I feel like this waiting period itself is a very humbling experience. On my interview day, as soon as I got out of the room with my EXCOM, he told me that I was a solid applicant and that he will strongly advocate for me. I think that must have made me too over-confident and this waiting period has definitely given me a reality check.

That was the message I got at a different school, and I started getting anxiety when it took a while to get the official message of acceptance (which did come). That wasn't what I was told at UW though... So, in your situation I would remain confident.

This just gave me anxiety.
I agree, it lets me reflect how honorable and privileging it is to practice medicine. *Cheesy

Well...received no call today, so time to wait for the good ol' SUC to roll in...

 

[rapbang]

@kvallian Congrats. Are u IS or OOR ?

 

[mavric1298]

Same here. I think I've pretty much given up any hope at this point. It's just rinse and repeat of wait, SUC, wait, SUC.

At least we all get to keep commiserating with each other, those accepteds never come around anymore.

Well, I mean, they would just be unintentionally reminding us of their better luck...

1. Spend few hours writing letter of intent.
2. Re-read some UWSOM emails.
3. "Please note that we are not accepting activity updates or letters of intent."
4. Oh.....
5. ????
6. No Profit ...............

 

[tamsulosin1989]

When do SUC emails usually roll in?

[psychedskier]

This was seemed a bit friendlier with an almost encouraging tone that makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside about my future prospects....who am I kidding...AAAAHHHHHH 🙂

 

[freak7]

SUC received about 30 seconds ago... Feeling like a contestant on The Bachelor only it's UWSOM, not Nick Viall, and SUC's not roses. Holding out for the proposal, but it's a good thing that there aren't any Corinne's in our season.

 

[Husky28]

SUC..gah.

Thank god I'm not the only one here that watches this beautiful ****.

Have you seen Burning Love?

 

[Ativanistheanswer]

Well, I guess I was only a "solid" applicant and not an "excellent" one.

SUC #1 Oh boy here we go again

 

[freak7]

Still waiting... Please send pizza

Out of the running guys ... It's been a pleasure. Crossing my fingers for WSU so I can stay in Washington.

Shoot! So sorry to hear. Hopefully ESFCOM takes you.

What time did the rejection come?

Sorry to hear, maybe we'll run into each other at WSU.

I still think your EXCOM member saying they would advocate for you is a really good sign... If EXCOM members advocating for you doesn't mean you will get in then there would be no real purpose of having an EXCOM in the first place.

Thanks! It came at 4PM. Hoping you just got a lazy EXCOM and end up with an acceptance email soon! 🙂

Best of luck with WSU! You'll do great! Hang in there, it's an emotional process for everyone :/

Sorry to hear 🙁 would suggest getting out of the house and treating yourself for getting this far. It's what I did for another rejection post-interview and it helped me put it in perspective, like someone else said. Best wishes

I feel like I became a "regular" at my local pub last cycle, as I went to have a beer for every rejection. Keep your head up, this is a numbers game a lot of the time, and a roll of the dice. I'm sure many of us will be joining you in the not too distant future in the rejection pile

Yeah I would, but I'm working late and now apparently need to save up to move across the state/country.

 

[tamsulosin1989]

Rejection.

 

[mavric1298]

Wow - I don't think we saw ANY rejections up until this point in the thread, other than at the other campus just this week. So sorry tamsulosin1989 - my words for freak stand for you as well, and everyone who got the R today. It is a sad day that's for sure
