Title.

I rmr being in your same position last year. I literally thought my supp app was fire and I had like a 99.smtn average. Like I genuinely believed I was getting in.

Fast forward to d-day and I got rejected. Haha what a bozo 🤣 but I just remember a pit forming in my stomach and feeling so depressed. What made it worse is that this person from my school who was a mid 90s student got in. I literally remember just randomly breaking down into an uncontrollable sob while in the car with my mom.

But having been through it all, I can confidently say that it was not the end of the world. I was lucky enough to be accepted into another great program with a great financial aid offer (don’t wanna dox myself) and thankfully I was able to get a 4.0 in first year.

Bottom line, if you get rejected today, I can promise you it’s not the end of the world. Like literally I promise u. You may think it’s you accepting mediocrity or settling for less but everything happens for a reason. It’s normal to feel sad at first so the biggest thing is say is to just give urself time. It is in no way a reflection of your abilities given how abstract the process is and luck based it is.

Mb for the rant lmao I just remember feeling super duper fucking depressed last year with my rejection and it took a long time to heal but hey, I did it, and you can too.

I just wish schools would be a lot more transparent with their admissions criteria so that premeds weren’t stuck losing years off their life stressing about things that could easily be shared by the schools.
