I am by no means to kill the buzz but is anyone else preparing for Plan B if all fails? I know it's still early to quit but I spent the entire day (literally, I meant it) just really thinking about what I want to do and what I can do to better my applications, I came to a conclusion that it's personally and professionally better for myself to have more experience. Throughout this whole process, I couln't help but to feel that I rushed myself too much to finish up the applications this first cycle. Now I know I have a list of things that I will be doing over this new year, I feel much at ease now. 
Enough of self actualization, good luck with interviews everyone, I am rooting for all of you!!!  

My first interview invite, as a second time applicant who got zero interviews first time round this feels so surreal!!

I'm sorry I had to say something but I can't believe there are people who are actually posting false interview invites. This is really unacceptable on so many levels.

Yea this was my thought process too, and I initially fell for the posts lol. 
It is insensitive because there are many applicants who have strong applications and come from diverse backgrounds so seeing these sort of stats would add even more anxiety to an already insanely competitive season.

Lol those fake posts... I am not ashamed to say that I fell for it before someone pointed out. But honestly, what's the point of posting fake interviews?

I knew those were too shifty! You would have had to be a truly off-putting person to actually get rejected with those sorts of stats. 

Thank you for bringing this up! To be honest, I’m a little glad those are fake. The problem solver in me was thinking, “What was your statement like? The GRE? If they can’t get in then how do I have any hope!” 

It’s genuinely disgusting and I hope all of those person’s posts get removed. I really have no words.
