i believe that most applicants deserve to be physicians some day because your patience and determination, as exhibited during this horrific application process, is a testament to the perseverance and care you will one day display for a patient in need. sure, we were late with our applications. sorry we didn't submit our primary in June and our secondaries to July. congrats to all those who were admitted in october, you definitely deserve it for getting your stuff together.
for any applicants out there who are at the moment doubting themselves or getting nervous, JUST remember that this application is FAR from over and have FAITH. in the end, what's the worse that happens? sure, we lost a bunch of money and time, and for a lot of us, that money and time were hard to come by. but we are still whole, conscious, and hardworking human beings. stay the course, and if it doesn't work out, life still finds a way of piecing it all together.
sorry to get all sentimental on this thread but if all you late applicants are anything like me, any and all support in the form of encouraging words is always greatly appreciated!
much

to everyone!
