By more hours in the day, I meant more hours before I go to sleep. Midnight isn't the end of the day.

Sometimes I randomly think of Forrest Gump.

Starting to feel bad for spamming gifs.

I'm in the early stages of creating a gif thread in the lounge. Hopefully it works, then I can leave you all alone.

I would like to catch up with 2016, but it seems I'm the only 2017er who cares.
 
So as stressed out as I am about not having an ii at my top school, I keep coming back to how much of a relief it is to have been accepted.

Anyone else waiting to hear back from their top choice?

That was a lot of pages to get through on the mobile app. Lol
I didn't really have a "top choice" really, so the last one I interviewed at, which was also the last acceptance I got, was good enough for me!

Waiting post-interview on a couple of schools vying for that top spot, though thankfully they're competing with somewhere I'm already accepted. 😀 👍

Also wondering if that mythical second wave of IIs will include me, but doubting it since I was complete August/September.

Ugh same. I'm really hoping for an interview at one more school.
 
Got it down to 145 ppd needed for 20k.

Idk if I can do this for another month.

I got a few II's in the second wave. I'm sure you will get some more.

I am still waiting to hear about interviews closer to home but those come out in the next few weeks (they aren't rolling)

So did you apply in Canada and the US?

Not stressed, it's just that your drowning everyone else out. It was cool to know what the 2017ers were like. Now I just know that you like to post gifts. Not a big deal, but I come here to share med app frustrations with other premeds, now that's gone.

what frustrations would you like to share at the moment?

I'd like to share that I'm learning how to section/core/stain unfixed frozen human tumor tissues at work from a very limited supply that's been collected over 10+ years and the thought of ****ing up and wasting tissue has been seriously stressing me out. Good motivation not to mess up I suppose. 😳

So there are a 141 U.S. medical schools. I just realize that I will have interviewed at 10% of U.S. medical schools by the end of application season. Something seems wrong with that.

I was going to talk about having gone on to many interviews and how inefficient the current system is. If you could get answers earlier from your top choices, one could save personal and school resources.

I also remember LizzyM talking about how tedious the process is.

How would you go about reorganizing things to make the system more efficient?

Make a system where schools can only have a certain amount of apps at a time. They would have to reject the applicants they really don't like.

So instead of spending time sorting through the ones they do like and sending ii, you want schools to find the ones they don't like and reject them first?

isn't that what the EDP is all about

Plus schools have to compare the application pool to see who the best applicants for their program is and that takes time

Plus they can't predict at the beginning what they'll want/need at the end to balance out the class. They need to keep people around just in case.

the alternative would be a non rolling system which can be worse.

First you apply then you wait to see if you make the cut off for a full file review. Then you wait and see if that review got you an interview. Then you interview and wait while they again give you a whole new file review. Then you wait with all your friends and see where you fell (its the worst when people get in around you and you don't or when you wait months just to find out you didn't even make it to a file review)

You mean the panic thread?!

I'm not really seeing the problem... I totally understand the work thing though and will refrain from most images/gifs during regular business hours.
