Do most programs tell you straight up you ain't getting an interview? I just assumed that they would give me the silent treatment was their way of telling to go !@*# myself.

I think some use the silent treatment but some do send out rejections.

Good Luck To All

The majority of programs send rejection letters. There are a few that leave you hanging - pretty unprofessional! You can always call and ask. Be careful about calling though; I received as many interviews as I did rejections when I called.

It is clearly far too early to call programs at this point.

alas--I received my first rejection on 10/22/2005 at 2:04pm (according to ERAS).

do tell...where....you are such a tease.....

ah--check the subject! Summa health systems

First rejection - University of Rochester, sent this morning via email. They let me down easy. It's good to know that "The entire faculty in the Department of Orthopaedics thanks you for considering us in your application process." It is nice that they give a definitive answer rather than keep me in suspense. Current status: 3 interview offers and 1 rejection.

Dear Applicant:

The Residency Selection Committee at the University of Rochester has carefully reviewed your recent application for a residency position.

We regret to inform you that we will be unable to offer you an interview. The applicant pool this year had an abundance of extremely well qualified people, making the selection for applicant interviews quite difficult. We sincerely wish we could interview everyone.

The entire faculty in the Department of Orthopaedics thanks you for considering us in your application process. We wish you well in your future academic pursuits.

good luck!

rejection from UNC this morning; not offered an interview

Rejections from Wake Forest and University of Arizona. Received 11/7

Rejected: Arizona via email 11/7: 400 applicants, 40 interviews offered.
Good luck to those 40 and the other 360 like me.

I'm with ya boss. Rejected by University of Arizona via email on 11/7/05

Good Luck!

arizona, wakeforest, rochester today.........ouch!!

baylor or houston should not bother rejecting me... because i m showing up regardless...

a blood bath in my INBOX:
rejections from
1. U of Rochest
2. Arizona

3. Allegheny sent out interview invitations (which I didnt get...) and i checked their site and they dont send out rejections... so i'm assuming that they're not interested... or they may have been serious about the whole
four LOR thing

so far 4 for good 3 for bad... cant wait to see what happens tomorrow.

Also, U of Maryland said they would let me know yes/no by 14NOV but I got a bad vibe...

Got the "It's not you, it's me"/"I love you but I'm not in love with you" email from Wake Forest. Any Seinfeld fans? Reminds me of George getting dumped at Monks.

George: "You're giving me the 'It's not you it's me' routine? I invented 'It's not you, it's me'. If it's anybody, it's me!"

Girl: "Alright George...it's you."

George: "You're damn right it's me!"

Received an ambiguous message from Indiana University today via snail-mail: "While we thank you for your interest in our program, you are not being considered for an interview at this time." Maybe they'll consider me next week?

you're killing me with the seinfeld reference...got any more?

Via snail-mail from Indiana Univesity - your application is on hold...wait list for a possible interview.

Got the ole middle finger from UNC today via email. At least they let me know early.

Ohio State and UNC today by email.
