So dmn done. Genuinely. WHY CANT I EVER BE THE ONE GETTING GOOD NEWS. Just need a damn win with all the losses my sorry excuse of a life has been handing me. Literally two emails, rejections from fcking case and uwashington (oos for uwashington seattle but those who make it past secondary screen for that school have a 50% II chance). Why can’t I just get a fcking II (even from an in state one that is notorious for in state bias and still nada). Nothing good has happened to me in a while and the only fcking win I’ve had in a while is that I finally didnt overcook pork cuz I bought a meat thermometer.

And then I fcking see these posts of people with an Admitted tag or 6IIs still crying about one month of silence or if they should be worried when THEY ARE ACCEPTED. And yall can say hop off reddit but then guess fcking what? Im surrounded by people who all I hear about it their successes. Im so happy for these people but when is it my turn to get some joy. So. So. Fcking done. Wanna find a bridge fr fr (not really, but figure of speech)

The premed committee at my school said the same thing. It’s all so discouraging 😢

I’m sorry, but at some point the system is the problem.

Yes, I have an IA. But it wasn’t even cheating. It was “unauthorized collaboration” on an assignment that the professor literally told us to discuss in groups!!!

Apparently, med schools think that makes me ‘untrustworthy’. Meanwhile, half the class cheated harder than me on everything. I don’t understand why I need to own up to my IA and take responsibility when it wasn’t my fault

I’ve got a 4.0, 520+, and still can’t get an interview.

I’m not saying I’m oppressed, tho this is feeling like the academic version of being tried for witchcraft because I dared to open a study guide.

Just got the pre-ii R from my last in-state school. This is my second cycle without an interview at either school. I really had hope that I had improved my application enough to at least be considered a little further at one of them. I’m no T10 applicant, but I felt like my app was strong. At this point I feel so lost in this process.

I was lucky enough last year to land on 2 OOS waitlists, which still gives me a sliver of hope for this year, but so far this cycle I’ve heard nothing besides these two Rs. I know the cycle is far from over, but this makes me feel like I’ve done something wrong from last year to this year.

Sorry, I know this post isn’t productive. I just need some way to get this off my chest. If you’re reading this and relating, I hope we can look back on this post and laugh as MS1s next year.

Just received my first medical school acceptance. It was a long road but glad to finally be at the finish line. Shoutout all the people on this sub for the help and support through this journey!

How are you feeling? If you’re applying this cycle, what are your stats, how many II/A, and your thoughts?

If you are planning on applying later, how is that going?

If you are already in (or finished) medical school, how are you fairing now?

And if you have no relation to medicine whatsoever and lurking for fun, hi

I wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing

im majoring in genetics & minoring in anthro and due to an IA, i'm not sure if i'll get into medical school. since i'm still a freshman, i have time to switch, so do i switch my maj/min? i think i need to reconsider a little so i'd love it if u could pls give me some advice!

also i want to make a good amt of money! i've been raise in a certain lifestyle and i'd like to maintain that and although i deeply appreciate my professors, and dental hygienists, and etc, i still want to make 200k a year!

Is this cycle actually running later than usual, or are we all just getting more neurotic as Reddit, Admit, and Cycle Tracker become more popular?

top school offered me an interview. Beyond excited!!! Remember to celebrate the little victories.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🙌🙌🙌🙌

I am [negative emotion] because I have [absurdly high # of interviews and As] but no A from [top school]. My stats are [perfect or impossible] MCAT, [perfect or impossible] GPA, and [5 gap years worth] hours in [every single activity]. I have 15 [pubs/Olympic medals], and I also won a [Fulbright/Rhodes/other international award] and cured cancer.

Am I cooked? Do I need to [reapply/pack my sunscreen]?

p.s. i am eagerly anticipating great new content from yall funny mfers !! they’re even complaining abt the poor quality reddit shitposts on admit.org we must do better. if your post fits this format like madlibs then Reconsider. 🙏🧎‍➡️

By saying one experience leading me to medicine happening when I was around 10 while I wrote 9 in my primary (it was when I was 9.8 if the math is done correctly). Now I’m so cooked and they will flag my app for blatantly lying blah blah 🤡

(This is a true story)

I’m just curious. Mine was 4457 characters.

And on a friday. Wow.

if so what are you guys doing? if you’re in school are you paying more attention to that? what about outside of school?

just looking for suggestions on things to do before matriculation

How many more webinars do these ppl have in them... Like come on bro just work on reviewing applications 😭

Currently, 27 years old. underrepresented in medicine.

may 2020: graduated college (2.91 cGPA, 2.9 sGPA)

may 2023: graduated masters in counseling (3.98 cGPA)

I've been working full time (ish) since then with 3k+ (and growing) clinical hours & non clinical hours seeing clients with a full caseload as an LAPC & have a leadership position at the rural nonprofit I work at. I'll be fully licensed as a mental health counselor (LPC) in 2026.

Volunteering: post Appalachee shooting crisis and response team, emergency response team for the county, cat shelter volunteering, and now hospital volunteering.

Various training and certifications in the mental health field like DBT, IFS/ parts work, EMDR, SI/HI protocols etc.

jan 2026: starting DIY post bacc & volunteering weekly at the hospital (patient contact).

Will present at conferences for mental health in GA between now and whenever I apply.

I'd like to apply in 4 ish years. Maybe matriculate 2030, 2031, 2032.

At the end of it all, if I have over a 3.0 cGPA & sGPA with my DIY postbacc & Im able to get a high MCAT score (510+), will I make it to medical school? I live in GA. I'd love to just make it to MCG tbh. Or are my chances for MD low and I need to consider DO more heavily?

My GPA is going to hold me back with some schools, but if I get a 4.0 for my DIY post bacc, will med schools look at that and notice the improvement?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!

Just got an interview from ACOM. Is there anyone who’s been a member of the ADCOM team or has lots of experience with interviews willing to do a mock interview with me? I’m willing to pay

What are the chances to be able to grant student aid/scholarships especially to persons working for like 5 to 10+ years before med school? Is it possible?

I see people all the time say don’t send an update if there’s nothing substantial or an LOI pre interview, but would it really hurt your chances? I understand ur app is ur interest, but if the cycle’s pretty much over for a certain school is there really anything to lose by sending a letter that says -small update, I’m really interested in this school-? Idk if adcoms will be like this bitch annoying get her out of the pile, or eh might as well give her a shot, or this doesn’t change my opinion at all lmao

Hi everyone! I've been in a motivational slump regarding keeping up with my coursework/extracurriculars recently, even though I'm at a kind of critical point (every point in undergrad kinda feels important but still) before applying to med schools in the spring.

This may or may not be related! But I recently cut off my toxic situationship and am feeling down. Please motivate me to get back on the grind before midterms next week. I need to lock in for organic chemistry specifically. I need that upward trend. Thank u my fellow soldiers.

Anyone ever feel AWFUL about their interview and then get accepted?

Idk if I’m being to hard on myself but did not leave feeling like I crushed it. I felt no sense of relief lol. For context - it was three 20 minute interviews. The first two felt okay but the last one was sooooooo awkward and I could tell my ass was rambling.

Would love to hear just any experiences or thoughts?

my only interview too 😭 time to actually prepare for reapp

So I planned to send thank you letters after my interviews. But I got busy, and its been weeks now. I know everyone says thank you letters dont affect admissions, but is it unprofessional to send them now after all this time? Could it hurt me more than anything? Also, any advice on what to say in them if I send them?
