2014-2015 Panic Thread
Started by ftp902
Started freakin out this week once I finally joined SDN because of everyone receiving II's. And I'm frustrated because I submitted really early. Most of my secondary apps have been in for almost 6 weeks...Le sigh.
You're in TX though right? If you applied to just about every TXMDAS school, you'll be fine if your stats are decent. Tx takes pretty good care of its kiddies.
At least your applications are complete. My school isn't sending my Committee Letter.
Wut?
: ( I hope you get that figured out soon!At least your applications are complete. My school isn't sending my Committee Letter.

Hi everyone, my name is FFH, I'm one of the many co-founders of the Neurotic and Superstitious Society of Penguinism.
Please take a moment and ask yourself:
Do you feel waiting is simply too much to bear?
Do you feel you are losing it to the void?
Do you want love and supports from fellow creatures?

I already changed my avatar yesterday. I am that desperate. 🙁
It's always better to have made change yesterday than having to make the change tomorrow.I already changed my avatar yesterday. I am that desperate. 🙁

The only response I keep getting is, "It will be complete soon. Be patient." Funny thing is, I was one of the first ones to receive a Committee Letter interview back in March. You can imagine my frustration at this point. I was thinking of going without committee letter, but then there is that element of "maybe they will submit it tomorrow" type of thing. At this point, I better damn wait for that letter.
But whatever, there isn't much I can do and will just have to strap down and just wait it out.
I'm in depression, the 4th stage of grief. : ' )No one has been panicking since yesterday at 9:58pm?
Besides, it's too early to panic anyway since alot of the schools will be sending II by Mid-september to early November according to a similar thread last year.
Better to just sit pretty and eat some cake.

Or sit it out with a six pack of beer.
I sometimes have trouble breathing while waiting these days.
I've unsubscribed from almost everything because I just can't take the suspense when I get an email haha
LOL I thought I was the only one, phew

So I woke up to check my email today
back to bed

School has started, and focusing on it is damn near impossible.
Just consider the Pre Allo forum is a big panic thread.Errr, hi guys. Pre-med transferring at a new school this fall. Taking bio and orgo. Can I panic with you too?
Very trueJust consider the Pre Allo forum is a big panic thread.
Anyone have ideas for good distractions while waiting?
I've never refreshed emails so often. I do have two II currently, but waiting to hear from hopefully at least one school where I have family ties and my home state... I panic every time I see a new post on the official interview thread and see one of the schools I applied to is sending out interviews. Praying that the rest of the schools aren't doing a silent rejection...haha.

September approaches and it's still complete silence over here. No IIs. No rejections. The most I've heard is from Mayo who requested my LORs almost two months ago.

Same here. It's getting nerve-wracking 🙁
Are higher stat applicants interviewed first?
I submitted all of my secondaries early July, haven't heard squat from any institutions.
Grief grief grief
I've wondered this too because I don't want to assume, but that is what it appears to be (assuming people are posting accurate stats with their IIs...)
Have you not heard that greed is the most soul consuming evil of all? A taste of II only invites madness craving for more...Anybody who has even one II already has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN OR PANIC. That is all.

THIS x 1000
I keep telling myself that only people who were complete early to mid July have a bunch of IIs. Hoping September is when we all see some love.
Sitting here with a 3.82 gpa and a 26 mcat with like 240h volunteering. Restudying for the MCAT highly doubting Ill do any better. Close to actually being depressed. Classes just started today and I can't really pay attention because I'm worried about the stupid MCAT. I just want to get into MSU's med school..or anywhere in MI.

Thank you! And yep, they're all in September. It's going to be a busy (and very airborne) month...
Aww, come on... I'm panicking about flubbing the interview! Seriously. I will freeze up and only be able to access vocabulary words present in a two year old's brain. You don't even know...Anybody who has even one II already has ABSOLUTELY NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN OR PANIC. That is all.
i have multiple friends with at least 4 interviews already...still sitting at zero and silence.
in the words of taylor swift, "I've never heard silence quite this loud"
