Confessions of an OCD applicant

Okay, so I am applying to 10 places, but there is *one* program in particular that I want more than all others. (great job for sig other, awesome program, just what I am looking for....)

So, about a THOUSAND times a day I check my phone messages, my email, my aamc/eras messages to see if I have received any info. Nothing yet. Click click click...... I have some serious OCD going on about this. You would think I was applying for derm at Hopkins. I would call them and check, but I am afraid I will say something STOOPID. Maybe I can write out a script and call🙂

I *think* I will eventually get an interview, but who knows.... but if I do, I hope I can keep it together. Ugh! I hope I don't barf on my suit!

This reminds me of dating! I hate this feeling!

Okay, thanks for the free therapy session.

Heh...I know what you're going through. I only wanted to match to one particular program, too. It was all I could do to restrain myself during the application period. It's one thing to be enthusiastic, but you don't want to make them file for a restraining order. 😉

Good luck! 👍
