Why you get a B? You no B-sian, you A-sian!

I am applying to medical school this year, and I am worried about EVERYTHING: my grades, MCAT, research, extracurriculars; heck, I am even worried about my height, hair, and weight.
I feel like a disorganized, uninspired mess, so I am writing this blog to make sense of the Barnum and Baley that is the admissions process.
Various emotions (credit to SDN) I imagine I will be feeling as a re-applicant:
Enjoying the ride
How I really feel about the admissions process.
What, you lost my secondary again?
Interviewer: Why do you want to become a doctor?
Me (to self): Did you not read my primary? What about the secondary? What am I paying for?
Me (to interviewer, with utmost sincerity): I like helping people.
Interviewer (to self, trying to control disdain): Rejection pile.
I should've totally talked about that one time in band camp...
Fly on the wall at an adcom meeting...
Another rejection?
