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'

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.

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.

#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....

called denver, colorado and was told that the first set of invites have been sent out and if anyone doesn't accept then additional invites may go out (i.e. we are waitlisted currenlty) however the coordinator didn't really know where different applicants stood on the waitlist if one person should cancel etc....

Called Univ Florida Jacksonsville Campus and they are done too, lovely rejction letters to come via ERAS soon

Called Union Memorial in Baltimore have NOT sent out any invites yet and will notify around december 1

Called Georgetown, some invites extended and more to come as more apps are reviewed, estimated 2 weeks to notify.

Called Temple, No invites sent out yet, will send out both invites/rejections hopefully by 1st or 2nd week in december. Only interview date is jan 14th.

Called Allegheny in Pittsburgh, they are DONE.

uconn...funniest rejection letter to date...

Thank you for sending your application to the University of Connecticut
Orthopaedic Residency Program. We had a very large number of applications
this year and a limited number of interviewing slots to fill thus the
screening process was time consuming and extremely difficult.

I am writing to report that the Selection Committee has submitted the names of
applicants selected to interview and the candidates have been notified. There
are no interview slots available at this time.


Again thank you. We wish you the very best in securing a position that offers
you the most beneficial opportunity to continue your medical training.

Just got the Brown rejection in Snail mail. I guess they sent it to be sure I remembered that they already rejected me a week ago in e-mail form. Just covering their bases.

Deemed "unworthy" at Harvard this morning.

On a side note, I just cancelled Emory and Minnesota this AM if anyone wants to try and jump into their interview calender.

In response to my application, the staff at the Medical College of Georgia respond, "Get him a body bag, yeeeaaaah" (Any Karate Kid fans?)

Seriously, who titles an email "Interview" in order to send a rejection. Why not eliminate all doubt and put it in the title. I almost had my calendar out to check dates. Damnit!
