So Basically, without revealing too many details on an online thread, and without boring you all with an absolutely horrible, but really long story, I kept sending letters of interest etc to a school, and hadnt gotten any responses....my premed advisor told me that calling wouldnt make a differnce given my absolutely abysmal and "non competitive enough" stats (http://www.mdapplicants.com/viewprofile.php?myid=16390). (I asked a couple x's...kept telling me dont call, letters might matter, at this particular school, phone calls might just bother them and you dont wanna risk that).
I finally tought, you know what, Its worth risking it and making the call today, just to keep myself "in their face" and whatever...anywhooooo
to make a long story short, due to a "glitch in the system" (a quote), my application was misplaced (they converted to an online submission this summer). I applied in August, got notification....check was cashed.... Its now december. This was my top choice school. I was waitlisted there last year. I am beyond beyond devistated. These are those horror stories I always hear, but never thought could actually hapen to me.
I faxed them a signed copy of the PDF copy of my application that they emailed me today (yup! they HAD it...It just was "misplaced"), they needed another signature. I HAND delivered another copy of ths application they emailed me, along with: letter of interest/intent/update/requesting[read: begging for] an interview, and my CV.
Is there anyone else that I can call or email or I dont know?? A copy of my newest publication? I dont know!! This is really my top choice school, for so many reasons. I was in love with them last year, interview went really well, I loved everything about it, but interviewed late, so I wasnt expecting anything more than a waitlist. I applied really early this year, and fine, mistakes happen, whatever. I just would do anything for them to consider me. PLEASE!! I am like beyond devistated, I dont know who to turn to .
TIA :-\
