Ok, there should be a thread for these too (why should interviewees have all the fun).

Indiana via snail mail: offered no dates and told me to go fellate myself.

My wife is going to be soooo happy we don't have to move to Indiana.

my point wasn't that I wanted more interviews, just that I expected more professional behavior than the "assume you are rejected unless you hear from us" approach.

i guess my sarcasm wasn't apparent with my "I was really holding out for my hjd interview, but they finally rejected me today." maybe i should have included one of these

i am so done with interviews that i have started to grow my superstitious, playoff hockey-type beard (no shaving for 6 weeks; my wife is not happy with me).

I have a few programs that fit into this category, Including one that has put me on their wait list for interviews...At this point, I could care less. It seems like every place that I go to I like. I just want to do ortho and I think I would be happy anywhere. One more interview would just add to the confusion. Its hard to tell who is being honest with you and who is not.

i was really holding out for my hjd interview, but they finally rejected me today.

now if the other four programs who haven't returned emails, phone calls or bothered to reject me on their own (you know who you are lenox hill, san fran, etc), would get off of their collective butts and reject me, that would be nice (i am not still hoping for interviews, it would just be courteous).

anyone else besides me just think that that is VERY unprofessional? i spent $25 on them, they can't spend 20 seconds sending me a form email saying i suck, and that i should be drawn and quartered for even thinking about applying to their program.

i gotta give credit to temple, hss and indiana, who spent $0.37 and used a nice piece of departmental stationary to reject me.

Called New York Med (Queens Brooklyn) today... they said notices went out 2 weeks ago by snail mail and all invites are confirmed. Just thought I would post this since I didnt see anybody list an invite or rejection from there.
Also called Lennox Hill.... told over the phone no interview.

Mt. Sanai just gave me the "we have carefully reviewed your ENTIRE application and have concluded that you're a midwestern hillbilly that is not suitable for our program. However, good luck on matching with your own kind." Cant wait to spend Christmas day unconscious under the tree covered with Milwalkee's Best and vomit.

HJD just gave me the shaft. Who wants to be in Manhattan anyway?

dookiebob,

UVA sent me a 1 line email less than a week before the time i had applied to rotate there saying they were full. i applied for the month of august, and had all my stuff in to them by mid-april. also put in the box for "second choice" that i'd really like to rotate there, so just let me know if august isn't available, and that i'd work something out to come another month. clearly it worked wonderfully

UVa gave me the boot as well...

I'm curious noskis, how did UVa reject you for the away rotation??? My friend called them up literally three days before he wanted to rotate there, and they allowed him to rotate there without any hesitation.

Campbell Clinic and UVA finally got around to rejecting me over the last day or two. that makes two rejections from UVA, once for the away rotation and once for the actual program.....i guess my essay on why i want to go to UVA wasn't very convincing

Got the boot from SUNY Stoneybrook today. Only a few more rejections left before I hear from everyone on my list.

In regards to the Mt Sinai email- it was not a waitlist notification. I looked into it, and apparently what it said is pretty much what they meant-they are reviewing application and send out stuff soon. I also was told some vague suggestions that actual invites may come out Monday (take this all with a grain of salt)

brown was nice enough to reject me again today....this time by snail mail. guess they were worried that i missed the "you suck" email they sent out last week.

HSS was very kind in their snail mail rejection.

That's the one... My buddy got the rejection the same day, so I can only assume that I'm on the wait list.

dookiebob, did you receive an email directly stating you had been waitlisted...the email i got stated:
"Applications are still currently being reviewed by our Committee... We have many deserving candidates and are working to create our invitation list. Hopefully, we will be notifying you by e-mail in
the next couple of weeks..."

Add Rush, Brown, Stanford and Cleveland Clinic to the list.\

Mt. Sinai waitlisted...

I think some schools may not even give rejection notices at all
