Come on Duke! Either reject me or give me an interview. I have been waiting for over two months now. Any news from Duke will round out this week as a good week.

No offense, but two months is nothing. It was complete for 3 months (12 weeks to the day, actually) before I received an interview invite (which occurred this past Monday). Hang in there. I'm sure something good will come of it.

Noooooooooooooooooo! I have to wait another month for Duke. I hope this waiting time correlates with better chance of getting an interview invite.

not the biggest news, but I FINALLY got a UCSF secondary. I was processed for AMCAS almost two months ago, but only had my data received from super slow UCSF just a month ago... Thank goodness the secondary is so short.

 

[Khenon]

Okay, one more day to hear something good . . . Please, oh please, oh please, oh please!!!

 

[Psycho Doctor]

Hey good luck! And if it doesn't work out this week, we'll start a new good luck thread next week when there really should be more interaction.

 

[skoaner]

I have a feeling that this week will be full of good news.

I think that 'feeling' was gas or something! This week was teh sux0r 🙁

 

[Rzarecta]

I totally agree with starting another thread for next week! This was a good week to some, but with Veteran's Day on Thursday stuff may have been delayed. I am usually quite pessimistic, but for some reason I think that next week is gonna be great, with interviews pouring in for everybody. And if not, there is always the week after that...

Good luck you crazy kids

 

[Vintage_66]

I agree. Let's keep up the positive outlook, and if it doesn't pan out we can always start a new thread next week. 🙂

 

[gobblety_gook]

Although I haven't heard ANY news this week...this also means that I haven't heard any BAD news this week...so all in all...not bad...

The trick is to hear some GOOD news soon before I burst. 🙄

😎

 

[LRmed2003]

well... umm. i loved Duke at my interview...everyone seemed really nice and happy and satisfied with their choice.. suffice to say..this might be my top choice now... i also got an interview invite for Wash U... sadly, i think i might have to turn it down because i can't afford the plane ticket...ho hum..it's like ~$550... sooooo...we'lll seee...hopefully some good news in the snail mail today...

[Khenon]

Is it bad that my idea of good news is getting a secondary from one of the 4 schools I'm still waiting on? It sounds like everyone else is waiting for interviews and acceptances . . . I am sooooooo behind. Oh well. Haven't heard anything today, but maybe I'll get something good in the mail this afternoon. There's always next week . . .

i'm right there with you khenon. i got two secondaries recently from schools i was still waiting on and you'd think i won the lotto. it beats the thin letters in my mailbox anyway.

I'm sooooooo glad I'm not the only one! I swear, I thought I was the only person still waiting on secondaries. And yes, when I got one last week, I about jumped out of my seat. I finished it that night, I was so excited. Oddly enough, it's now my top choice school (because they seem to like me!)!

You guys are definitely not the only ones waiting for those wonderful secondaries. But unlike you, I have none to gloat about. I'm complete at every single school I applied to except for ALL of the UCs (hello, in state anyone?). . .which have yet to send me secondaries. (but UCSF, UCD and Drew were kind enough to put me out of my misery early in the process.). So yes, secondaries are great. yay for secondaries.

Right on man. It's been a rough week for me- two rejections and a hold status. My version of good news this week was to get a letter from U Maryland notifying me of my in-state classification. Even though I had no doubt, I was still happy to receive my in-state letter. I did a little in-state celebration dance in my underwear.

I need the positive vibe guys. and I'm betting my bottom dollar that tomorrow (or next week or the week after) there will be sun.

 

[Sparky Man]

Ok, so at the end of the week...I was rejected by Boston University, but offered an interview at Columbia! Can't complain, but I really do feel like the invites are a crap-shoot!

[Pinkertinkle]

This week was a bust, maybe next week.

 

[Arb]

Bad week!

 

[Scubadoc]

yeah this week was was a bust for me too. i rounded out the week with a rejection pre-secondary from wake forest 👎

 

[junathon]

finally some good news by the week's end. i got invite from pitt. 😀 yay! should i go?

 

[Damnit Jim!]

Hey guys,

Week's not over yet! Mail comes on Sat. so we still have one more day for this week until the new good feeling thread starts. Here's hoping.

 

[JDAD]

Hey guys,

Week's not over yet! Mail comes on Sat. so we still have one more day for this week until the new good feeling thread starts. Here's hoping.

That's the attitude!

My weeks recap, complete at Penn State, Interview at Vandy, and complete at Wake(sort of weird email, i am complete, but not really). No rejections so I can't complain. I haven't checked my mail for two days and I won't get to check it until Sunday, so I hope there is a nice present waiting for me.

I am still very anxious about the texas schools, I need to hear somehting from UTSW fast!

 

[ellia08]

I have to say.... I have good feelings for next week.

Although, there was nothing this week to justify my expectations... so I'll just have to base my prediction on my massive psychic powers. 🙂

 

[maygirl]

So this week was pretty much a total no-response week for me....I had pretty much given up on the whole week, until I came home from work at around 9 pm, with a UVa interview invite waiting in my mailbox 🙂

I am happy, though it seems like this process is just making me more greedy. I'm still waiting to hear from 8 or so schools (and I'm not an August MCATer).

I'm sending out some massive good vibes next week! Next week will be a great week...I know this, because I have psychic powers, too!!!! 😉

Good luck everybody!

 

[morganlefay]

Same here, my friend, same here. I feel like that one line of my sig is ironically funny now. 🙁 Ah well, c'est la vie.

 

[UCLAstudent]

No "good" news this week, unless you count a much better second UCLA interview. Got rejected by Dartmouth (but I am totally fine with it, I would not have attended if I received an interview invite).

Think I also go that Wake email, did it say they recieved secondary and would email you when complete? It is like you arent complete even though you should be ?

 

[faradayampere]

okay ... so I receive no-response this week ... but I do think that I will hear from the schools next week ....

this week had nothing special for me ... except that I got 90 on my fluid mech midterm ....

hope for better next week =)

 

[JDAD]

Think I also go that Wake email, did it say they recieved secondary and would email you when complete? It is like you arent complete even though you should be ?

Thats the one. I think I am going to give them a week, and then call to see if I am actually complete.

 

[synapse lapse]

Thats the one. I think I am going to give them a week, and then call to see if I am actually complete.

Yeah, me too. You know how everyone says that if you call them after a week they eitehr interview you (top pool) or tell you to call back in Jan (reg pool). Seems their M.O. is to see if you're really interested, although the email shoudn't have said you'd get an email when you are complete! Anyhow, congrats JDAD, seems like this was a great week for you. I have not gotten any more invites, so am very nervous and am feeling I was very lucky to get my UTSW invite and I better ace that one. Anyhow, good luck to everyone next week, hopefully it will be better than this one 🙂

 

[JDAD]

I guess that's the plan. I didn't have the week I was expecting. 1 interview is great, but I figured all the schools have had my application complete for a while now, and I really thought this week was going to be filled with news. Oh well. I can wait another week.

The beauty of this thread is that it can be used over and over again. As soon as it becomes next week, then everything applies as normal. Let's keep the positive thoughts rolling. Good luck to everyone in this abnormal process.

 

[kfilter1]

All you end of the week negative people had me down, but at the last possible minute, in the saturday mail, i get my first acceptance! Im gonna be a doctor! Dont give up hope people, and be positive!

Felicitaciones, Dr. Kfilter1! Which school?

RRrgh, I wanted more good news. To sum up my week: Got a phone call from Cornell to interview, took a big Biochem test that went pretty well, and didn't get enough sleep. Next week will be exciting, I have two interviews in Connecticut. Wishlist: I so want to hear from the five schools I'm complete at but don't know where I'm at.

Looking forward to the next positive attitude thread...

Awesome!!! Congrats 🙂

 

[dandelion]

Congrats to all the people who got secondaries/invites/acceptances this week!! This turned out to me an EXCELLENT week for me 🙂 Monday, I was worried about not hearing from Vanderbilt, but their invite letter came mid-week, and I was able to schedule my interview on the exact day I wanted. Then yesterday I got an invite from Wash U 😱

This process is making me greedy too, I think. At the beginning, I said to myself that I would be happy with 9 (out of 17) interview invites.

Hope next week will be GREAT for everybody. G'luck, all.

 

[Khenon]

Well I got absolutely nothing but bad news this week . . . 4 rejections in 7 days. I guess I'm glad they were all pre-sec so I didn't waste my money. But one school was my "in-state" school, so that was one of my backup hopes.

So JDAD, you need to start this thread next week, and then bless me with some of your luck, okay?

Congrats to everyone who heard good news this week. And no you're not greedy! You worked hard and you deserve to go to the school of your choice. Keep up the great work everyone!

 

[morganlefay]

Well FINALLY! I am on the ranked list for interview at U of Miami. Praise the Lord! I am so thankful, b/c after two rejections, this is really nice. 😀 Congrats to everyone else, and those of you with sucky news, there is still hope, even if you can't see it....I really am hoping to be invited for that interview soon 🙂

Reposting. Well, no 11th hour heroics for me either. A few rejections and a hold. I did get an instate classification though and the thread psychics have predicted that next week will be a good week. That's good enough for me.

 

[derf]

good luck everyone, i'm sure it'll get better.

 

[DrSwede]

Yes, a great week indeed...I received 4 rejections

 

[Wiggy73]

Morgan - Way to go, girl!!

This week for me? Totally quiet. Now that I'm posting in the good luck thread, here's hoping for some karma coming my way. Congrats to all who had wonderful things happen, and good luck (and serenity) to all who are still waiting.

Well I feel better! Misery loves company! Here's lookin' at next week, huh. Best of luck.

Felicitaciones, Dr. Kfilter1! Which school?

University of Tennessee - Memphis
Thanks for all the congrats, its good to finally know! I think it would be a good idea to keep all the good news in this thread so it will lift some spirits!

 

[Medikit]

This week was one of the worst weeks I've had in the last three years. At least I feel like I'm going to do ok.

hey, me too medi! i ended the week with a letter from tufts in the mail today saying that i am not complete because they don't have my LORs. which means, they had to have lost them because i use interfolio and every other school has received the LORs just fine. grrrrrrrr. i think karmically next week HAS to be better.
