Acceptance Karma

The later I go through the process, the more I believe in what I've called "acceptance karma". After interviews, I've started to believe that the more I "pretend I didn't get in and keep working hard", the better chance I have. I know it sounds crazy, but the post-interview mind games are killing me.

I had the same feeling.

You will get in bud. Keep your head high and enjoy your night. I'll drink one for you tonight. *Cheers*

Its not karma at all. Studies have shown that those who have the mentality that he/she has "made it" tend to go to lesser extents to achieve more. Bragging on social media, for instance, gives you a false sense of "arrival" and achievement that will make you work less hard towards further goals along the same path. Lesson being, don't brag, keep your head down, and celebrate once you are done with it all. Alternatively, celebrate but always keep a mentality of, "this is nice, but I still have a ton of work ahead of me".

I think you have a good chance! Your MCAT is really good.

I was excited when I was accepted. Now after my first week of med school, I'm dying.

We just had biochem 1&2 along with cell bio within 5 days.
I passed the test, so I guess all is not lost.

You should be competitive as long as you're well rounded. I had a 500 MCAT and 3.9 sGPA and cGPA with no problems. Good luck this cycle!

Just wondering if I should treat it like a "new school" or like RVU....

I wish I could tell you, but I have no clue about the new campus.
