Overthinking Interview Responses

[mcatstruggles]

How is everyone keeping themselves busy and from overthinking every single station now that the interview is done? Any time I have a moment, all I think about is the interview...

Having amnesia for approximately 90% of the interview helps for sure with that for me personally

Don't beat yourself up for overthinking the interview, it is so normal. 

Just try not to spend too much time thinking about it. There is nothing you can do about it now and thinking about how it went really won't help you. Easier said than done though.

I remember finding last year extra difficult with extra free time due to COVID-19. I found journaling or having a bit of a mental interview debrief helpful to start. Once that is done just try let go of those thoughts.

Myself and my friends found it helpful to keep busy. Try to really embrace school, work, extracurriculars etc. and maybe pick up a new hobby. I made a plan for if I got in and if I didn't so I was prepared for both outcomes. I found this helpful but it might not work for everyone. 

These next few months of waiting are hard. My advice looking back is to try to keep living and enjoying your life as much as you can.
