TEMPLE JUST ACCEPTED ME!!!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING TO BE A DOCTOR!!!
These past couple of weeks have been the best in my life. It's great to know my best has been good enough for someone, and not just someone, but a great school!

It's been a while
I was feeling pretty good about things, but as the semester draws to a close it can only mean one thing for early applicants: schools are finding time to actually send out rejections.
Great. Anyway, I went to my Temple interview, it went pretty well, and I loved the school. I knew I was going to like the school based on their mission and the type of student they seem to be looking for, not to mention the supportive atmosphere, but I found myself loving it on my interview day. I'm really hoping for an acceptance, but feeling a bit concerned, as people who interviewed around the same time have already been accepted.... although my interviewer may not have been there, as he mentioned an upcoming trip during my interview. I haven't heard of any waitlists/rejections from around the same time, but part of me feels they just haven't had the time to send out those letters and update statuses. So for people with "interview complete" as their status still....not sure that's a good thing. Everyone likes to think that limbo = success, but secretly, we all expect the worst while hoping for the best. You can't help but think that people in a health career will understand how devastating it is to leave students without word for so long, as most people tend to interpret that as a hopeful situation, when in reality, you've been passed by.
And as I say this, I still remain hopeful. Sad.
I also have gotten rejections from Downstate and Albany. I'm expecting more in the mail as the year draws to a close, with a slim chance for a possible interview after the holidays. I remember feelin this way last year, and believe me, it hurts to think that I may have to run this whole thing over again. I have some pretty big decisions to make. I don't want to take the MCAT again in fear of another bad score, but I did so well on the practice exams, I feel it would be a waste not to go once more and really give it my all. Hmm..
Lots to think about this time of year. I hate that this will be happening during the holidays....
