Third look?! That's getting serious!

I feel like I need another look that's hopefully more rational. Everywhere I went I met amazing people with whom I just want to be BFFs (of which many are SDNers!!! you guys know who you are!). It is really disruptive for the whole decision making process because this kept happening and I kept not being able to think...

Also I totally over-hugged @ladyterp when we met. I promise it will happen again.

The school that admitted me had me send in a deposit, fill out my network credential stuff, and all of the language says stuff about how they're happy I've accepted and they'll see me in August, calling me an incoming Freshman, etc.

This is a stupid question, but I'm serious -- did I accidentally commit myself to a med school? Now that I have an acceptance, it isn't binding in the sense that I can't go anywhere else, right?

No its not binding you can withdraw anytime you want. You may lose your deposit money though.

That deposit was to hold your seat, most likely. Unless it said "BINDING" in some way, then no, you can still withdraw if you get accepted elsewhere.
 
Thanks guys. I think I'm just afraid of commitment in general. I'm pretty sure if super-Harvard had admitted me I'd be like, um, I need to mull this thing over. Olivia Munn could be like, yo, I'm done with Aaron, let's get married, and I'd have to take some time to think about it.

Medicine is a huge commitment, including the applying part. How did you manage that?
 
You know, I thought it over because I realized I'd be doing it for the rest of my life. :shrug:

I don't think it's crazy to wait a week before deciding on a school. But I'm probably more cautious about this stuff than most people, you're right.

I'm not sure why all schools seem to do this... date to only hold one acceptance is 4/30/15 this year. Almost all (except drexel and maybe a couple others) schools refund deposits until that date.

THREE CONSECUTIVE?

*Edit* wait does the easter trip count as 1/3? Because that makes more sense. Haha and you're gone again this weekend too right!?

Yeah, I went 3 schools, one is not their official second look.

I was wondering where your snarky self had gotten to.

In response to the above two quotes. I think it's just psychology. If you feel like you've committed, you're less likely to bounce. It's not binding, though some DO schools have non refundable deposits in the 2-3K range...

Wondering is better than stalking lololol. But that question was asked in earnest - usually people who apply to med school have more or less made the huge commitment already.

It's weird, but if you apply and don't really think you're going to make it, then you don't have to grapple with that decision till it actually happens.

It's like letting the cycle decide for you and then going... HOLY FARK WHAT NOW!

describes me perfectly... I am definitely in the Holy Fark stage right now...
 
As much as I like playing dress up, I'm really looking forward to being able to rock jeans and a sweatshirt from time to time at school.

Gonna have to up my casual wardrobe.

I think a leather jacket and barbour esque waxed cotton jacket will be in order.

I can deal with disappointment more so than uncertainty. At this point of my cycle, I almost wish that everything was black and white, ie accept or reject.

Finished letter for Einstein. Going to edit it for umass tomorrow then call it a day re all this stuff.

I have a fun analysis I get to play with at work tomorrow, so that be cool. I honestly don't even know if the papers going to get published, but it was a blast to figure out how to play with the software and run stepwise regressions.
 
sawed-off checking in!! I've been accepted to my state school in the south and a school in Philly. As much as I love my home state it's time for me to spread my wings! I am so excited (and a little scared!) to be starting a new chapter of my life in Philadelphia at such an awesome school!

Agree, I only wanted an acceptance or a rejection from my #1, it would have been way too much stress to be WL'd. Thankfully they gave me what I wanted and rejected me twice. (thanks duke)

Pat pat! I was also rejected twice pre interview despite that in the secondary completion email they said if I didn't get accepted, "YOU'LL NEVER HEAR FROM US EVER AGAIN". Haha. Dukie Duke
