With everyone on here seemingly a ball of anxiety don't forget to breathe. Life is going to be okay and keep moving. Being a little older than most applicants I've already many "my life is over" moments. But guess what? My life wasn't over and things went on and often turned out just fine. It wasn't over when I was spiraling in the last few weeks of finishing my master's thesis. It wasn't over when I got a C in OChem 2. It wasn't over when I got a 503 on the MCAT.

It's only over if you quit. Life is going to be full of "my life is over" moments. Of course sometimes things work out how you want. But sometimes they don't even if you tried your hardest. What are you going to do when you don't get the clinical evaluation you wanted? Lower step score than you wanted? Don't match? Fail a class?

Life is about adversity and resilience. How do we respond when not given what we want. Control what you can control. You've done your interview, maybe sent a LOI, and now you might be waiting, but don't let an outcome control your whole life and mind. And if you don't attain what you deem to be success then success must be redefined.

I know this is easier to say since I already have an A, but there are WL I'm hoping to get off of too. And if I don't, then life will go. If I hadn't gotten in anywhere I would have been super disappointed. But Life would go. Regardless of your cycle outcome, life will go on for you too. In 500 years no one will give a flying ffff where John Smith went to med school.

Be proud of yourselves! I hope everyone gets off the WL they want!
