State your current deepest med-school related wish here. Just one realistic wish (don't wish for an acceptance from a school where you haven't interviewed yet, etc) of news from a school you applied to and just one school. Whether you're waiting for an acceptance or an interview, post here, and it will come true.

The Wishing Well
Apparition: Acceptance to VCU.



P.S. I'm really bored.
 
She leans over the wishing well, scrunches her eyes up tight, and whispers "Northwestern."

PS - Did you intentionally start this thread at 11:11am? I know a lot of people (myself included) have a silly habit of making a wish when its 3:33, 4:44, etc. and 11:11 is the best one of all!
 
Closing his eyes, bending over to whisper into the well....OH MY GOD!!! He fell into the well. DAMN MED SCHOOLS....ends the life of another young person!

I don't want to have to decide sometime this summer that I am not packing up my family and moving to the midwest!

Ditto. Anywhere, and to be extra audacious, before the Summer.


Agreed. any school to which i have applied that has not rejected me yet, at least a month before school starts so that i can actually do it (i have a mandatory 4-weeks notice at my job). but the thread said "acutally possible" or somesuch, so...

if that's not in the realm of possibility, which it might not be, i would like this to be over fast. if i'm not going to end up getting in anywhere, i ask not to be endlessly on hold/waitlisted. if all there will be is pain, let it be quick and sharp. always had an easier time getting the "exotic" piercings than the tattoos.
 
I wish that UMass would notify me of my acceptance this month, so I can stop prepping to re-take the MCAT!
 
Acceptance to Harvard 🙂
 
I wish the mail would come. I really wish the mail would come and give me the news I want to hear, but mostly I just want to stop being so goddamn anxious every time I open the mailbox.
 
Acceptance to Vanderbilt :luck:
 
get off waitlist at wake forest
 
I wish I didn't have to work during my undergrad!!!

Mine worked! 😀 I wished for CCLCM, and I just got the call. :luck: to the rest of you.
Congrats, Q. Enjoy your weekend!
 
Congrats, Q! But you didn't say yours out loud, which means we're all screwed?

Thanks, everyone. 🙂 I don't know, Nape. Maybe your wishing wells will work even if you do say what you wish for aloud. When you guys make wishes on birthday candles or eyelashes, do you tell those, too?

Of course not! You don't need a 43 on the mcat to know that. Wishing wells, on the other hand, are a gray area.

Literally. Haha, I'm corny.
 
*wishes silently* Oh, pretty, pretty, please.
