don't suck! it'll be O.K. maybe you should go and see a movie or something that will change your mood, maybe Patch Adams or something. 😀 😀

This is no attitude to have. I totally suck, yet I try to convince myself that I don't. It works.

Its frustrating....I know. Allow yourself time to be angry, pissed off and despondant....then pull it together and continue the uphill battle.

I have been there...and made it through...almost....

sorry about the negativity
i'm totally ok with taking a year off and reapplying...i was just a little disappointed last night (i got a rejection letter from Indiana U - my fave choice). but here's to next year! 👍

things are looking up 🙄 the sun is shining, it's a beautiful day. 😀

and best of all (and this is what cheered me up when i reapplied) you're a seasoned pro at this process...none of it will come as a total surprise...you've been to at least one interview? the rest aren't as nerve racking...you've learned the ins and outs of the whole thing, so if you do have to reapply, you can relax and do even better than you did this cycle...see? it IS a beautiful day....oh, and take some time to travel this year that you get off..(whether that means weekend driving trips or major holiday ones) 🙂

I feel like I suck too, so don't worry you're not alone. Being waitlisted is the worst kind pf psychological torture--one day you feel good about yoyurself and have hope, the next day you feel like the biggest loser on earth. Hang in there and good luck!

Man, let me tell you guys and gals something. There is NO method to the madness of the admissions committee. It's all about luck and being at the right place at the right time. I applied to 3 in-state medschools, got waitlisted at all 3. Was ready to reapply early decision to one of them when I got an acceptance into one during the first week of class. When I met the people in my class, I realized that about 30% were complete *******es who only liked to party. Luckily, almost all of them didn't make it to the end. Some had GPAs of 2.9 - 3.3, while some had MCAT scores of 23-26. Which made me realize that these admissions folks aren't looking for the smartest of the bunch. To think that all of these folks got in over me (GPA 3.8, MCAT 31), just boiled my blood. And yes, I went to a very difficult undergrad school where a 3.0 will get you on the DEAN'S list. NO, I am not from the state of california. Now that I look back at it, I realize the biggest mistake I made was to not have a SOLID backup plan. So, if you don't get in, don't be down on your self. Just make up a good backup plan, reapply, and go enjoy a movie. Just my 2 cents.

Wow, lonestar, your medical school has a failure rate of about 30%? Which school is this, just out of curiousity?

I really feel for you guys. I was waitlisted last year and that was just the worst summer of my life. staring at the phone, waitin for it to ring. and yes lonestar, i did the same, wondered why some pple with lower scores got in over me. it's just torture. I have you all in mind who are waiting and I'm just totally prayin for ya, it is pure hell. I kept my head up for a year and got in, so you can do it too! and sure, there'll be some days where you think u totally suck, but just think that you will make it if you really want it. Good good luck, I can't say it enough!

Oh gosh. I know this feeling all too well. How do you get through the bad days because you never can tell if the next day is going to be a feeling good or a feeling bad kind of day?

Good luck with everything. Keep telling yourself that it will all work out.
