Guys I’m so sad. It’s great seeing other people killing it on sdn and I love cheering them on but it also makes me upset that I’m not succeeding as well. I’m kind of losing hope

Don't worry dude you go on here and see all these gods but I promise you if you get off this website and ask other premeds in real life how their cycle is going 99% are in the same boat as us - 1 or no As with several WL or 1 or 2 interviews and thinking about reapplying.

That’s makes me feel a bit better. Although 2 of my 3 friends that are applying this cycle are doing just as good as the sdn gods haha

I would hedge a bet that one of those WL will convert to an A… at least that’s what I keep telling myself! Wishing you luck!!

Anyone know if you can send a letter stating a school is your top choice if you’re on the waitlist even if you haven’t been accepted anywhere? Do schools care about seeing that? Would it hold any weight?

I would argue that would be when it most matters. Unfortunately, I've seen that LOIs usually aren't taken too seriously unless it's a school like Mayo

This is 100% where I am at. Having an extremely hard time focusing on a re-application with 4 WL pending. Just trying to trust the process and not lose my mind completely

I have WLs at Touro and Western (DO), as well as UCSD (MD), but no A's
1. Am I cooked?
2. I know I probably won't hear back from these schools until May at the earliest, but the idea of reapplying is dreadful. Anyone have any words of wisdom about preparing for a reapp while still waiting for waitlists?

WL at Touro CA, PNWU, and NEOMED. I don't think I have it in me to reapply since I'm nontrad and would have to retake the MCAT. All of these schools have high waitlist movement, but the possibility that I put in all the work and may end up with nothing anyway is killing my morale.
