Before I submitted my application, I found myself saying "I'll feel better when I have my first interview" to which a friend replied "Nope, you'll just keep wanting more". She's right. One interview invite, or two, or three, is nowhere near enough. It is never enough.
A little over a month into the residency application process and I have far from enough interviews scheduled. In fact, I have about half the interviews I need/ want. I'm growing increasingly fearful that I wont get anymore invites or off any of the wait-lists. Especially seeing as the last week has brought only rejections and I've never before had luck with getting off a wait-list. With each passing day I grow ever more fearful and anxious. I find myself worrying that these people reading my application, who don't know me as anything other than a pile of papers, will stand in the way of the future I want. I wish there was a way to show them what kind of kick ass ob/gyn I will become, if only they will give me a chance. And to make them understand why I need to leave the South for training.
Maybe tomorrow will bring another invite or two? Or an interview from one of the wait-lists I'm impatiently sitting on? Please?
