How do you do it again? I'm effing depressed. I just got rejected off of one of my waitlists (I didn't even know they did that till August) and have two more that don't seem very promising. I'm headed to the Georgetown SMP, but to do that you need to apply again, and to apply again you need to be motivated. I'm having a hard time with my essay because I'm so disheartened. I feel like I've gotten the wind knocked out of me repeatedly by this process and it is SO humbling to pick yourself up and do it again. Truthfully, I would like to take a year off and regroup and remember why I want this so badly, because sometimes I forget. I've spent so much time wanting it, checking my email, calling admissions offices... If someone asked me why I want to be a doctor I'd have to stop and think for a bit b/c that feeling has been replaced with desperation. What can I do to start this SMP with some good feeling instead of all the rejection? I know we have a few reapplicants around SDN and for the most part, they seem excited and up for the challenge again. Please... any advice?
