The emptyness of my Friday Inbox

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I smell emptiness abounding for my inbox this Friday...
 
My inbox has been empty for the past 3 weeks!
 
I seem to get 1 interview invite at the end of each month ... this is depressingly slow and I have 3 long weeks to wait by that schedule. 😴

I got my complete notification from them 2 weeks ago, which was 2-3 months after I submitted my application too.
 
perhaps. but i would like to go to a medical school that sees me for who i am 🙂

in fact, being mistaken for a girl is happening more often now. hahaha its funny.😎


apparently rockaction wanted me to bring to the attention to all people

that you can get into med school with LONG HAIR!👍👍👍👍👍
 
the emptyness of my November/ december inbox. 🙁
 
So when is it too late for interviews? I mean do people even get interview sent to them in Dec due to the holidays?

Anyways my inbox is also very lonely 🙁
 
yep I got one this past monday 🙂 There is hope for a few more invites before the new year
 
My Friday inbox wasn't empty this morning.

I had a nice "Thanks, but no thanks" email from Cornell.

:eyebrow: It's like almost better than silence in a way...at least that is one less school you have to worry about lol!

OMG this is driving me insane!

True, true. I do appreciate that they had courtesy to actually let me know.
 
My insides are slowly shriveling up. This obsessive inbox haunting is so unhealthy but what can we do...

Do you think it's too early to email/call and ask for a status update if I haven't heard back from them in months and the status website is pretty much useless? I'm only concerned because I know that sometimes administrations drop the ball and things could get forgotten or neglected.

Case in point: I didn't hear back from UC Davis after my primaries where they sent me the "Don't contact us, we'll contact you" email... and only realized that I'd been granted a secondary AFTER they'd closed all the files and contacted me at last saying that my file was closed due to incompletion of a secondary. what the??! :scared: That one about gave me apoplexy. Spilled milk and all, I've come to terms with it since realistically I figure I wouldn't have gotten in with my stats but still!! I would've loved the chance to complete an application there, sigh...
 
I am now 3 months complete at 10 schools...and no news.

I love/hate any emails I get from med schools, because they stick out compared to like facebook emails, and my heart always stops for half a second before I realize it's nothing important like "Sorry for the bad weather on the interview day; want to schedule a 2nd look?" kinda stuff.

:laugh:

Yea. I had a dif frustration when I was waiting for an invite from my college-because I am still a student here and I also work in the hospital attached to the school....I get like 10000 emails from the school every day. Every time I saw the name my heart jumped....until I read the subject like as something like "Quarantined emails for such and such day"
boo!
 
Well, my Friday inbox was empty again.

I think I'm changing the idea of this thread to "The emptiness of my inbox until January - if I'm lucky" to reflect my lack of optimism.
 
Woot woot! Guess what day of the week it is again...

depressing last chance for any email news before 2 days of definite silence (or worse until after the new year) day?:scared:

I wish I had a dollar for every time I check my email in a given day...:annoyed:

So we are all hoping for Feb/March interview now huh? I'm assuming all Jan interviews came out in Dec....

I have heard that Feb/March interviews are interviews for wait list spots... how true is this?🙁🙁🙁
