Hello,

I just had two interviews at two MD schools. One of the schools is fairly prestigious and well known and the other one is very new and not well established. I recently got rejected from the school that is not well established and have to wait until March to hear back from my dream school. Is it fair to say that I have no chance at my dream school, since I got rejected from a much lower tier MD school? I felt like the interview for the school I got rejected at was not that great, and felt really good about the interview at my favorite school (very conversational, felt I made a good case at what I can offer the school/how I fit well). I actually practiced and put in a lot of time preparing for that interview. I know I am probably overthinking things, but you know how it is I would appreciate any insight

Obviously not. You answered your own question in the following sentence. I think you're making this thread because you're nervous and looking for reassurance so there it is. A rejection at one school has nothing to do with your chances at a different school...

You might as well try predicting the numbers for the next winning Lotto ticket.

Do yourself a favor and stop engaging in fool's errands. People tend to be terrible judges of their interview performances.

Start working on Plan B and hope for the best.

I got into MSUCOM, but would rather go to an MD school that isn't so expensive for OOS that's my main concern
