[manta]

waiting for decisions from howard, drexel, nymc
waitlists: meharry, njms, temple

 

[goredsox]

Congratulations Lola, Moskeeto, Manta and Phdmed07!!!! Lola and moskeeto, I've seen your names throughout threads for awhile now and you both have been SO helpful to everyone. There has been so much movement recently and it's still very early in the waitlist movement season (just look at last year's waitlist movement thread) - so everyone else, hang in there! And a reminder to ya'll getting acceptances, please post on the 'WAITLIST MOVEMENT THREAD' so we know how things are moving...

...then open up some Jim Beam and enjoy the rush!!

 

[Lab-Rat21]

AND everyone starts getting acceptances? That is AWESOME guys. Lola, moskeeto, manta, you guys will appreciate this experience ven more b/c you had to struggle for it.

And NEVER ever complain once in school, think of those that don't make it. I am so happy for all of you, and still a little envious; you guys can sleep at night again...🙄

But this should be all about you guys...CONGRATS 😀 😀

Truer words have not been said lab rat
thats for the love guys. man, way to go Lola. I'm really happy for you. absolutely thrilled!

 

[Nefertari]

lola, a super duper CONGRATS to you! What can I say!!!! So happy that your waiting is over finally!

Moskeeto, you too! Yay!!! You guys don't belong here anymore!

 

[phdmed07]

This club is losing members fast. Congrats Lola!!!!

 

[cocoabutter]

WOW, today was a really good day for med school news. I am so happy for lola, manta, moskeeto, and everyone else that recently withdrew their membership from this club. It gives me hope that more news is on the way for the rest of us.

 

[surfdevl02]

congrats again to those that just got in...needless to say, those of us holding multiple acceptances need to let them go so that more happy news can come to this thread! I just released my acceptances from MUSC and USC so hopefully some SDNer will be happy to hear that...

 

[Lpgovard]

OH MYYY!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I AM SOOOOOO EXCITED FOR LOLA AND MOSQ.!!!
Awesome! Just FABB!!
Congrats to all those who've heard good news!
I hope more people on this thread get in soon!
YAY!!!

 

[MichiMO]

Wow, this club is quickly getting to be a lonely one!

Congradulations everyone!

It should provide all of us still in the club with a lot of hope. I think so much movement this early is definitly a good sign.

 

[Samoa]

I'm really happy to see people getting out of this club. I just wish I could join you. Ugh! It's so hard to wait and not have any idea whether you even have a chance of getting off the waitlist.

Anyone feel the same? I'm sending updates, a letter of intent, calling, etc., and still nothing. It's so frustrating. I've reached a point where I just don't know what more I can do, if have to apply again. I'm just so sick of being judged negatively over an academic record that bears little or no relation to what I know or how well I can learn, or who I am today. All of which I've demonstrated, and yet I feel like no one's even looking at that.

Anyway, I'm really frustrated, and so I'm indulging in a little self-pity. I don't do it often, but I'm glad you all are here to listen.

Regardless of my situation, I'm still very happy for those of you who've gotten in--even the ones who've gotten in where I'm still waiting. Congrats to you, and good luck to the rest of us!

(ps. I totally apologize for raining on the parade. Party on. 😀 )

 

[MichiMO]

Hang in there Samoa! There is still a lot of time for good things to happen.

I feel your pain though. The frustration of having done everything you can and just waiting, with your entire future in someone else's hands, is more overwhelming than anyone could express.

I keep asking myself, if I am going to get in eventually, why couldn't I just get in at the start and not have to go through this torture. But, I think if the acceptance finally does come, those bitter thoughts will be long gone and maybe I will have learned a little bit of patience and to take life as it comes.

What else can you do?

I also share the academic record that does not reflect my abilities. I just try to be confident in those abilities and forget the stupid transcript. I know I will be a great doctor and I know I will be a doctor no matter what!

Sometimes saying that to myself helps. The adcoms may have control over this particular part of things at this moment, but I hold the control over my life and I will not other people dictate the fate of my dreams.

Gee...I think I could write a self-help book 😀 Sometimes I need to give myself a pep talk though. Waitlists do a number on your confidence level, especially when it seems like everyone besides you is in. (Not that we begrudge all of you acceptees your good fortune...we just so badly want to be one of you 🙂 )

 

[SolidGold]

Oh, hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats lola and Moskeeto!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What good news to come home to at 2:30 am on a Saturday night!!

Samoa,

I definitely feel the same. Today was a real low for me after being put on the 2nd half of the UCSF waitlist. I'm waiting post-interview on only 1 more school. I remember you mentioning that you reapplied this year. And you also took the Aug mcat, right? Last year, I had no choice but to retake in Aug, and I think that killed my chances @ schools on the east coast since I was busy studying in the summer and didn't even finish 2ndaries for those schools til Oct, on top of the score delay. I sent in the UC secondaries the earliest last year, and seemed to have a better response from them b/c of that.

Hey, if we have to reapply, at least no more mcat and no more Aug disadvantage! That gives me some hope. Also, we'll probably be veterans @ interviewing. The only thing I dread is having to rewrite the essays. Did you rewrite all of yours or just the amcas PS?

 

[lola]

i know it may be hard coming from me (since i was just blessed with an acceptance), but i was feeling very DOWN about the process on friday and this morning. i had decided to put all my steam into it by calling the schools and writing more letters on monday b/c i thought i had no chance of hearing until at least june unless i begged and called. my point is you never know what can happen. i wrote gtown a 2nd letter of interest the other day and was feeling rather pathetic for doing so, but the acceptance letter and it crossed in the mail, so they didn't even get it until after they sent my acceptance. it can be done! i was very very fortunate, but the same thing will hopefully happen to you guys. it has been so comforting to know that other people were in my same situation, and i hope things work out well for you all. i will still be here reading your posts and congratulating you when you get in!

sorry about ucsf, nefertari 🙁

 

[Moskeeto]

hey, hang in there guys. this cycle is far from over. If you're sitting on some waitlists, there's still great chances for you to get in, the big 5/15 still hasn't even happened. I know it feels sometimes like you're getting left behind while everyone runs from this club, but its just good examples that waitlist movement and late acceptances do happen. Nefertari, if you can get an interview to UCSF, you should at least be able to get in out of state. Maybe it was because you applied late or whatever, but I got in somewhere and I was rejected preinterview from UCSF. Try to keep from getting down guys/gals, (I know easy for me to say), and try not to beat yourself up. alot of this is just the way that applying is, completely random at times, and you shouldn't take it too personally. You guys seem even more dedicated than me, I couldn't even think about reapplying right now. that shows alot. I honestly wish everyone a ton of luck.
On a side note, its been really great seeing some people that I've really been rooting for get accepted and its fun sharing all this with everyone on here, even if it is just a over the net. Best of luck to everyone on this cycle and even the next one if it has to happen for you. keep trying and stay away from hunter green.

I rewrote them all. It was particularly difficult this cycle, since I felt I'd said everything at least once already, and for a long time, my eventual essay topic was still too fresh an experience to write about objectively. Plus, I was sorely tempted to use a quote from a Monty Python skit as the intro, and I'm sure that would have been a mistake.

This past year hasn't been nearly as eventful--or educational. Just more lines on my resume, doing what pharmacists do. So I don't have anything particularly interesting to write about.

 

[lakun]

Hey,
I just wanted to congratulate everyone on their recent acceptances. That has particularly allowed me to keep postive in light of the fact that I'm also sitting on a couple of waitlists.

here are my updated stats:
waitlists: njms, meharry, BU
Holds: Tufts
waiting post-interview: Drexel
Rejections post-interview: Case, UMass

 

[Sweet Tea]

LOLA, MANTA, and MOSK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get your stinkin' carcasses outta here!! We don't want your kind around here no more!! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!

You have failed to maintain the requirements of the NAY Club, so I am forced to revoke your memberships. Don't come back now, ya hear?

And I mean that in the best way possible. So happy for you guys!!!

 

[sunflower79]

YAAAAAAAY Lola and Moskeeto!!!!!



Moskeeto, you are waaaay too humble!
We should all go out on the town to celebrate as pre-MS1s!

thank you for helping me get through the past couple agonizing months. i really didn't think it was going to happen for me this year (and was really bummed that my MCAT scores are expired) - and i really needed something like the board to help me keep things in perspective. thank you.
may 15th is slowly but surely coming. 😳 *sending waitlist moving vibes* i'll be hoping and praying for you guys. 🙂 😍 🙂

Congrats Manta!!!! Now start to plan a good summer vacation? 😀

 

[CCHieb's]

Lola & Mosk...
I am sooo happy about yourf acceptances. I don't know either of you, but have felt close because I am a cali girl, and feel your UC pain. As I said in another post, I couldn't be happier (exept if i recieved a copy of your letters with my name on it)!!!
I know this is weird, but all these acceptances has had a huge positive affect on my outlook, I actually have faith now....
CONGRATS
CCHieb's

 

[fullofhope]

Congratulations everyone!!! As odd as it may sound, it is great to lose members to the club!!!

tHanks for all your advice and help Lola... this acceptance is definitely well deserved and I am so happy for you.

 

[wyo]

Man, I leave for a weekend to go fishing and come back and half of the club is gone. Congrats to everyone who has gotten in over the past few days and good luck to eveyrone still waiting.

 

[cipher]

Wow, huge congrats to lola and moskeeto! You guys are two of the most informative and encouraging people out there and I'm really glad to see that acceptances finally came through for both of you.

Sweet Tea is right in that you both now lack one of our club's key (err, "only") prerequisites and therefore don't qualify for membership 🙂p ) but because of all of your help in the past I'll give both of you temporary visitors passes so you can hang around and bring up the spirits of us remaining NAYers.

Gee, this club is shrinking by the minute...

 

[Moskeeto]

hey thanks for the passes cipher, this is better than the time I got into Disneyland for free! HaHa Sweat Tea, you're not the boss of me, you can't make me leave! 😛
Okay everyone here's hoping that this place will be a ghost town this time next month and yeah it is nice to see the club finally getting smaller instead of larger.

 

[cocoabutter]

Ho hum....yet another day of an empty mailbox (except for bills 🙂 ). Anyone leave the club lately? I am definitely still here.

 

[CCHieb's]

Well...I got another waitlist, so not empty, but not good...🙁

 

[mef007]

FINALLY.....i gots my first acceptance yesterday from Jefferson...Looks like Philly is where its at

Good Luck everyone!😀

Adios! Congrats!

 

[MichiMO]

I found out yesterday that only 7 more people have to withdraw from my state school before I am in. So, I am pretty excited. Not to be prematurally confident, but I think I might have to leave the club soon 🙂
Hopefully good news will come for all of us soon.

 

[Moskeeto]

that sounds like good news, good luck. its a long summer, i'll be you've got a good shot.

 

[Samoa]

OK, I think I'll give notice now, before you all evict me. I just got the call from Tulane on Tuesday. They also e-mailed me. I would have said something yesterday, but I still couldn't quite believe it.

I was convinced that I was going to be waiting a LONG time. But I guess the whole letter-of-intent/constant update letters thing works.

For the record, this is my 5th application cycle.

 

[Nefertari]

Samoa, CONGRATS! 5 times is enough! Glad to hear it's over for you!

 

[cocoabutter]

OH MY GOD, SAMOA!!!!!!! That is so great. I know the road must have been so long, but you have finally made it. Fantastic.

 

[loo]

Way to go, Samoa! Now, somebody pleeeze kick me out!



loo

 

[OB1🤙]

Awesome news!!!!! I guess we'll be classmates- see you in August!

I thought my 3 cycles sucked, but you got me beat with 5. Damn! Congrats! Now go pour yourself a cold one...

 

[SolidGold]

Congrats Samoa!!!!!!

This club will be empty in no time.

 

[domagnet]

Phone call from MSU 5/13. I hear the waitlists are really starting to move across the country. There's still hope for everyone!!!

 

[Moskeeto]

hey congrats Somoa, 5X is unbelievable. it must make it even sweeter. 😀

 

[Nefertari]

Since she's too modest to start her own "I got in!" thread, I'll have to stir up the CONGRATS for djwdv , who just got into Miami!

 

[Jumpu]

Wow, things are really starting to move! Congrats to all!

 

[lakun]

wow, Samoa, 5x??!!! You certainly deserve the sweet taste of success.


I got waitlisted at Tufts and now I'm just waiting to hear from Drexel.

 

[MichiMO]

Samoa...that is such great news. I know everyone else said it, but 5X...it truly is amazing that you kept on it. You really should be an inspiration for everyone!

So, everyone else still in the club, where is the May 15 excitement????? All anyone has been talking about for months is May 15 and then it comes and no mention of it from the NAYers? Well, looks like I'll have to do it then.

IT IS MAY 15!!!!!!

Our torture could be ending soon!!!!!

 

[cocoabutter]

MichiMo, I hope that our torture ends soon. I am getting depressed about getting so excited to see what the mailman will bring...and then getting nothing.

I just want to know where I stand with the last school that I am waiting on. They are still giving out acceptances, so there is hope.

whats going on with me: 3 waitlists, I school to hear from.

 

[e-spin]

Well 4 of my 5 WLs are moving...so i guess that is a good sign, right?!?! Woohoo May 15!! So I guess we can "officially" open up the getting-off-the-WL season...i know some have gotten off it already.
So yeah. I am still waiting, waiting, waiting. But it is certainly good to see people getting their NAYC memberships revoked!!!
For the past few months I have ignored the mailman since I *knew* nothing good was coming. BUT now everytime the phone rings I thing my heart stops for a second!!! Ugh. So it continues as I remain patiently in the club.

Much Luck to ALL!!!!!

Spin😀

 

[cocoabutter]

e-spin, refresh my memory ( i am too lazy to go back through posts to find out), where are you waitlisted?
