Going to start reapplication now. I'll be praying internally that I get surprised next weekend, but I'm kind of done panicking. There's nothing left to complain about, the only path forward is to lock in and make up for lost time.
What's another year? What's another move? Nah......we were good enough to get onto the waitlists of schools. When we apply again next year we'll show adcoms that yes, medicine is what we want - and we want to be physicians on top of that. We aren't afraid of going through bureaucracy and glazing and patient assault and lack of resources and privatization and funding cuts because to heck with that - we chose this career path because deep down, each of us wanted to make the world and its people better and healthier. I can think of no more noble cause to stand by.
Congratulations to all of those who've managed to get in this year, it warms my heart. Super Earth salutes you all. This has been John Helldiver, signing off.
