46dr Posted April 24, 2016 Report Share Posted April 24, 2016 Guys, I've been so solid through the wait but my brain is taking this exact moment to freak out thinking that by this time next year I might be done my first year of med school. TIME IS GOING SO SLOWLY. On the other hand, I just got hired at my dream job just after graduating my UG, so if things don't go my way this year I know I'll have a great year in between. Good luck everyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck everyone!! I'm the complete opposite! I've been going crazy since about mid-March, and now I'm just numb. I think it's because I've accepted my probable rejection or something. Congratulations on getting your dream job btw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
46dr Posted April 25, 2016 Report Share Posted April 25, 2016 Thanks! I guess it's not my dream job (obviously), but for what I can get at right now it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrenchPressedMD Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 I don't know what's going to win on May 11: My courage to check my email or my fear of getting rejected and not checking at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neurophiliac Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Yesssss part of me can't wait, but the other part is getting nervous. So when you look at me, you'll probably see someone who will be energetic with loads of nervous laughters and excitement hahaha ???? How is everyone else feeling??

Thermophilus Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Last year I was really excited and nervous at this time. This year I'm guarded toward getting overly invested in the outcome. If I get in I will allow myself to be ecstatic and to celebrate with friends and family and if I don't I will simply reapply, rinse, and repeat. I am fortunate enough to be able to shadow an orthopod tomorrow, so I am very excited to go and learn from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstantRamen Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 I'm in a constant state of nervousness. Not excited to rewrite the MCAT if May doesn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garlic Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I was cautiously optimistic last year (but apparently not cautious enough, because I ended up being devastated). So this time around, I've been bracing myself for bad news. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised of course, but if not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, even the rest station. Anyway, I can't believe it's almost May. So close, yet not soon enough.

Med_Pack Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 I cannot even focus on anything anymore, getting more and more nervous. Any tips on how I can continue focusing on my studies? I'm an ON applicant but I do come to this thread sometimes, as we are also waiting until May (10 for us) ....anyway, I am not in undergrad anymore and working full-time but it doesn't seem to make a difference...it's pretty well impossible to keep focused at this point...I'm literally going to take on extra work this week so I can stay even busier....exercise can be a good way to not think about it...exercising while reading your book maybe? I need to keep everything occupied right now, body and mind if I'm to not think about stuff...and even that doesn't work that much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
