Last I heard was nearly 600 from the initial cuts.

I got in ... holy ***?

Don't say that Hector! You have no idea where you rank among the applicants, I would not beat myself up all. Ps. 20/30 of the people that get into the program are not top applicants. You don't need to be a top applicant to get in, just top half LOL What I did to make myself feel better after it was over was to write down all the things that I thought I could've done better, so the next time I go through the process Ill be better equipped. If I have to apply somewhere again next year, I know I am going to crush it bc of what I learned this time around. It's all good my friend, no matter what happens.

Kaiser is my one true love ? ...but if they cant see how perfect we would be for one another, I may go out of state. Many programs (especially mid west) only receive 100 applicants per year. Kaiser has upwards of 600.... Have to weigh the entire picture though, attrition rates at some of these other places can be up to 25% or more compared to Kaiser 2-6%.

longest week ever...worst Super Bowl ever...?

I don’t feel like the panel interview mattered much at all. We will likely be scored on the two exams and structured interview might be most important.

It was referred to as an abstract writing assignment so it is most likely an essay on a random prompt topic like the GRE.

I'm tired of talking to myself in the mirror...If anyone wants to chat, message me. Not sure what's in store for us but verbal discussion practice cant hurt !
