2 rejections and 0 invites and many nightmares 🙂
Madonna, what Madonna song would epitomize your feelings right now? I would think if a school were to inform you of an interview today it would be "Lucky Star." But perhaps right now it's "Live to tell."

I am going to get out my old lace gloves, rubber bangles and black eyeliner and send some good vibes your way.

S'up Rayhan, you didn't like my humbling story? I've got more stories of me being an idiot if you need them to brighten your day. In High School, I once walked right into a stop sign infront of this guy I totally had a crush on. He was on the bus and I was trying to wave to him. So, yeah, the whole bus saw. Does that help?
 
The journal thing was bad but walking into a stop sign with the whole bus watching had to be mortifying. I can't imagine!

Sorry, Madonna. You can sleep better knowing that you were my idol when I was a child. 🙂

What IS up with Rayhan, maybe he got an acceptance without interview and doesn't want to brag!! That would be so awesome.

Hey, GD...lol...the diary story wasn't bad. But I love the walking into a stop sign story though. I have the same trouble sometimes. I found out in the most embarassing ways that I can not strut.

Hah.....I wish. I just called Drexel and the reviwers are picking up my file today. So, hopefully I get an invite from Drexel which has rescued so many from this thread.

hoberto said:
Bump.

No word from any school for me yet.

How's it going with the rest of you?


Yeah, I'm still waiting for my first allo invite. This process is killing me.

I had to bump this back from page 5 😱
Rayhan, my husband thinks I am having an affair. There I was all sloppy drunk on Friday, watching Curb your Enthusiasm, and talking about how important it was that I get Rayhan an interview. Could I fake a LOR? Could I make a call on his behalf (after all I am a professor, not one that would help anybody, but they don't have to know that)?

He just looked at me and chalked it up to the 90 Schilling.

I really don't get it. You have very solid stats. You are obviously funny and charming. Have you considered sending schools your avatar? LOI?

:laugh: :laugh: If this post is any indication, your LOR is sure to get me in. I am sending an updated letter and I'll cut and paste my avatar just to show how much I want it.

Rayhan,
if you are going to send in your avatar, mb you should change to will work at interview 🙂

and new week of silence begins
 
wow guys I had to rescue this thread from the NINTH page!

I know I'm in the one-interview group, but I couldn't even FIND that thread, and besides I feel like I belong more here anyway. Plus I don't think there's anyone left in the one-interview crew. Plus I just got three more rejections (=7!!!!!)

Anyone want to commiserate?

No one else in the one interview group! That makes me sad 🙁 ... I guess I'm the only one.. One is the loneliest number indeed!

:laugh:
 
I just don't get how I could possibly be at the bottom of every school's review pile... I applied to 27 schools, most complete in August and September, and have only heard one thing so far: a Vanderbilt rejection. I guess I appreciate them all not rejecting me flat out at the beginning, but... a little love wouldn't hurt either.

Don't worry, you're not at the very bottom. You've got to be above me at the very least. 😉

i am also in the one intrerview group, so you are not alone! we need to resurrect that thread.
ever since gdbaby got an acceptance, i think that thread is not seeing as much action, hehe.

Oh! I didn't know gdbaby got an acceptance... congrats gdbaby! (wherever in the aether she is....) I couldn't even find the thread.... go bubbleyum, go!
 
i too am in the one interview group...*sigh*
 
just curious, who is still with the big fat zero group?
 
Well, no school called me up on Turk Day to beg me to interview. So, still no interview.

Where's Rayhan??
 
I am bumping this, because there is a certain someone lurking this morning who needs to inject some humor into this godforsaken group!

Rayhan, this means you!!!!
 
Hey Hoberto and GD.

I'm still here. I've just been busy figuring out which testicle to staple to my letter of interest to guarantee an interview.

I also finally got around to buying a video game and have started rotting my brain playing it. I figured, I am not using my brain cells anytime soon and the way this cycle is going I won't be using them for medical school either, so....Grand Theft Auto and True Crime: Streets of New York can have them.

Called up Vermont this morning, they said they'll be sending out a bunch of letters soon before christmas informing of invites or otherwise. I always thought Vermont sent out invites via e-mail. Meh...we'll see.
 
Well it's good to know that by Christmas I can cross Vermont off my list for any possible interview. Bleh!

Hey how is the new GTA?

I was thinking the exact same thing.
 
Since this thread really shouldn't be about people talking about having no interviews, I will jump on the video game kick. I can't play any of the new ones. The last video game I played was Super Mario Brothers at my friend's house my jr year of high school.

So imagine how excited I was when I saw that Bed Bath and Beyond was selling and Intelevision mini-pack of their top sellers: Baseball, Space Invaders, Hockey and one other one I don't remember. You just plug it into the TV and go.

That Bed Bath and Beyond sure sells a lot of "Beyond."

I got San Andreas...it's not bad considering this is my first exposure to the GTA genre. The graphics are good and the ability to do whatever and raise hell is refreshing. I also got Simpsons Hit and Run and True Crimes Streets of NY. And out of all of them the Simpsons is the best game, in my opinion.
 
Really? GTA is the only video game I've ever liked, with the exception of Sega Genesis' James Pond II, in which you are a lobster (?) running around a candy land.

Vice City is the best.

I don't see how anyone can enjoy those "virtual reality" games. It's as fun as running in one place.
 
Speaking of running in place and video games, does anyone remember the Nintendo Power Pad, or am I dating myself? I swear that was the sweatiest endeavor of all time.
 
Ha! I do remember that thing.

You gotta love Intelevision's Baseball. That umpire-like sound yelling "Yer Out!" in garbled tones!

Ok, I remember the power pad, I think... was that the one you used for track and field and for the long jump you would just step off of the pad and your little likeness dude on the screen would keep jumping? Yes, I was a superstar.
and gd, is it a slow morning or something? You've been awfully busy this morn.... Let's blame the snow, shall we? (Yes, that's the royal we.)
Oh, and I'm canceling my only interview so far, so let's add me to the list, ok?

😱 😱 😱 Why cancel your only interview??? Do we need to have an intervention?
 
ShyRem said:
desired, why are you canceling your interview?!?
It's at UNM, yes right below you in CO. And I don't want to go there. I worked in a lab there for 3 years and I've watched their rankings drop from #2 a few years ago to 27th this year. Now, I'm not a rankings ***** (I can't afford to be with my stats!) but the school hasn't done anything to improve in a long time - curriculum, facilities, recruiting better faculty.... And I'm tired of living in Albuquerque. 21 out of 25 years in one place ain't easy.
Oh, and they interview everyone who applies. I got an invite without submitting a 2º, without MCAT scores (and without a 2º fee, I can't complain about that)... I already delayed it once, initially they wanted to schedule it in early Oct., well before my scores arrived.

I am trying to avoid writing a lecture on globalization. I cannot avoid it any longer as the class is today at 1 pm!

But I am also trying to be funny to mask the frustration I feel about Colorado. Desired, maybe you should just go to the interview for the practice.

😱 But think of the children.

Seriously, Desired, I don't want to sound like an overbearing asshat but you must go to that interview. You have posted good reasons but come on, you have gots to go man. If not for yourself, then at least do it for us "cool people with no interviews yet" or CPWNIY and just think of the children. So, please reconsider your decision and give it a shot.


P.S. Mods, we need a sad, puppy-eyed, "please" emoticon, please.

So, should I delay it again? Tell them I'm going out of town...for a relative's surgery.... again? (He's so ill! I just have to go! Ok, he actually is having surgery next week, but the lady in the office is a turd and gave me shít last time when I did delay it because I actually went out of town for his surgery. Yes, this ho had the gall to tell me I should rethink going to a relative's surgery.) If I do delay it I'm going to tell her "If you need to get ahold of me - 281-330-8004, hit me up on the low."

I would say just get it over with, like stripping off a band-aid.
 
Since, I have not been the recepient of any good news for a long time, I am trying to find joys in everyday things and find a reason to celebrate. Hoberto, Nakherwali, GD and anyone else who needs cheering up might try to do the same.

Things that get me giddy as a schoolgirl:
(a) You've got mail - I am positively ecstatic when I see a number other than zero next to my little AOL mailbox icon, be it spam or otherwise. If it's a spam advertising a 12 inch penis, I say why not, it'll be a good converation starter.
(b) Junk mail - "you have been pre-approved" or "you may have won a million dollars"...pop open the champagne, 'cause it's about damn time.
(c) Telemarketing calls: Do I want a satellite dish or change my phone provider, why the hell not....change is good.
(d) Popups - let's make a game of it too see how many I can eliminate in an hour and try to beat that record.

If you pursued every one of these spams that promised to increase your dick size by 3" you'd probably have a 7 foot long dick by now.... just saying, that's all.
