The Silence...

Okay so I know everyone keeps saying not to freak out until November over interviews, but ... 1) I'm awful at not freaking out, and 2) I'm actually very concerned. I applied to a lot of average stat schools even though my stats are on the higher side, and I completed most of my secondaries mid July- end of July. I have 2 interviews scheduled right now, but I really feel like I should have more by now?

Note: I don't mean to sound arrogant or anything but I'm low key losing it

Dude, CTFO. You have 2 interviews which more than what most people get. That is NOT silence. GTFO with this nonsense.

 

[coquito2]

^ this.

I have no interviews yet. I only applied to 5 schools, since I knew what I could reach for, what I wanted, and what fit most with my own vision. This means I will likely pass through a lot of silence before any secondary-II turnover. What silence do YOU speak of, OP? Not mine it seems.

You're lucky you got two IIs, much less any.

You're not Gods gift to Medicine. Be humble

Damn.

But also yes, calm down and be humble.

You know, for a doctor, you have a very interesting way of dealing with people's concerns (regardless of how petty they may seem to your clearly massive intellect)... Thank you for reminding me of what I aim to never become when I am a doctor myself 🙂 It means a lot, man

Thanks for the wisdom!! I know I'm not the end-all, be-all of medicine, trust me. And I understand I'm coming across as arrogant, but I'm honestly just worried because I expected different, I guess

If you get in, medical school and residency is going to beat the punk-@$$ $not out of you.

Well this is a sassy thread...

I'm not a sassy person, but I've simply learned to stand up for myself when necessary. I don't think that's a bad trait to have, do you?

He's just being direct. A lot of people are.

I can accept direct (see goro's reply above). Rude? Not so much. It's not about what is said as much as it is how it's said. But thanks for trying to clear the negative internet vibes that're all up in this thread 🙂

And this is why you are most certainly going to get your @$$ handed to you. Kind of like this person.

Neutral withdrawal from public MD school


No one gives a crap about what you think the appropriate standard of politeness is. Attendings, residents, other students, patients.

 

[mmmcdowe]

keep it civil please

 

[YA51816]

Okay regardless of the sass in this thread I just wanna say that @Goro noticed me. This is more paramount to me than any MD acceptance.

Notice me senpai

I have no interviews. I would die for one right now. You'll be fine

1. As an Anesthesiologist I do deal with a lot of patient concerns usually the life or death kind. Therefore your "concern", which isn't really a concern since you already have 2 II, is dealt the same way I do with all stupid comments ... with pointed directness. What you lack is perspective. You come on here with your 2 II and make a thread titled "Silence" and complain of not hearing back from more when a good chunk of applicants will not EVER hear back from schools just reeks of entitlement. So, yes a little internet slap in the head is exactly what you need.

2. Ahh the tried and true "you're mean therefore you're a terrible doctor" argument. I hope if you ever make it to medical school you'll learn to not jump to conclusions cause ... you know, that can kill people.

3. If you think what I wrote was being rude, you're in for a VERY rude awakening. Surgery will be your worst nightmare. Nurses will eat you alive. Pucker up buttercup, you're in for a hell of a ride.

Chill out and try to crush what IS in your hands, rather than freak out about what you don't have. Also, when I'm really stressed, I find it good to focus on being as kind and appreciative as possible of the people/things around me. You're already ahead of many people.
