As someone with still no MD interviews as of yet, I, of course, did the thing I shouldn't have: went back and re-read my app and nitpicked every flaw.

I have been scouring my brain, thinking of every possible hole in my application that has led to this silence. I went back and read my personal statement again + some of my secondaries from schools that rejected me and I realized how much I hate my personal statement. Despite having it looked over by a dozen people, I realized it does not capture my 'Why Medicine' nearly as well as I thought it did. Now I'm sitting here wondering if that's why I have no interviews? Because the adcoms first impression of me is that they can't really tell what makes me want to be a doctor so bad?

For context - I am a solid writer, but I fear my 'why public health' or 'why MD/MPH' might have rang far louder than my why MD

And I also know that there is probably no point in kicking myself over something I can't change, and I did put my best foot forward with what I had at that moment, but god damn this process is such a learning curve, and I wish I could do so many things differently!!! I can even pinpoint 2 sentences in my essay that I would completely change because they do not communicate what I want them to. And even though I really do NOT want to reapply, I already know so many things I would do better.
