Why Was I Even Waitlisted?????
I’m currently sitting on a WL for a T5 with a 509 MCAT AND with one bad interview. There’s been WL movement, but surprise surprise, I didn’t get off it.
I never had high expectations anyways to get in after my interview. It was my absolute DREAM school, and I was so nervous during the first interview it went TERRIBLY (it was realllyyyy bad, I may have accidently offended the MD interviewer, but it was just word vomit after anxiety took over, I fumbled it so bad).
So when they hit me with the WL, I was genuinely confused. But ofc, everyone around me was hitting me with the “Hey, but that means there’s still hope! There’s a chance you can get in!” So, I sometimes let hope creep in and make me cautiously optimistic.
But we all know I’m never getting in! Sorry, I’m just so angry about the whole situation, I’m very lucky to have an acceptance elsewhere at a very good school but it truly felt like I fumbled my dream. If I had just retaken my MCAT, maybe I would be accepted at my dream school. Maybe if I would have taken some damn propranolol before my interview, MAYBE I WOULD BE ATTENDING MY DREAM SCHOOL!
Now I will forever not have closure from the school since they don’t reject WL applicants, I will have to withdraw my WL spot there in a couple of weeks. But tell me, why didn’t they give me the post-ii R ??
