anyone pretty much done with interviews (no more invites 🙁 ) and just waiting to hear back? i feel like this application process was really short...august-november, anyone else feel that way?

yeah... i feel the same way... it seems like time is almost up to get any more interview offers... 😳

Feeling the same way. But I would have expected more rejections by now.

One application, one interview, waiting one week... My decision should be in the mail tomorrow.


Hooray for state schools. 😍

Yeah I basically cancelled all my interviews after October, now just waiting to hear from some nonrolling schools. Glad its over. I dont want to go through all this crap again...

Then again, I guess I DO need to get a residency...

You guys impress me. I don't think I could deal with waiting on decisions from non-rolling schools.


I feel like I've been useless this entire week because all I can think about is how I would have answered questions differently or what I'll do if I don't get in...

Pretty much done here...6 interviews down (4 rolling), 1 declined, 3 schools that I haven't heard from in 3 months, and 1 hold (and a partridge in a pear tree). I think it's safe to say I won't get an interview from the hold, and I think I would only go to 1 or 2 of my 3 schools that are left, if they decide to interview me.

But I certainly DON'T feel like the application process was short! It seemed to drag on and on forever.

yeah, i've been done w/interviews for a month now, and the waiting does suck. but there's nothing you can do, and when you have at least one acceptance the waiting is much easier. i may not know WHERE i'll be next year, but i certainly know what i'll be doing for at least the next 7 years of my life. that's rather comforting.

so for everyone else waiting, i feel your pain.

Had my last interview almost a month ago. I'm not holding out much hope on getting any more from a school I'd actually attend. I guess I'm lucky that I got in one of my higher choices really early so I could decline ones that didnt interest me. I'm begging.. UCI USC DREW/UCLA INTERVIEW ME PLEASE!!! ILL GIVE YOU MY FIRST BORN SON AND A GONAD OF YOUR CHOICE!

 

[Amxcvbcv]

Wow, Exmike. Seeing your success combined with your GPA makes me wish I'd been more bold in the schools I applied to. 😛


Basically I'm waiting to hear back from George Washington - post secondary and from my state school post-interview. Two schools - I am a slacker.


33 MCAT, but only 3.3 GPA 🙁

I've had 9 interviews, waitlisted at 5, waiting for rest. It really isn't fun guessing what I will be doing in 8 months. I thought games were supposed to be fun.....so I feel everyone's pain, and btw, if you have an acceptance, you don't feel our pain anymore🙂

 

[finnpipette]

yea...waiting is killing me. Getting into a med school that I really want to attend before break...that'd be the most awesome christmas gift...*sigh*

I've been on 8 interviews (starting in September; my most recent one was on Tuesday). I have one more planned for February. But I'm getting really sick of waiting for these 8 schools. There was one week where whenever I checked my email and there was nothing, I felt like someone had just stabbed me in the gut and I was going to die an exquisitely slow death.

I know I should be grateful that I had the opportunity to interview at 8 schools, but I can't help but be paranoid. I won't be able to breathe a sigh of relief until that first acceptance comes.

But, sometimes, I realize how insignificant this process is in the context of the world. Every day, people in this world starve to death, painfully waste away from lack of access to medication, or children who become orphans because their parents were killed in some arbitrary conflict. I think of the mothers working two jobs to make ends meet, and I know that if I don't get into med school, life will go on. I will move on and make a difference in the world some other way.
