...You prefer weekdays to weekends because secondary email invites don't typically come on Saturdays and Sundays.

Felt. I'm just over here killing time pre-writing the secondaries for schools I haven't heard back from yet...I just wish work was busier so that then time didn't pass like molasses. 🙁

 

[Ms. Medic]

Killing time pre-writing secondaries is a better use of your time than spending hours on SDN reading old threads, IMHO. Although SDN is a hugely valuable resource, support group, outlet etc, it can be a huge time-pit if the user allows it!

You know you're a neurotic premed when Monday is an exciting day because ad coms send out interviews on weekdays

Lol! You aren't the only one. The highlight of my week is getting interview invites, the lowlight rejection emails.

 

[Dr Tony T. Chopper]

Man you guys are going to drive yourselves crazy before school even starts

When you refresh your email every 5 seconds after someone else get an ii in school thread.

Man that sucked. A lot of my II came in January [emoji30]. So just like 5 months of checking my email every time my phone vibrated...

So much this. I never realized how much complete nonsense I got in my inbox until I started applying to medical school. No, Groupon, I don't need to know about all of the getaways available to me, because it's not like I'm going to have any money for the forseeable future anyways. -____-

MUCOM has sent interview invites on Sundays. Have fun knowing this....

 

[ortnakas]

You guys. Appreciate your weekends while you have them!

And mayo sends them at 230ish in the morning. Don't wanna sleep through the best dates to schedule. Better stay up.

Ya know what? I think I got my KCOM one at like 1130pm on a Saturday.

Also, what if you send the secondary back too fast? They'll know you must've pre-wrote your secondaries. Is that some kind of ethics violation? Will they think you're a gunner? Too many variables!

Just know, the crazy doesn't stop. I'm getting my board scores this coming week, but I can't help but log into the portal every day for the last week to check for my score...

The whole medical education process kind of selects for crazy...and I feel like with me it gets worse as I age. I'm 10x more neurotic now about details than I was back in freshmen year. Good for applications and patient charts, bad for sanity.
