80% of the schools I applied giving me an interview
25% of those accepting me (so far)
Much to be thankful for when your dreams are beginning to materialize before your eyes!

 

[ksmi117]

Lots of choices for school next year.

Having multiple interviews.

 

[red10]

AN ACCEPTANCE RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS!

and having a few schools that still haven't rejected me so there is still hope for options!




ps. I think this is a really great thread right when people can start getting really down about this process

 

[POW16]

5 interviews (completely unexpected after my MCAT...) and being able to afford traveling for each one of them.

 

[medchicago]

getting into my top school, and feeling that i belong there
having the financial means to apply to multiple schools
support i've had from friends and family
being fortunate enough to have medicine as an option
helpful people on sdn

great thread!

 

[Untraditional]

I'm thankful for enough grace to have found my vocation, whether I get in or not and people who will love me regardless of MD on the end of my name.

I'm thankful for the chance to apply to our wonderful US schools.

 

[JohnnyExtra]

Ditto on the acceptance this early in the process, the knowledge that I am going to live a worthy life (in my humble opinion) helping others, and a family that is proud of me no matter what.

 

[Jolt21]

having the opportunity to go through this process with confidence.

 

[DocMcCoy]

Multiple acceptances with my stats!

 

[alibai3ah]

My one and ONLY acceptance. Thank you GOD!!!!

 

[J ROD]

I dont have to hide in shame for not getting into med school.

 

[avo]

I don't celebrate Thanksgiving, really.

But thanks for interviews at my top choice school, another at one of my top 5, and one at an MSTP program that would make my choice of school a whole lot easier

 

[faith2]

I am thankful that I was accepted to my first choice school, and all my interviews led to an acceptance. I am thankful that I am rejecting schools that want to interview me. I am thankful that my daughter is happy and healthy.

 

[mybubbles14]

I'm thankful for being accepted to my first choice school on Oct 15th. I definitely thought I was going to be biting my nails well into the new year.

 

[bamtuba]

I'm thankful that I will never have to apply to medical school again, and yet also thankful that I went through it at least once in my life.

 

[amine2086]

The 8 precious Interview Invites and my supportive family and friends.

 

[SteinUmStein]

I'm thankful that I will never have to apply to medical school again, and yet also thankful that I went through it at least once in my life.

As much as I love complaining about this process, I've learned a tremendous amount from it as well... it's something I am grateful for having done once and only once.

 

[Sammich117]

I'm thankful that I will never have to apply to medical school again, and yet also thankful that I went through it at least once in my life.

I like this. Very well put.

 

[amakhosidlo]

I'm thankful that I will never have to apply to medical school again, and yet also thankful that I went through it at least once in my life.

God, +3. I honestly don't think I could do this again. My hat goes off to the folks that do...

Anyway. Thankful for family, an acceptance to my #1, and friends and who know nothing about the application process but sympathize with me when I tell them anything about it by offering a sincere "That's f**cked up!".

Yes friend, it is. It really, really is.

 

[hanjg]

I give thanks that I'm from Texas. Yeah! In-state admissions love.

#3

I'm thankful that I will never have to apply to medical school again, and yet also thankful that I went through it at least once in my life.

Amen to never having to do this crap again!

 

[FloatOn]

I am thankful that a med school believes in my ability to become a doctor, and for my family for not driving me completely crazy during this journey. Emphasis on completely.

 

[gr33n]

Thankful for getting accepted to my dream school and not having to stress about another interview!
