I submitted my AMCAS June 8th, was verified within a few days, and then got married in late June & left on our honeymoon. I got back July 4th, with 4 secondaries awaiting me, only to find out on July 5th that my husband's grandmother (whom he is very close to) had a massive stroke. We flew to where she was in the hospital, stayed there for 5 days, flew back. She passed away a few days later, we flew back for funeral services, & back to home, we're flying back this weekend for memorial services. Between that and working full time, I feel like a chicken running around without a head....
I (for whatever reason) applied to 32 schools and have received 17 secondaries. I've decided to not complete 3 of them & have submitted 4 of them (just my part & the money, haven't been able to submit LORs yet - waiting on one!). So I'm sitting here on a stack of 10 feeling very overwhelmed & rather behind now where I once felt ahead of the game....
I'm debating about just sending my LORs out to the 4 schools I've submitted thus far without the last one because I have their minimum requirement (this last one was just an extra from my current employer - I'm out of school). My last LOR should be in the system by the end of the week so the calm part of myself just says wait & submit it once it gets into the LOR service from my undergrad university. Oy....
Anyways... Just wanted to vent I guess... I'm just feeling so freaked out by the SDNrs who are turning their secondaries around in a day. I feel like doing the same, but then again I feel like I put so much time into everything else, why let this slide?
Any thoughts?
