It is still early in the cycle. I cannot emphasize that enough. Please, please, be kinder to yourself and trust that all the work you put into your application will shine through. Stop spending your time here comparing yourself or causing yourself more anxiety than needed. Continue with the activities, jobs, etc that you are doing. And enjoy your time and the people around you--you will have less of that free time in med school and spending your days worrying about a cycle that is nowhere near its end, isn't the way you want to look back at this time. Overall, interviews are still coming up until February--there is still time, take a breathe and be proud to have gotten this far.

Now, for the toxic and neurotic individuals here--grow up and get a life. Stop projecting onto others. Stop trolling. And stop reinforcing this toxic culture. If you are upset that you aren't getting what you think you "deserve", that is no one else's problem but your own. You make this website--meant for transparency in the med school application process--some competition that it is not. And truthfully, you all are just insufferable to listen to. Thank you.
