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"

over the past few days have been rejected from:

UConn via email.
Emory (had to call - they don't think it necessary to contact people).
Iowa (again, had to call for same reason)
UTSA (again had to call)
Utah via email.
MCW via email.
UWisconsin via email.


I'm couples matching (she's applying in Family Med) so I called several of the places to find out where she needs to schedule interviews. Best of luck to you all.

Rejection from Pitt as well today, 11/29. I dont know if I would call it "official" since the only reason I know is because they accidentally sent us all the info regarding the cocktail party and then decided it might not be a good idea if all of us who were rejected (and did not yet know it) showed up for some free drinks. No problem here -- same result either way and gave me a good laugh.

Duke Rejection on 11/30 via email:
"Our Residency Selection Committee has reviewed your application to the Duke Orthopaedic Residency Training Program. I regret to inform you that you have not been selected to interview at Duke.

Due to the large number of highly qualified applicants and the limited number of interviews we can offer, we are not able to issue invitations to many excellent candidates. I am certain you will do well in the program to which you will match. "

Long Island Jewish gave the "at this time, you have not been granted an
interview" by email on 11/30.

Perhaps my application will look better at a different time.

Jefferson said "uh, no" on 11/30.

In the past week, also got the finger from Duke, Boston, Utah, Columbia and U Conn.

Ouch, this is a painful process.

Damn!

Prior to Thanksgiving things were looking up, now is going downhill FAST.

Rejected by UC-Irvine on 11/30 via snail mail
Rejected by Pitt and Thomas Jefferson via email on 11/30

I remember the good ol' days when I used to check my email only to find 2 rejections for every 1 invite. NOW, I've gotten 13 straight "thanks but no thanks".

Somebody, anybody invite me over. I'd love to visit ur program!

UW is nuts!

they send some wierd rejection letter saying they're interviewing people only "serious" to match into their program. I guess I'm not serious. Actually, these thousands of dollars I'm spending for interviewing, flights, hotel rooms, applying, etc - it's all really just a joke. I'm not really going to rank anyplace anyways.

In fact, forget Ortho, I was kidding when I decided to apply.

Actually, I think I'll just go find myself a "suitable program", but wait a minute, if I have 250+ boards, many honors, and lotsa extracurriculars and am still 'unsuitable' for 'UW Ortho', I am not suitable for ANY ORTHO, so why bother searching around for some mysterious "suitable program"...

I agree with you, Cain. That was a pretty rude letter. Not sure which one is worse, hopkins or uw.

No love from Tufts.

Now UMass is the only one that can keep me from a complete Massachusetts shutout.
