I've had a few interviews have some more coming up; I've already interviewed at a school I love

I've gotten back one waitlist and the other schools are silent

I'm expecting some answers this month but I'm very nervous especially hearing different stories where people have like 15 interviews and no acceptances

On the other hand the fact that it's already January probably means I won't get too many more interview invites

Basically my mood has gone from ecstatic to happy to ok and now to frustrated and scared. So my question is how do you guys cope with this? I took some classes just to try and keep my mind off this but it's not working too well...
 
Okay I understand why you are nervous...but don't worry, just be happy for what you have had!

That is how i get through this, I can sit here and think well I only have 2 interviews so far, that isn't a lot...but then again how many people out there have had 0 interviews????

The bottom line is that you only need ONE acceptance to become a doctor! Just be positive and something great will bound to happen! Don't be so nervous, it's only Jan, we still have like 4/5 more months of waiting and anticipation. Hang in there, you'll be happy come next June.

definitely don't give up hope yet. also, be sure to submit update and/or interest letters. keep at your ECs and other commitments and write about your continued interest, especially at the WL school.

Best wishes!

ye workin on that as much as I can...congrats on your acceptances!
 
i guess i had relatively a lot of (8) but I only have one acceptance so far. i think it's true what they say which is that at that point it's probably you holding yourself back. i mean i wouldn't be surprised if some of the schools rejected me flat out or put me on waitlist just to be nice b/c my interview experience was horrible. i just couldn't adapt to the time change and was really stressed out. anyway it showed (pretty badly at one or two schools). i think if you have any decent interview skills you should get in somewhere in the end. in the meantime, don't sweat it.
