ok guys, so if some one experienced can enlighten me about this problem i have that would be great...

do anyone of you get kind of frustrated with how we have rolling admissions and it just keeps us hanging?


so now im stuck at considering whether I should reapply (waitlisted). I dont know if I should just assume I wont get in and find something to do, but Im hesitant to find anything long term(6month+) cause if I get off the waitlist then I clearly won't be able to fulfill the time commitment requirement. Even summer programs usually end by like late aug and med schools (if i get off the waitlist) and moving will definitely be before late aug.
So how exactly am I even supposed to try to enhance my application? I've been trying to do my best by shadowing more + volunteer with my current project+ teach parttime at PR, but I feel it makes it impossible for me to find something new to do...

+1 on ur frustration. Though I've been accepted, I am still waiting on a rolling admission and waitlist on my top 2 choices, respectively. This hope of getting into these schools keeps me from committing fully and enjoying just being accepted. And, I can't make a move on living arrangements, summer research, etc.
But if I was in your situation, I would not lose hope. It seems like you are already doing many things to prepare for the worst, and keep sending updates and LOIs. Keep the long term plans on ready and hold till you get on waitlist and depending on where you are on the waitlist, you can follow the long term plans. good luck.
