Literally brushing my teeth and getting rejected. Nothing but rejections for me! I plan to eat an entire pie on Thursday to console myself. Extra whip cream if I keep getting these rejections...

There are a number of current possibilities about things occuring in my house:
1) There is a prehistoric sized insect in here.
2) There is a small-ish hummingbird in here.
3) I am hallucinating or delusional due to sleep deprivation, stress, and/or mental illness.

I have stared at past threads and calendars some more and it appears that Utah UNI emails on Tuesdays or Thursdays. Or that was a complete coincidence in the past. Who knows, really, but today's Tuesday, so it's something to obsess about. 😛I'm waiting to hear from the University of Utah as well!
I feel like the order should be reversed. Just count yourself lucky I'm not a training director. I'd be giving serious thought to your risk assessment and triage competencies. 😛I'd call pest control and your friendly neighborhood psychiatrist. In that order.

Umm.....I've never noticed that before! Thank you so much for mentioning it! I'll now know who to call out when I'm constantly refreshing all day and night and start feeling let down that nobody is posting.It's nice seeing all the green things next to everyone's avatars. We're all here together. Watching. Waiting. Anticipating.
...Avoiding.

Oh my god you're right, TAKE NOTE for when this exact scenario inevitably comes up during interviews. We can a learn from my oversight. 😉I feel like the order should be reversed. Just count yourself lucky I'm not a training director. I'd be giving serious thought to your risk assessment and triage competencies. 😛

Ok, with each rejection I receive I immediately consider applying to more places while there's still time. Does anyone feel this way. This year there just happen to be hurricanes (which devastated cities, states, and countries); but has led to some sites extending their due dates. Is that a sign I should apply to more places? Wise mind says "no, you've maxed out in terms of returns on applications [20] and its still early". Emotion mind says "what's another $300, keep adding sites, screw history and statistics, apply to more places". The struggle is real.
You're welcome. Yes - I am pretty observant and helpful. I'm going to be a doctor (or something).Umm.....I've never noticed that before! Thank you so much for mentioning it!

Depending on the state you live in, the hummingbird might eat the insect (as would a lizard). I think you're fine.There are a number of current possibilities about things occuring in my house:

Excellent reframing. Try submitting that as a demonstration of your capabilities if you throw in a bunch more apps?

Same. Everyone's like, don't go on those forums. But it's the only thing that helps manage my anxiety right now!
I can't believe someone in my cohort applied to One site last year... And matched... I'm feeling pretty discouraged with 23! Sorry I had to vent

Hey! I also got this as my first invite! Have you heard back about dates yet? What's the expected turnaround time on confirming our interview dates, do you think?
EDIT: Never mind, they just got back to me! A lot of anxiety over nothing.
