Although I haven't received any yet, I'm sure that we're all doomed to get a few. It might be helpful to everyone to start this thread along with the invitation thread.

Include the institution, the date you got it, & the method (email, snail-mail, etc).

I'll post mine as soon as I get em'

#9. Sorry -- you have offered a lot of good information on this board, and I have appreciated some of your info.....
I think you will do fine, you have plenty of interviews.....the stats say that if you go on 10 interviews you have a >90% chance of matching.....you have 14 or so interviews so you are gonna do just fine.......
I noticed you deleted your posts.....so what if you got rejected from those places....you have a ton of interviews......I think you just need to relax a bit and not get so caught up in the tit for tat game....

After teasing me this morning by sending an e-mail stating they would let us know later in the day whether or not they wanted us, I received a "Letter of Regret" e-mail from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.

At least it was clear what was in the e-mail before I opened it.

re: Louisville, from what I can tell, no one heard from them previously, and they sent two simultaneous e-mails around 5:40pm EST, invite and rejects; are there people who applied but did not get an e-mail? if so, then you are on the wait list.

I have a feeling the two emails contained everybody, and there is no wait list; if they need to invite more from the rejected list, they'll probably take those of us who will invariably write back and beg.

good luck everybody.

This almost made me laugh.....I got dinged by Fort Wayne Medical Education Program , withover 200 fabulous other contestants....I was not one of the 30 picked.....makes no sense....the other place in indiana thought I was good enough......

THIS IS AN ILLOGICAL PROCESS....I think they put our pictures on a wall, drink some beers, and throw darts at the wall.....if your picture gets hit
you get interviewed.......thats my only thought

...gave me the No-face.

"On behalf of UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School Department of Orthopaedics, we would like to thank you for applying to our program. Unfortunately, you have not been granted an interview this year. As you know, orthopaedic residencies are becoming increasingly competitive and therefore the decision process for interview invitations becomes more stringent and we are forced to make difficult decisions. We do wish you the best in your search for a good residency match and for your future endeavors."
