Yes, I know. I know. But knowing doesn't help anxiety even if it's unfounded anxiety. I do feel pretty lame for complaining about it.
Wait, what are you anxious about? You have an II already!

This application cycle has been a cause of such despair that I have turned to religion.
no verification yet aaaaah!
Just got verified last week, and of course never got around to prewriting. So I'm writing secondaries. Churning them out like a mofo. They sound so sappy. Like, sweet jesus. So sappy. And they're all blurring together. Did I use "truly" or "hopefully" too many times in my essays for this school or not at all yet? Why on earth did I pick this school again--did they have the learning communities or was it the other school?
I've fallen in love with every school I've written about, like some sort of premed floozy.
I'm losing all respect I had for myself as a writer, as it all sounds the same. It's like the farting Twilight series, "I love Edward. I love Edward. Edward is so beautiful. I love Edward." But replace "Edward" with [medical school]. Times twenty.
God help us all.
I have fallen in love with all the schools I've applied to because they all teach medicine.
Not sure that's an acceptable response on a secondary.

Yay panic thread!!!! Gawd I'm starting to wonder if I have a really bad letter or something.
You don't wanna know. I found out that two of my letters are unsigned and it's been eating at me for weeks. Why would you not sign a letter?![]()
But yeah, I would rather opt for blissful ignorance. 🙂
I hope you got that taken care of 😏
I have a feeling most schools won't take your letters
edit: that feel when you see fb pictures of your old classmates attending their medical school orientations
Why couldn't it have been me man :cry:
Oh god all these secondaries D: It's like a giant spam-fest in my inbox
-Applicant that just got verified

I feel like giving gifts to all the schools whose secondaries have no essays (or at most, an additional info essay). I've only submitted 15 secondaries during week 1, and I have 20 more to do before hitting that 2-week deadline![]()
Way to early in the process bro; chill. II's for you are forthcoming.I'm getting concerned about not having any interview invites. I was verified on 8/7, sent 11 secondaries on 8/8 and the remaining 12 on 8/13 with a few last week (Drexel and WF). At some schools they haven't marked my application complete (NYMC, Albany and UVM), but at others I've been complete for 2.5-3 weeks.
I guess what worries me is that some people on here have upwards of 5-6, even 7 II's already, and the only activity in my direction is a LOR request from Mayo and the receipt of two secondaries from schools that screen.
Anyone feeling the same way right now? Or is it a bit premature to be worrying at this point?

...is it time to give up hope? Just feels like it is unlikely schools come back to people complete in July as the cycle progresses.

This is why I made every effort to not discuss anything involving medical school with any of my peers this summer. It's just tough. Also, that feel when you're at another grueling day of your gap year job and you think, "this wasn't part of the plan..." 🙁
But we're all gonna make it, each and every one of us. Last year just wasn't our year.
Ahhhh I'm sick of checking the threads and email several times a minute.
I wish this whole process was a bit more active. Like make me do 50 pushups and run a mile everyday for 2 weeks and then i'll get small pooled or something.
There's absolutely nothing I can do during this time between submission and interview invite.
Glad I amused you. I just got rejected by Starbucks for a job so I'll take anything positive. 😕

I was rejected by McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, the Cheesecake Factory, Macy's, and JC Penney's. I didn't even think it was possible to be rejected by McDonald's.![]()
Posting again bc my post count was...what it was.

What's also sad is my concept of money now. I always compare everything to the cost of secondaries. I bought a $100 concert ticket the other day and didn't even think twice about it. My thought process? "It's only the price of one secondary; I'm turning in $3,000 secondaries, so what harm is another $100 gonna do?"
Is submitting in early September already considered late?
69. Their post # was 69. 😉
Yes. You'll be complete in Oct/Nov
I am late. Horribly, horribly late. People are talking about attending interviews and I just barely submitted my application. I don't even have a good reason to be that tardy. Now all I can do is sit and nibble my nails, waiting to get verified.![]()

I have not posted a thing or even checked my private messages since AMCAS opened for submissions. 😳I am with you milski. It's one of the worst places to be and there is not much you can do to make yourself feel better. Best thing to do in my opinion is to prewrite secondaries and avoid almost all SDN threads 😛
