Hey everyone,
I'm pretty frustrated because I thought I was a fairly competitive applicant (albeit I have relatively weak ECs) but have 4 rejections and 0 interviews. I retain a 4.0 from a prestigious university with a 516 (LM 75). Traditional, ORM. I submitted all my apps early and on-time (all 22). Every single secondary got submitted within 1 week except one took 9 days. I will say I didn't apply to many "low-stat" schools (bc the low-stat one's I did apply to are relatively low-yield). I did get a job as a medical scribe in the ED recently and updated the schools not too long ago, but idk if updates really matter(?).
So basically what I am asking... Should I be worried that it's the end? I know people say "cycle runs through February." But, in all honesty, how many medical schools send interviews past November. And, if I submitted so early, what should change that I even get an interview in November. I just feel kind of defeated ngl, and I've never really stressed about school too hard outside class grades and stuff.
I know I'm kind of ranting, but when my friends and fam keep asking how's the cycle going, and then I check SDN and see a bunch of people with 3+ interviews, I feel like crap.
Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks everyone and good luck to y'all too!
