To protest the lack of interview invites today, for the rest of the day I shall have gmail send all emails with addresses not ending in @med.....edu into the SPAM folder.

:laugh::laugh:

Over the next few months I'll be compiling a list of such email addresses (hopefully not too many) to do just that come the end of May. 😛
 
another lonely friday...it's been 3 of these so far!
 
Ugh! I really wanted one today... all the acceptances are making me nervous 😛
 
I have had an empty inbox for several weeks now ughh
 
Sometimes the sound of silence can be so oppressive. Nothing again 👎

Today I turned on the email notification on my iphone and everytime I got one I checked immediately only to see that it was some BS mass mail from my employer. I think I will turn the notifications off, they are toying with my emotions and I just can't take it.
 
It's like ending the day with no chocolate from anyone on Valentine's day :luck:.
 
This has been going on everyday for a while now...

Is anyone else a little superstitious? like for example, I check my inbox after 1:22 PST and leave the # of unread emails the same. :laugh:
 
My inbox has been empty for a while too. Here is to hoping for a better next week...

It did rain on my wedding day (outdoor wedding planned)....I freaked out for a day and a half (forecast) then I stepped up & bought umbrellas & made it work. I'm ok about it now.

The not-hearing-about-interviews is worse because it is a continual bleakness. Noe nd in sight! AGHGHHGG 😱

heh
 
Thought I would join the club... So far no interviews. But then again, I applied later.

I'm not expecting any interviews until Nov-Dec.

Hang in there guys!
 
Good luck everyone this week!! I received my first interview invite today, so keep the hope alive! 🙂

i'm in the same boat! hoping for interviews soon!! good luck to you!
 
I like this thread, it makes me feel better about myself haha. I have my first interview next week but no emails/calls from anyone else. At least no rejections yet. I'm pretty sure my inbox has been empty all day but who knows- I've only checked like 736748494 times :laugh:
 
Okay seriously the people with >0 interviews need to stop complaining!

Its making us 0 interview applicants feel a little bit :cry:....

Still no interviews...1 hold though. I actually feel better about that because at least someone has been reading my application.
 
Guys, I'm getting really scared, here. I applied to like 35 schools, and I've only gotten interviews at like 30 of them, and of those 30, only like 17 of them are top 20.

Should I just try again next year?

30/35 interviews only? Dude, you totally fail, I would mos def try again next cycle.
 
Not to fuel anyone's anxiety or compulsive email-checking, but here's a graph showing when I heard things (interview invites, acceptances, and rejections) from med schools so far. On the X-axis, 1-5 is Monday-Friday. The correspondences have been pretty well spread out, though Thursdays seem to be a no-man's land.

And yes, I'm aware how obsessive I myself have become 🙂

Wow, so where did you get the data points? From SDN, your own experience, your friends, etc.?

Wow, your neuroticism far exceeds my own. Nice graph 👍
 
Nice graph, however, sadly you don't seem to belong in this thread if that's charted from your own experience.
 
gah i hate SDN and I hate this thread
 
I need a drink.

All my secondaries were in by August, then I go 45 days without hearing a peep.
Get 2 rejections and a hold within a week, so i give up all hope. Stopped checking SDN, didn't check my email with gusto, and began to apply to grad school programs.

Then just 3 days ago, I get a small pool notification from RFU. Now I'm all hopeful again and back to checking my email and post like a madman. But its sooooo quiet. Why do you toy with me, O great adcom committees. I stopped caring and you draw me back into nervous anticipation. Why!!!!

Its going to be a long couple of weeks...
 
hahah! our rule was that we still get to whine as long as we had 6 or under interviews. unfortunately, as of this week i have graduated from this thread... 🙁

but i think it shows that schools do turn around and look at the applicant again!!!


all the best guys
😛

and ppl with acceptances should really not be here either 😛
 
Another Friday, another nothing. Epic fail.
 
Well... let us at least raise our glasses and toast the absence of any rejection letters this Friday! 😀
 
After finally hearing some news from schools, the Papa John's email that just snuggled it's way into my inbox isn't quite so infuriating.

H1N1 alerts are toying with my emotions. +pissed+ Another Friday down! Damn.
 
I woke up to a nice, big fat rejection in my Inbox. Great way to start a friday morning. October, as a whole, has pretty much sucked. Hopefully November won't follow suit.

lol :laugh: For me, it's the Spam emails from the gym that I signed up for but never use... so whenever I see Gmail - Inbox (1) on the tab I freak out only to see yet another email from my gym.

So now, not only am I disapointed it's not from a med shcool, but I'm also feeling guilty because I haven't actually made use of my gym membership yet. 👎

should I prioritize getting my secondaries done by the 2 week goal (which would be by Friday) or would taking a bit more time be ok?
