I fear the Einstein Letter

I really fear teh einstein letter because I honestly feel like it will be a rejection and I don't want to experience that sinking feeling again. Its just awful, especially after all the years of work and sacrifice and then to not get in somewhere because of my mcat score (25) is just terrible. Why did I even get an interview? Then, I feel like I blew the interview also....sorry..but i needed to vent my frustrations.

well, just expect to get rejected so if you get in it will rock and if you don't you were already expecting it.

hey, when does Einstein send out their letters anyway?

Hey, TheDr. Cheer up, man! You didn't blow anything! You've worked extremely hard over these years, and yes, the mcat is frustratingly important in this process, but all that work is not destroyed by a test score. I think Rengar's advice is useful for your sanity. Einstein definitely seems like a difficult school to get accepted to post-interview (as indicated by that other einstein thread). You got interviewed because some app. reviewer thought there was something special about you. Don't lose sight of that.
If perchance you get some bad news in the upcoming weeks, please try to keep reminding yourself of your accomplishments. There are many on this board who have reapplied to medical school and have gotten in on subsequent attempts. Try to keep it together and stay focused on the goal. Good luck!

yeah man...

there are a lot of us with 30s out here that wont even get the time of day from Einstein so be glad you got an interview...and try to be optimistic about your chances. they interviewed you because they saw something in you that they didnt see in thousands of others. if you dont get that outright acceptance...its not the end of the world. always have a chance with waitlists and everything.

stay strong...

i know, but i think i was sooo nervous and set on impressing einstein because I WAS given an interview I made myself stumble. I should have asked for another interview...what was I thinking????? but then again, nobody knows if their interview went well or not I guess.

theDr.,
If by some chance you do not get in, there is still hope. Just remember you still can apply again in June to a lot of schools and you should be fine. In other words, have a back up plan. If it is bad news, you can be sad for a little while, but then move on to bigger and better things.

Don't fret man. I too had an awful interview at Einstein. Haven't gotten my letter yet because I'm at home, but I've heard plenty of stories of people with "AWFUL" interviews who then get in. You never know.

I also wish I had that list of acceptances like you.
