With 20 interviews, according to your MDApps? I guess that proves that no amount of interviews is enough to be cured of this feeling.
My Penguin friend, you have nothing to worry about.
I feel the same exact way (with 9 under my belt), but at least I only have 4 more to go. The end is in sight, and I literally cannot wait to be able to attend class regularly again. Which is the last thing I thought I'd ever say, but there you have it. But, as a few others have said, dispel your fears of not getting into medical school. You absolutely will.
Hey hey we're tied!!! I've done 8, 5 more left. I am definitely in the exact same boat... Cannot cannot wait to get back into a schedule of normalcy, though I'm beyond grateful for the good fortune and adventures I've had. I'm just tired of travel, tired of spending days trying to make people like me/believe in me/judge me favourably, tired of being completely socially isolated from home, tired of the insecurities. Im not sure if anyone else is in the same boat, but I didn't quite anticipate the emotional exhaustion of this cycle. It exposes all sorts of vulnerabilities, that's for sure! But I think I'll emerge as a stronger person for having these experiences, which is ultimately positive
@ProbablyAPenguin, I completely relate to your worries but let me assure you that you are a freaking rockstar, and you will ABSOLUTELY get into a fabulous school this year. No doubt in my mind. I get that it's sometimes hard to escape the persistent doubts and fears and self-criticism, -- goodness knows I struggle with it on a daily basis. But just know that we all believe in you, and are proud of everything you've accomplished.
It's normal to feel worn out by this grueling and exhausting process, but you'll be very pleased with the end result!!
Awwww... y'all are my favorite people ever So kind
Though fo realz - I'm totes not a rock star. Like I've said before, if any of you meet me in real life you'll just be confused by what a derp I am
