As another week's end draws neigh, I'm left with thoughts swirling between my ears. Maybe I should have clicked A rather than B on question 28 of the MCAT. Was that the difference between my 30 and a 31? I will never know, so why waste moments in retrograde memory? Rather, I push forward to weeks anew and hope afire, for an II awaits my fate.


Or not.

I like this . a journal from the front line. Of people who have bought the ticket and are on the ride. Perhaps some narration from Ken burns with some memes being shown . emmy worthy.

Whip out the fedoras and grow those beards neck-wise, boys. Prepare for the meme-off on Monday. Every great memer this side of SDN is going to strut their stuff in ritual.

I wonder if sacrificing my favorite doctor characters will make for a good offering to the Interview Invite gods. Will they give upon me good fortunes and interviews?
 
Does the meme sacrifice work if you've only had 1 II, or only for ppl with 0?
 
Joining the train.
20 Schools.
No II.
3 rejects.

Jumping on the bandwagon. I have already had one II, but one of my interviewers was less than pleasant so not feeling super awesome about getting an acceptance from there. Waiting at about 6 other schools, all in state schools and my stats match most of theirs. Cmonnnn meme magic.
 
I hope I get some good news next week... I'm getting a little bit nervous.

I originally wrote this on 12/30/15. It seems applicable now! I think that a lot of you will get good news soon. I feel it in my bones.

I thought I would post this for posterity, specifically to ease the minds of people who may be reading this thread in future application cycles. I applied to 24 schools in a timely fashion, submitting most of my secondaries in July. I got a couple of expected rejections from OOS-prejudiced schools and super long shots, and then I heard nothing. Silence. For months, and months, and months. I watched my peers get accepted in October when I had yet to hear from a single school. They told me interviews would come before Thanksgiving. They never did. These past few months have been among the most difficult of my entire life. I felt like a fraud and a failure often. And right around the end of the semester, I essentially gave up.

In the past two weeks, starting with the very first day of winter break, I have received three (count 'em, three) interviews from really solid MD schools.

I don't know if I will be accepted at any of these schools, but I do know this. Some people are superstars. Some people have some kind of ancillary factor that makes them attractive to medical schools. Some people, for whatever reason, get into medical school without much difficulty. I am not a superstar. If you are reading this, you probably aren't a superstar either. I'm just a normal person who has tried to do everything in my power to put myself in the best possible position. If I do get into medical school, I will be incredibly grateful that it took this long--because this has been an irreplaceably humbling and absolutely human experience that will eventually make me a better doctor.

So, if you are reading this in October or November or December some years from now, I urge you to not give up hope. You haven't received a rejection yet because somebody sees something in you. And I truly believe that if you are a good and decent person who has worked hard and not cut any corners, it will manifest itself in your application and somebody, somewhere will recognize it, and you will go on to do great things.

I was a part of my year's version of this thread last year and it pretty much kept me sane during this process. Meme-ing in solidarity with you all today.

The feeling you get when a relative asks you "if you've gotten into any schools yet" is pretty much the same feeling you get when your block director asks you if you are ready for the exam on Monday:

I have never used a meme in my life. I want to learn.
Reading all of your experiences with interview invites after November makes me feel better. I hope Texas schools work the same way with later II's. I had one interview, but I am super nervous with the rest of you.

Declaring bankruptcy...I wish to rub the SDN Buddha's belly and be blessed. Last II I received was in July--this has been a painful dry spell.

Anyone else thought NYCPM was somehow related to NYMC....before my IIs I thought it was NYMC's polite way of telling me "nope".
