Stay positive!
Yea last year I spent all my time obsessively wondering when I would get interviews. Then I realized I actually had to apply first.
To all of you guys worried, just remember the worst that happens is you don't get interviewed. Big deal. Who wants to interview anyway?
OCD seems to be fairly common among pre-meds.
Part of me is tempted to rip out my internet connection. Going on these forums has helped but I get paranoid everytime I log on. And I'm constantly checking those online status pages.
7:01, status check: no news from UC Davis.
7:04, I wonder if UC Davis has changed my status.
7:06, nope.
7:08, I wonder if anybody has said anything interesting about the schools I've applied to on SDN.
7:09, nope.
7:10, time to watch Family Guy...
I know, I know--I'm lame and you say "just stop hanging around here so much, then you'll feel better" but this site is Pandora's Box and its been opened already.
I can interview you if you want, and save you the hassle of making travel plans, going to a different school, getting dressed up, having some douchebag ask you stupid questions, etc.

well remember... its always better to wait a long long time and get an interview than a quick notification of rejection
haha, I've been complete at 20 schools ranging from 3 weeks to 2 months, and most of them have been handing out interviews like candy. I on the other hand have NONE from those schools. And to make matters worse, I have very decent stats ( lots of ppl with similar or lower stats have multiple interviews), and I have a Iphone to constantly disapoint myself with.
Alas, I work and go to the gym as much as I can to try and forget about this whole thing. I HATE waiting. And I think all med schools hate me lol
are you guys willing to pay for interviews?
I think i would pay for a gauranteed acceptance to my top choice.
(but... in the back of my head i would always wonder if I would have made it on my own)
