So after reading the rejections list, there's a few places that are notorious for being lazy/rude/unprofessional enough to not notify applicants that they've gotten the big thumbs down or just the finger. I thought it'd be nice to start a list dedicated to whom not to expect a Christmas card...

I still haven't heard anything from the Florida programs, the Illinois programs, or UTSW.

I'll assume silence from Michigan is a big GFY.

Mt. Sinai said "decisions will be made by December 13th." Interview dates will be 1/21 and 1/22. Have not heard from other NYC programs, but didn't apply to HSS or HJD

Rush makes decisions very late... I think I was reading that on their website... you might wanna check it out. As far as the NYC programs go, echo what was said about Mt. Sinai and haven't heard from the others either.

From what I hear Northwestern offers a few interviews about every week throughout november and december. Unfortunately, I hear they pretty much match only their students and rotators. I guess this could be a good thing if your rotated their.

Anyword from Virginia anyone?

I contacted university south carolina, medical university south carolina, and medical college of georgia. They all said, we'll been sending out more invitations in the coming days and that "you're good but not good enough" notices will also be issued.

I'm with you on the Maryland thing. I'm not sure what's going on down there, but I'm glad I'm not the only one

Anyone hear back from New Mexico with an assigned interview date yet? I got my invite last week and sent in my preference for dates, but I haven't heard back yet. With my luck, they probably never got my e-mail and the slots probably filled.

Hey guys, hey guys, can I join the Maryland team? Huh? Can I? Puh-leeeze?

Geez, they even called me to tell me that my app received a good score from the first reviewer.

And - my UC Irvine rejection was inappropriately addressed to a "Mr." As if one more rejection would add to my testicular girth...

Raven, i too sent in my email acceptance to new mexico and they haven't got back to me yet. might be worth a phone call, though i'm sure it's fine.

same thing has happened with albany, so i may call them as well if i don't hear in the next few days.

anyone else hear back from albany after they accepted an invite by email?

I emailed New Mexico this morning about it, and she emailed me back this afternoon confirming my first choice date. Not sure what the delay is/was all about.

so does the fact that I haven't heard from Maryland mean that while I haven't been cut from the team yet, I can only hope to make JV?

Also, has anyone that did not rotate at UTSW hear from them at all?

I talked to the coordinator at Maryland today. They divided the applications in half. One half has been reviewed and invitations sent for December 11. The other half is still to be reviewed, so having heard nothing yet is not necessarily a bad sign. Hope this helps.
