Hi. As I haven't heard from any schools in the past three weeks I'm beginning to second guess my application. In addition to what is below, I've been small pooled as Rosalind Franklin. Also been on hold at GWU for quite a while.

Have you shadowed? That's the only potential problem I see.
Don't sweat it though, 2 IIs in Early October is fine. These neurotic sdners have got you paranoid!

Even if you don't get accepted, do a smidgen of shadowing and do a post bac and research and places will eat you up next year.

Thanks for the advice. I noticed the same shadowing deficiency in my application. I've done 10 hours of shadowing this month so far with more scheduled. Should I update schools about this prior to receiving an II? Should I wait until I have a "significant" amount of shadowing? What is significant lol?

20+, though 30-50 would be best. This is by no means final advice, but if it were me I'd wait til mid November to send the update letter.
