"No acceptance yet" SDNers

[darkmatter]

Members do not see this ad.

I'm not exactly new to this board, I've just been a silent reader. But lately I'm frustrated with having no acceptance yet. It looks like a lot of you have been accepted somewhere. While I'm still in the pot of pre-med brew, stirred slowly by the witchy congregation called the admissions committee. Is there a soul whom I can rest my weary limbs, my aching back and my moneyless pockets? Who else like I, have been a slave to that jeering mailbox, oppressed by that frenzied e-mail and ignored by that contemptuous phone? Is there another still floating in the limbo of indecisions?

OK, I'm done venting. If you want to join my club, add your name, and at least I will know I'm not alone.

 

[mpp]

I'm with you...

 

[Doctora Foxy]

Me too!! I know exactly how you feel. I don't have any acceptances yet either. Today I checked my mailbox 5 times and I sat by my email all day....I am becoming very obsessed. But don't worry, we'll hear some good news soon.....it only takes one acceptance 🙂 Otherwise I'll have to change my name to Nurse foxy 🙁

Buena Suerte!

p.s. nice quote...I literally walk around all day with my fingers crossed

 

[darkmatter]

We'll make it... at least I can say at this point tin time, that one acceptance will be the sweetest feeling.

 

[El Jefe]

I haven't got any either. But there's still time... 🙄

 

[vyc]

me too!

it's quite painful!

 

[Jalby]

Me niether. 8 interviews, but nobody has given me the positive response yet. I should have said I liked Milwaukee.

[I got in]

No body is showing me any love either. 🙁 🙁 🙁

 

[Mystique]

May I join? What's the membership fee? Oh wait, am I going to have to do some secret ritual??

No one has shown me any love either...I've had 5 interviews and and 2 more scheduled in Feb...but alas, no one loves me. 🙁

I may very well look into clown school...anyone else want to apply with me?

 

[darkmatter]

Watchamacallit, it's just a side effect of writing a lot of essays as it is in the wonderful world of gettingintomedschool.

 

[El Jefe]

Is it just me or is that "Accepted, Waitlisted, Rejected" thread with like 260 acceptances tallied the most depressing thread? <img src="graemlins/pity.gif" border="0" alt="[Pity]" />

 

[Mystique]

I don't even read that thread anymore...it's depressing for me. Of course...it wouldn't be like that if some school would offer me an acceptance. I know how you feel... <img src="graemlins/pity.gif" border="0" alt="[Pity]" />

 

[BushBaby]

I have had two interviews and two rejections. I have 3 other schools that I am hoping with save me from myself.

 

[Amy B]

My mailman thinks I am in love with him. He sees me everyday sleeping, eating and holding a 24 hour vigil next to my mailbox. I jump up and down in eager anticipation screaming excitedily in an incoherently as I watch him drive down my road...........

Ok, I am exaggerating, I only stay out there for 12 hours not 24 hours.

Let's keep up our hopes!!!!

 

[darkmatter]

260 acceptances from that thread? I've got tears to shed. One congratulatory tear of joy for every acceptance made and one reflective tear of sorrow for every seat taken.

 

[Tweetie_bird]

Hi guys,
I have not applied yet, but I wanted you to know that you guys have our sympathy...ofcourse, all this can change by just one acceptance, and I am really rooting for you all!

i have read posts from almost each and every one of you, and it breaks my heart to see that eloquent, helpful, team-work people like you guys don't have acceptances (yet). You are in my thoughts. Please, if any of you see some love from any schools, make a BIG BOLD POSTER out of it, and flash it all over SDN. We feel like we are going through these troubles with you, but we would also like to see you succeed when you do. It will give future applicants like me some hope...and make us proud to have each and every fellow SDN make it to school this year that applied.

[A. Caveman]

i'll join this club, although i hope, like we all do, to be out of it by may.

 

[StitchEM]

Sign me up, although I think it is too early to be awash in <img src="graemlins/pity.gif" border="0" alt="[Pity]" /> graemlins. Stay cool all, our day will come and we will triumph! 😎

Hey, I created that thread! 🙁

besides, if it's any comfort there are also 267# of rejections?

 

[Lily2]

Every kind of corespondence from med schools except the ONE... so count me in the club.

 

[HardlyDavidson]

You can always count on ol' Jack to warm y'all up in the no acceptances club. I don't want to curse myself either... so bye. AHHHHH I can't get out of here!!! Ahhhhh haa ahaa I need to go to bed now.

I love you all,
Jack

 

[glacierdropsy]

I'm right there with you guys. May we all be very happy at the end of this application cycle so we never have to endure it again.

 

[Dr. Don]

I'll join the list...but unlike some of my peeps, I have not even gotten any interviews.... 🙁 where's the love? I'm crossing my fingers for UCLA....come on baby, I'm an alumni, my wife is a bruin, the area is great, I've kicked ass in your undergrad courses, who's your DADDY? ok now I'm talking out of my ass, but really best of luck to everyone, hopefully it will all change soon,
DON

 

[otter]

I regret to say that I belong in this category, too... as of now

 

[imtiaz]

I'm with you guys too. No sort of correspondence whatsoever from these schools. No interviews. :/

 

[EMTgirl]

i'm in this club too...but hopefully not for long. at least we all know how much this SUCKS!may we never, ever have to endure this process again. good luck you guys. remember, all we need is that lucky ONE!!

 

[Medical123]

I am joining the club also. Two rejections so far and nothing from the other schools. The waiting is driving me insane!

 

[serpiente]

Count me in. Waitlists suck!!!!!

 

[gabbers22]

I'm in this category as well...no acceptances and only one interview which was at my state school. 🙁 ((

 

[labrat]

I too am a card carrying member. No acceptances and no interviews. 🙁

 

[willbeMD]

I'm jumping into the mix as well. As they say, misery loves company. I've had interviews, but no big envelope in the mail. I am completely absorbed by this whole process!! It's ALL I think about all day. I'm glad you guys are here though, or I think it would be even harder! Good luck to all!! 😉

 

[oneironaut]

Uff, wheres the punch? Seems we have a small party here. (I assume everyone's dressed in black.) Yeah, no little envelopes full of love here either. Still maintaining hope though. 🙄

 

[nebula7]

sadly, I belong in this club too..for now anyway. I hope we all can leave soon, and join the Accepted SDNers. Good luck everyone!

 

[AmateurChef]

I'll join the club. Now we wait, together...

 

[USeF]

tweetie, you're a sweetie!
I remember being in your shoes last year. I felt like the little kid in pajamas sitting on the carpet in the den looking at the older kids play cards or talk politics. They paid me little to no attention, but I didn't mind just watching. KNowing all along that one day, I'm going to grow up and be JUSt like them. 🙂

now go run along now in the field of MCAT dreams while us grown-ups talk of no acceptances 😉

It's still January. The MCAT dreams don't start coming till March at the earliest...

 

[kiddiedr]

Count me in the club too! Hey, can we add this to our list of extracurriculars too now??!! <img src="graemlins/laughy.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughy]" />

I'm still waiting to hear about interviews first...bummer.

On a happy note tho, I just got my EMT-B certification yesterday! 😀

 

[aldo16]

i'm in this one too.....one interview at my state school and got waitlisted there....no other interviews and still 16 schools out there!!

like someone else here said, i have to say that SDN has made this TERRIBLE process a lot better. I'm out of school now, and you guys are the only informed and understanding people I can talk to.

(as opposed to family/friends who all say "Oh, you'll get in" without knowing 2 bits about this process)

 

[adpi_med]

Oh Hello! I am glad this thread exists. I run to the mailbox every day waiting for a "fatter envelope." Just remember, it takes only one....

 

[old lady]

I like this thread! This is what has been so great about SDN for me - talking to other people who are going through the same thing as me. But lately, so many of them are accepted, trying to decide where to go, etc. I can't relate! I am just hoping for that one acceptance so I don't have to start studying for the MCAT again!

 

[abefroman]

I'm right there too. Still waiting for that first thick envelope. I thought with a 3.9 and a 37R I'd have gotten one already. I'm an August MCATer though. Hopefully it will all work out in the end.

 

[mpp]

Abe,

Perhaps if you mailed them one of your finer sausages it would butter them up a bit...

 

[djipopo]

i have to stick my "duke" in too, still waiting . . . i hope we all keep each other posted.

 

[abefroman]

MPP: I'm not at the sausage-desperation point yet, but it's getting close. I mean Northwestern hasn't even invited me for an interview. Don't they know about my reputation in Chicago! But once somebody does let me in, I'll be sure to give them a fine rendition of "Danka schoen."

 

[Ciardeme]

Okay, i just want to know already. I mean let's face it, i bombed the August MCAT. I need closure. I really wouldn't mind the 11 remaining rejections (even if they all arrived on the same day). I just want to know. It would make studying for the April MCAT all the more significant. Anyone with me?

 

[Medical123]

I wish that the schools would tell me something one way or the other. I have an opportunity to apply for a more prestigious, higher paying position at work and don't know whether or not to do so. It would look rather crappy of me to take this position(assuming I get it) and then turn around and go to medical school in 6 months, but on the other hand, it is kind of unfair for me to give up a better opportunity that would better benefit me should I never get accepted to medical school. I don't know what to do. Medical school is my ultimate dream, but I don't want to jeopardize the career I have and not ever get in. This waiting is really starting to get to me.

 

[Doctora Foxy]

just in case I don't get accepted, is it too late to start studying for the april mcat?
I've been optimistic, but i'm getting worried cuz if i don't retake them this year, i'll have to take two years off after graduating, and i'd rather not

 

[Rhiana]

Alas, I to must join this club. I have but on interview from the whole mess of secondaries and everything I hope and dream of is riding on this interview.
No pressure though.

 

[Katie]

I was a member of this club last year all the way until July 16. Keep your chin up, it ain't over til it's over..
