This process is soo funny. You think to yourself allll I have to do is get a great score on the MCAT, that will make my dream come true (starry eyed exaggeration but still) then you end up cutting your right hand off because carpal tunnel syndrome from writing personal statements, secondary essays, letters of intent, thank you cards and whatever else may come our way.
Then you wait, a hellva lot more then you thought you ever would and deff more then you were told you would wait to get interviews, acceptances, even rejections take time..
But Alas, you got your first acceptance. (if not you keep waiting). But its to a GREAT state school just not the school you hope/feel you belong with and would benefit and contribute too. But do they accept you? Maybe, more likely waitlist you untill the students who werent planning on going there anyway get into Hopkins or Harvard or some other H school and finally withdraw leaving the waitlist to trickle in drop by drop. It amazes me that some of the top tier schools have classes predominately from their waitlist!
So you got an acceptance, your waitlist waiting and you realize as we on this thread do that WOW REAL life issues like renting contracts and moving and basically $ are just another part of this process.. HAH 😀
And you know what??
It is totally worth it, being a physicain is a priviledge few will experience. I would do it again if I had too. Hang in there.
