If u get rejected...

[nochaser]

...what will you do? Reapply? Go to grad school? Get a job in your major field? teach? Do more extra currics/research? What?If I did not get in this cycle, i would probably try and get a job as closely related to health care field as possible and reapply. Of course, this question is just outta curiosity, cuz I know all SDNrs' are getting in this time!!!

I'd go work for AMCAS, and make sure things go as smoothly as they did for this year

hehe
Watacha you just kill me!

Personally, I'd go on to a Ph.D program.

I'm an antrhopology major, which as a friend of mine put it, will give me "a degree in how to be unemployed," so I suppose I will reapply

Peacecorps!!!

If I don't get in this year, I'm going to be a rock star.

Assuming I will never get in, I would enlist in the Navy and then reassess what I want to do with my life, whether it be a PhD in my major (mathematics), or something else entirely.

If there is a chance that I will get in eventually then I will reapply, or die trying.

I want to be a model - I aspire to look upon the nation's largest city by being on one of those large billboards.

Whatcha you seem to love contradicting everything I say today. Let's not hate. I'll hook up you don't worry.

Im glad to see that most of the people who replied to this are pretty sure they are getting in. nochaser, I would probably do any of the things you mentioned. Whatever fits you the best. In my humble opinion, medical schools seem to be looking for folks who have a good head on their shoulders, and are sure they want to persue medicine. Prove yourself to them. Also, have you thought of going straight to the source? If you get denied, go to the school you wanted to get into most, and ask! Working in an UNDERGRADUATE admissions office, I know that folks often just throw up their hands when they get rejected, and look to be rockstars or models. Admissions officers have phones, and can be talked to. They are not in a dark, smoke filled room with no contact in or out. ASK. Whats the worse that can happen, they deny you to talk to someone?

[Scooby Doo]

You know it baby!!(if you are a girl)
I always thought you were a guy

[E'01]

That's woman to you buddy. You thought I was a guy? Didn't think that a woman can be sooooooo successful with the med school process?

Okay I think i'm gonna tick people off with these non-medically related posts. No more. I'll see you at C & Dales

Well, I'm alredy in, but I left behind a lucrative career in porn... I have to tell myself daily I made the right choice...

 

[daveshnave]

Okay seriously, I'm wasn't a porn star... big surprise. As I mentioned I'm in now, but only after several times reapplying. I worked for a couple years in a field I love... pharmaceutical research, specifically as a synthetic chemist. I loved to tell people who asked that I made drugs for a living. Finally I realized my apps weren't really changing and that I needed to do something about it, so I went to do a post-bacc program... and the rest is history. I also spent my time playing in a band and playing shows all over Southern California for a couple years. I wasn't exactly a rock star (that requires actual fame), but I had a great time nevertheless, and miss it now. (Who knows, Neil Diamond dropped out of med school to pursue his music career... ya just never know...)
