Hey, I'll step up to the plate. I'll admit it. I've seen my posts go from humble to cocky to a-hole and back to just being myself. I had the fortune of applying to 17 osteopathic schools last year. Everyday I would go out to the mailbox, but nothing. I didn't receive a single interview. I was disappointed with my MCAT scores with which I was applying (7V,8P,9B,M),but I figured they were close to the average and I should get at least a couple interviews. Nothing! It was VERY, VERY, VERY frustrating to read of all of the interviews that others had received, not to mention the ones that were accepted. I sympathize with the students that try so hard, but just fall short. I took a step back, analyzed my application and determined areas to work on for this application year. I enrolled in Kaplan this summer (as of yet, still haven't received my scores 10/19), rewrote my essay, continued working as a CNA and began graduate school in molecular biology. Fortunately, I made it this year (yes, with a 24. it is possible)! This reinstilled confidence (to a cocky point, not good)which may be evident in some of my posts. I then remembered all of the frustration I had experienced last year and vented all of it in one post and boy it felt good. If any of you read it, it was not directed at anyone, but rather more of an expression of frustration from the way I felt last year.
