1st of all:
all you all the serious gunners of the gunners upset at amcas in may? damn, i was an august mcater who didn't do amcas until like july or was it august? and i still got in. i know, i know, applying early helps but come on it can't make THAT much of a difference if it is may 14th or june 1st. i do think amcas wasn't ready for you all, but many times, i often think neither was the world . . .
secondly, you all want to get your amcas in by may we'll say 20th so you don't have a coronary . . . and me? well, i'd like to throw 97 miles per hour and pitch for the mets. i think we got about the same chances, let's say zero in a million. or is that the same as zero? guess a gunner could remind me how to do algebra.
okay, enough being a wise ass. i do feel for ya that amcas isn't ready for all of the applications being submitted yet. if you're looking for valadation from posting here, believe me, you get it from me. amcas is just one screwed up piece of the puzzle that can serve as a metaphor for the whole admissions process . . . it takes a bit of luck -- what interviewers you get, how early in the cycle, how early it is that morning, how you feel, how they feel etc. etc. etc. i sure wish we could make this thing all more objective. but that wouldn't be medicine, that would be science -- and without luck, there's no art in medicine. being in the right place in the right context makes artists artists or makes talented people cheap knock offs.
i guess all i'm getting at is the response you're getting from amcas: well get ready, the whole freaking admissions process never gets any less frustrating.
good luck to all
