Is anyone ever 100% satisfied with their application?

I keep thinking I'm done but every time I reread my personal statement/activities section, I find something to change or reword. I feel like I'm never going to feel completely "finished." Is this normal?

I also have a question about formatting the PS. AMCAS does not allow indentations, so is non-indented paragraphs with a space between each paragraph ok?

Final question. I already feel so drained and exhausted and haven't even submitted my primary yet. Does anyone feel this way or am I a wimp?

Yes at some point you need to just make your peace with where it is and pull the trigger.


**EDIT** I misspoke here. Did not mean to say yes to your question about being a wimp, was saying yes to your question about do other people feel this way

Rule 1: Take A Breath!

Those could instructions for submitting an application or committing suicide! Oh, could be both in this case.

I find applicants feel either supremely confident of their applications or think they are just crap. Rarely is either group correct

Ha! Yes, probably not the best wording on a forum full of anxious applicants. For absolute clarity - I would like to say I absolutely meant pushing the submit button. Do not shoot yourself or anyone else...

Yeah. lots more of these applications you would put out in the future.

I completely rewrote my PS three times in the five days leading up to submission. Totally normal

Some people have warts on their application as Goro says.

I wasn't 100% satisfied with my app until I got into my first choice.
At some point you've just got to get confident enough to roll the dice and see how it works out.

Better to be the latter group than the former for sure. Would much rather think I have a crappy app and be pleasantly surprised with lots of interviews and acceptances than being super self confident and not getting in anywhere.

I am 100% in this position right now. I have so much anxiety about submitting.
