Do you know what "site is full" means? I'm so confused lol, like how is it different than rejected b/c I also got that for one of my sites🙁
"Site is full" means that they don't have anymore space. Maybe 80 people confirmed for that site already. While rejected means they looked at your application and did not accept you.

On a positive note I feel better knowing I didn't take someone's spot and found out I have an interview with one of the early assurance med schools I applied to a while back. I planned on biochemistry this summer to free up my fall along with my internship so congratulations to everyone who got accepted! This week was still a good week! Chin up of those who weren't accepted. It just means something else spectacular is around the corner 🙂 You win some and lose some.
 
I know it’s past midnight in EST but not for me yet. I guess I’ll just keep checking until it’s Thursday for me haha.
