Don't go on SDN.

Nope, this is a disease and the only cure is to get accepted.
 
🙂 Don't worry about it. Your time will come.
 
make a deal with a friend/family member, that everytime you go on SDN, you have to pay them X amount of money.
 
Go read about Austrian economics, which may lead to buying a little silver/gold bullion. Lobby for Ron Paul and the libertarian perspective. Read about our disastrous system of fractional reserve banking, ownership of the Fed, our absurd wars, the patriot act infringement on our unalienable rights, etc.

After you spend a great amount of time doing such, go inform other people.

I should note, only do such things if you value life, liberty, and prosperity...

Cheers.

Personally, I'd say just keep your head down with school, EC's, social life etc. Nothing you can control at this point. A few weeks ago I had 2 interviews. I thought I was in pretty bad shape. Last week, 4 emails came. Be patient.
 
If they had a SDN phone app...I don't even want to think how long I would be on this website..

I wouldn't be surprised if one of the many geniuses on here are making one now. It may already be in existence. If not, let's not give them anymore ideas. It'll be our own "Angry Birds." :laugh:

Amen Brotha! Good to see some Ron Paul support on here.

They already have one for Android. Costs $0.99

I hope that I did not just cause an epidemic by sharing this news.... Meh whatever haha
 
Oh, and to add a second thought... try finding some personal, uh.... "relief" palmalina and her five friends can do wonders for you. That is of course, if you dont have a close friend of yours to take care of that for you 😎
 
I am in the same boat, no interviews so far 😱
I am like...super nervous...super optimistic
 
Hey I am in the same boat too! SO don't worry were all doing it, freaking out, obsessing and watching others get interviews while we wait for our applications to be looked at...hang in there but your definitely not alone!
 
best advice is to stop worrying about it and limit yourself to checking your email once every 2-3 days (No if it didn't come right now its not gunna be there 5mins later lol) Just enjoy your year off (if youre taking one) or focus on your classes in case you need to apply next year. The ADCOMS aren't gunna be like oh this person has been on SDN a million times since they turned in their app we must accept them NAOW! Just relax, stay optimistic, and remember they don't stop accepting people till the year starts =P

omg...

applied? EARLY SEPTEMBER? NO INTERVIEWS?!?!

how are you keeping your cool? I'd be freaking out too
 
i really appreciate all the advice....i just want to know if i have already been denied admission. imo, outright rejection>>> slow failure

lol

Dude, you have not waited long enough... hence the sarcasm in d-works' post 👍
 
Best way is to keep busy. Play a sport, work out, hang out with friends, play an addicting video game (like World of Warcraft lol), or do w/e your hobbies are. The only time I obsessed was when I was bored and alone.
 
Dude, in relation to the majority of applicants YOU APPLIED LATE so expect it to take some time. I did not get my first interview offer until November, I think, as I too applied late.... now I go to UCSF. The only reason to freak out is if you know that your application sucks i.e. GPA under 3.2 or DAT scores at 17 or so. In that case all the waiting wont help you one bit.

My advice to you is the same as it is to EVERYONE ELSE on this quasi-informative site: R.E.L.A.X.
 
I decided to start a 30-day yoga challenge! We'll see if I even last past the first week though haha
