Rejections 2005-2006

rejection from UNC this morning; not offered an interview

University of Rochester via email today (11/7) at 9:26 am

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.

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.

ah--check the subject! Summa health systems

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

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

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.

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



Good Luck To All

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.
