Me too! What's really sad is that I've not heard from a couple of programs that I have decided to not accept--even if they offer; and yet, I still check just to see if they've downloaded! MGH telephoned me this week to inform me that I am still waiting on two LORs. DUH! I'm not even seriously considering their program--it's out of my league; but, I spent the next hour stressing over those LORs! How sick am I?

i've applied to some programs that are SOO WAY out of my league (Columbia Presby) but I still look at the "track applications" like every 5 minutes to see if they've downloaded my stuff.....

to make things worse, I'm studying for Step 2 but check the computer after like every paragraph!!!

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! WHEN WILL THIS AGONY END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😕 😕

Stony Brook gave me an offer via ERAS at 10:20 PM...I thought I was hallucinating when I saw that....maybe a side effect of checking ERAS so many freakin' times that I am "seeing" interviews being offerred at that late at night...

and BTW, YES...I DO check ERAS on Sundays and Saturdays!!

So there IS some advantage/incentive for me to keep checking like every 5 minutes EVEN on the weekends!

I'm officially "off" of ADTS, so much negative reinforcement has finally taken its toll and I've quit... 😡


or at least cut back to 5 times a day. 😡 😡

 

[kima]

thank God, I thought I was the only obsessive compulsive here, I am cchecking the damn ADTS like every 2mn 😱
well 2 rejections from UMD and York in PA, no invites yet ...really starting to freak out

anybody else applied on 10/3 but hasn't been invited yet? Now I am starting to hope that the lousy programs to which I applied as a back up will invite me...how pathetic is that :-(
