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"

saturday morning boot (11/13) boot from wake forest. it was actually a really nice letter:

"Thank you for your interest in and application to our Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Training Program at Wake Forest University. Each year the quality of our applicants becomes increasingly more competitive. The candidates this year were the most outstanding group I have yet encountered. This is wonderful for us, but disappointing, I'm sure, for many of you who have worked so hard and achieved so much..."

I actually didn't apply to Yale for the sole reason that I wouldn't be able to fill out that supplemental form by their deadline. Not that I'd want to live in New Haven anyway

As they say on That 70s Show ... "Nice BURN"

But seriously, thanks for posting that.

I was wondering how important all that supplemental information crap is, if the school doesn't even bother telling you that you have to fill it out.

Now I know.

Not trying to be a complete jackass, but I didn't even know Yale had supplemental information (therefore I didn't fill it out) and I got an offer.

Yale says no 11/12. Supplemental forms? Let me just call my letter writters a third time after my school "misplaced" them the first time and UW wants thier own forms. Although I would like to think the rejection is based only on my lack of qualifications.

Was not surprised by a Yale rejection-

Can you believe these guys had the nerve to request supplemental materials and didn't even post the stuff until 3 or 4 weeks after starting the application process?

I can't give my letter writers supplemental materials AGAIN (Wash U, U Wash)- I'd rather forget Yale than piss off my letter writers with more supplemental junk.

Schools normally interview about 10 people per spot.
So... 2 spots ... 20 interviews

Got the boot from Fort Wayne Indiana

"Thank you for your interest in our Program. Dr. Cummiskey has finished reviewing the nearly 200 ERAS applications we received this year. It's always difficult to narrow that list down to 20 or so when there are so many qualified candidates. Regrettably, you were not chosen for an interview. I wish you the best in your medical career.
