5 interviews pre-dec, and after a good 2 months after Dec 1. still no acceptances...don't really know what to do if I don't get in this cycle...i try to be positive but it is sure is tough these days...

any ideas for next cycle? I really thought I'd get in without having to use my various connections and just on my merits alone but it looks like that was a mistake...

I really thought I did good in most my interviews, def. didn't crash and burn..

NYU just cashed my check if that means anything to you.

I'm sure 2nd rounds will be coming out soon.

Yes, that is a mistake. If you have a connection, keep your mouth shut about it, but USE IT.

really doubt it woulda made a difference...but it may have helped. I think it would have been just putting in another good word for me, aside from my LORs at most.

Anyways, any ideas on what to do until the next cycle starts. I'm thinking maybe some more and diversified volunteer work, maybe retake DATs and some JC classes.

Or maybe I should just move to Hawaii, live on the beach and bum my way around.
