I applied this cycle (submitted secondaries by end of July) and 0 IIs so I'm really stressed. No rejections either yet though.
Thinking I was too confident going in and my school list is probably horrible. Am I cooked??? Don't know what I did wrong -- potentially low clinical experience and maybe some essays weren't that good? Would really appreciate feedback and what y'all predict will happen
