Hi everybody! It's tough to post on here but I've been lacking confidence lately. It feels like I'm being given a message by med schools that I don't belong in medicine. For context, this is my second time applying to medical school. I was so fortunate to receive 12 interview invitations last year and was waitlisted at over half of those schools. I thought maybe I'd get pulled off a waitlist over the summer but reapplied early in the cycle this year just in case that didn't happen. It didn't happen.
This year, I am so grateful to have 7 interview invitations so far. I recently received my first post-interview decision (waitlisted) and while that was frustrating, it's a position I'm familiar with. I can't help but feel like I'm an unlikeable person, like for some reason, I am making people feel bad while having conversations with them during interviews. I feel like I'm having good, pleasant conversations with people. I'm just trying to be myself and not overthink things, but I can't help but feel like people are perceiving me very negatively and I just can't understand why.
I'd really appreciate any advice or words of wisdom. It would mean a lot to me!
