Every time someone posts that they "got the call" from one of the schools I am waiting on, I look at my phone, see it is indeed still working, and that evil voice in my head says, "Of course it's working you idiot...the phone is useful, you are not."
The same thing happens when I check the mail everyday, but is even worse because I actually receive bills instead of good/no news.
Believe me, I feel you...Ive got 2 waitlists, and one decision coming March 15. Its really hard to talk to people about this, unless theyre experiencing it. My boyfriends like "relax, re-apply next year" RELAX? Helllllllloooo! Ive only been working toward this my entire life. Medicine is not a job, it's an enormous part of who I am. I feel like somebody stabbed my dreams, and now theyre bleeding out...and I cant save them BECAUSE I HAVENT GOTTEN INTO MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Okay, I think Im done with the melodrama. For a minute at least. I guess Ill return to obsessively checking my email, my voicemail, and the snail mail. The mailman probably thinks Im psychotic. Oh, well, at this point it's not far from the truth.
I just have to hold it together until 3/15 when I hear from VCU. Then I can have my mental breakdown, good news or bad. The only problem is that's right before finals...my last quarter of undergrad...and if I dont get in, those really need to be good grades. Problem is, if I dont get in, it's gonna be really hard to care about finals.
Good luck everyone!
