Hi all,
I know there are tons of posts like these out there, but I can't help but feel a little concerned.
I am a high-stat (LM: 82) applicant with no gap years who submitted all secondaries early (around 10 days for each, done in roughly mid July). I believe I have relatively strong EC's (strong research - 8 publications in mix of basic science and clinical, ~400 hours of clinical experience, and ~250 hours of nonclinical volunteering). I centered my application theme around innovation, given my strong experiences in different kinds of translational research. I don't think I'm the best writer, but I think my essays are at the very least solid given I reviewed them with a lot of people including a writing coach.
Thus far, I've received one interview (in early August), and radio silence since. I applied to a decently top-heavy list, given my stats and application's focus on research. I can't help but feel a little nervous watching a lot of people receive interviews to the schools I applied to in the various online forums.
Am I being overly anxious, or do you think I have cause for concern?
I know it is still relatively early, but I've seen a lot of people say that early interviews are sent out to people who submit early and are higher-stat, meaning I may have been passed up. As I'm typing this, I see that I might be overly neurotic (🥲), but I'd love if anyone can provide any insight.
Thank you!
