Interview Paranoia

AHH I'm so sorry guys, my neuroticism is through the roof! I've been overthinking a conversation I was having with other applicants during one of my interview days. We were all talking about how many schools we each applied to, and I mentioned mine was in the 30's. Anyway they all asked how it was filling out secondaries and stuff...and I stupidly blurted out somewhere along the conversation that for some secondaries + schools that didn't seem like a good fit, I withdrew my application.

This conversation took place at a very service-driven school, so at first I didn't think it was bad to mention that I wasn't interested at all in schools that didn't place service to the community at a very high priority. Somewhere in the conversation, I probably also mentioned that I noticed certain schools didn't care about service very much, and that immediately turned me off.

I don't know what the thresh-hold for "talking smack" about other schools are, and I don't know if what I said is considered insulting other schools. (I don't feel like I was...but it might have been a bad move to mention I wasn't into schools that are service-driven).

Anyway, now I'm scared that the staff might have heard me and interpreted that as "insulting" other schools, when I was stating some schools weren't a fit for me (I never mentioned WHICH specific schools, only that there were some). Ugh I need to just keep my mouth shut.

But do NOT combine both!

I think you set the record for number of times goro has prescribed you xanax

Since this has already happened, there is no purpose in worrying about it.

I think you should immediately call up the school and tell them what you meant. No doubt an issue of this importance has left several of the adcoms at the school up late at night with insomnia thinking about your application, and your future as a medical student. I would address it with them ASAP.
