This process is such an emotional roller coaster

I just received my 6th WL from a school that I was REALLY excited about, so I guess I just need to vent about what an emotional roller coaster this whole process has been.

I applied to 22 MD schools and was fortunate to receive 8 II's. My first II was from my dream school (a T15). I cried when I got the invite. I was so so so happy. But I ended up getting rejected post-interview. Not even waitlisted. I'm still sad about it.

Of the 6 schools that waitlisted me, I thought I had genuinely fantastic interviews at 3 of them. My interviewers at these schools even complimented me and basically said that they hoped I would choose their school. I felt so confident after each of these interviews. Getting waitlisted felt like a real gut punch, especially this last one (my new top choice).

I HAVE received one acceptance, along with a full-tuition scholarship. I know this is amazing, and I do feel extremely grateful and lucky, but this school was at the very bottom of my list because I had read a bunch of negative things about it. I realize that salty people who have an axe to grind are more likely to post about their experiences than people who have had good/neutral experiences, but these posts still left me feeling wary of the school. It's also in a city that I'm not crazy about living in.

Again, I'm super grateful for the A, and I will absolutely make the best of it if I don't end up getting off my top choice WL. But right now I feel sad and frustrated. I truly thought I was going to receive good news today and that I would get to attend this school's second look and start apartment hunting in this city. Now I still have to wait until May to know for sure where I'm moving this summer.
