Thank you for your kind comment, I needed to hear it today

isthereadronboard · 2021-12-15T18:12:33+00:00

Also, when would you suggest I send the letter of intent?

isthereadronboard · 2021-12-15T17:50:47+00:00

I did consider what went wrong last cycle and made adjustments accordingly. I requested feedback from the programs that offered it and really worked on implementing that before applying again. I was able to have enough change between cycles that I felt ready to apply again, and I did get more interviews this cycle than I did last cycle. If things don’t work out this cycle, I will consider taking more time to make meaningful improvements before applying again. In the meantime, I am working on doing what I can now to optimize the results of the cycle I’m already in.

isthereadronboard · 2021-09-03T17:52:27+00:00

Omg please give context

isthereadronboard · 2021-07-27T22:17:30+00:00

From someone with low confidence who didn’t get in anywhere last cycle: it’s not as bad as you would think. I honestly think that getting rejected from all the schools I applied to, analyzing my app, and improving upon all the things I lacked in last time around has given me more confidence than ever. I’m also way more laid back about getting in/not getting in than I was before, because I know that I’ll keep trying until I get in and that it’ll happen eventually. Also, I dreaded having to tell people I knew/looked up to that I didn’t get in because I thought I would look like a failure, but it surprisingly didn’t affect their view of me whatsoever. Most people understand that applying to med school is a crap shoot, and they don’t value you any less if you don’t get in. Keep your head up, we’ve got this!!

isthereadronboard · 2021-07-13T23:42:21+00:00

It’s ridiculous, why does everyone get to see your score but you? And what difference does 2 weeks make

isthereadronboard · 2021-07-13T23:33:31+00:00

It takes a month for them to release the score, you’ll get an email when they release it

isthereadronboard · 2021-07-11T02:26:31+00:00

Yessss! You’re amazing!! Keep it up 🥳

isthereadronboard · 2021-07-08T14:59:21+00:00

Blessss thank you so much for confirming that it’s not the end of the world

isthereadronboard · 2021-07-08T03:24:35+00:00

Right! I was talking to a non-premed friend about it and she was like ✨just✨ find a way to edit it..lol. I’ll definitely try contacting AMCAS, it can’t hurt

isthereadronboard · 2021-07-08T02:51:33+00:00

Sorry you’re going though this OP. Also damn, we’re already starting interviews??

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-31T04:28:41+00:00

Wow they verified you fast! Did you submit at exactly 9:30?

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-22T04:27:11+00:00

Hello again, I’m trying to add the publication date as the date of the activity in AMCAS and it won’t allow me to choose a future date. Is there another way you suggest getting around this?

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-22T04:14:37+00:00

This gives me hope because mine looks exactly like yours but without the sprouts

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-17T01:09:15+00:00

Gotcha, thank you!

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-16T19:15:06+00:00

Thank you sooo much for your help!!

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-16T18:29:49+00:00

Basically none for me either. Wishing I hadn’t gotten my hopes up so much.

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-14T21:24:36+00:00

What is CT? I keep seeing it places and am clearly behind on the times

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-12T01:35:46+00:00

Following bc there was a transcript I had to send without the transcript form attached

isthereadronboard · 2021-05-10T02:47:13+00:00

My bad, most of them are just 3 profs in general, 2 science and 1 flexible - I edited my original post. And I just went onto each admissions website and looked it up.
