Although I haven't received any yet, I'm sure that we're all doomed to get a few. I thought it might be helpful to everyone to start this thread along with the invitation thread... a good way to tell these programs "GFY"

Spardi--we feel your pain. I have stopped posting my rejections for fear orthogate would run out of server space. As soon as a good email comes in, 4 "save it's" appear in your in-box before you even have a chance to smile.

I haven't been rejected this often since my 8th grade dance. And if you think I'm a tool now...

Wow. Remembering middle school makes the match seem almost warm and fuzzy.

Keep your head up, kids.

This application process has made me a more humble person.
All these rejections are making me feel almost like an idiot.

Spardi, you are most definitely not alone. Here's my contribution for the day:

Rejections from Tufts and OHSU both via e-mail.

My home state (OHSU) told me to screw off for the second time in 4 years. I guess they had enough of me.

Got the boot from McLaren via e-mail on 12/1. Damn, I really wanted to see if Flint was as nice as Michael Moore makes it out to be.

hey guys, keep your heads up. we all get rejections (just some more than others).

I realize I am one of the more fortunate ones, but my rejections have slowly been creeping in and my silent list has been growing (now up to 11). I also got the axe from loyola and OHSU yesterday. I guess you need thick skin to get through this process.

U of Penn is confident that they've secured enough committed interviewees to fill their spots so they gave me the boot.
12/2 email.

Medical College of Virginia and Tulane by email 12/2.

Wasn't too sure about Tulane since there was nothing in the email about where it was from, just that all of their spots were filled. The from address was @tulane.edu, so I assume Tulane is the one telling me enough people finally said yes so they don't have to string me along anymore.

So far today,

Let's add insult to injury with UPenn, UCSD, and Tulane all via email on 12/2.

Hey guys, what's it like posting messages on the Invites thread?

Stanford, though not accredited, has rejected me. That stings.
Tulane told me that Mardi Gras is over.
UC San Diego told me to "Stay Classy"

Actually, Stanford is accredited. They were placed on "probation" automatically for not having a chair. They have a chair now and should be removed soon. Just wanted to clarify that for people who don't know.
They really should have clarifed that in their email.
