game of luck, so is being a premed. Because in either game - life or the application cycle- the margin for error is so small. I mean, submitting your app one day too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite get a secondary The motivation we need is everywhere around us. They're in every part of the forum, every school-specif thread, every email. On this team we fight for that acceptance On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that acceptance. We claw with our fingernails for that acceptance. Because we know when add up all those acceptances, that's gonna make the freakin difference between winning and losing! Between dying and reapplying!

I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to reapply whose gonna win that acceptance. And I know, if I'm gonna have any life anymore it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that acceptance, because that's what living is, the interviews that are in front of your face. Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the applicant next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you're going to see a guy who will go that inch with you. Your gonna see a guy who will sacrifice his multiple acceptances for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it your gonna do the same for him come May 15th. That's a team, gentlemen, and either, we heal, now, as SDNers, or we will die as reapplicants. That's the application cycle guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?
