Concerned with the complete lack of response

Not having heard back from any of the schools I applied to has caused concern that I may have made an error somewhere along the way, and that the schools are simply not reviewing my application. At least if I had a single Pre-II R, I would know that they read my app and made a decision. Can anyone relate to this feeling? I understand that the truth is I'm either silently on hold or haven't been reviewed yet, but having submitted as early as possible for every school, I'd expect to have received at least some feedback so far.

No news at this point is good news, it is still so early. Instead, if you had an R within a month of submitting you would probably be posting about if you had done something wrong to have them reject you so quickly. Just don't think about it and take the time to touch grass or something else you enjoy.

Stay busy. Many schools leave people on limbo for a long time!

As of right now, you are rejected , so work on Plan B for the reapplication.

Thank you both. I suppose I will use it as motivation for this semester and try not to dwell on it. My next plan for today is to touch grass 🙂

Write poetry! Reddit is getting hilarious. There was one really really funny one that referenced SDN but I can't find it now.

O Admissions, why dost thou mock my quest?
Have I not toiled, and given all my best?
Eight hundred fifty hours in clinic’s keep,
While thou, unmoved, in thine committee sleep.

A thousand hours in service, freely spent,
Yet still thy silence is thine sole consent.
Two papers published, writ with scholar’s might,
But thou seest not, though blinded by the light.

Dost thou seek jesters, clowns with empty deeds,
While true devotion withers, choked by weeds?
If merit earns not even one invite,
Perchance thy judgment, not my worth, is slight.

So keep thy scrolls, thy portals locked and tight—
Another school shall crown me with delight.
