Interview Rejection Thread 2009-2010

Howard - email 2/2

I would honestly just rather have an honest reject letter. I wouldn't be mad at all if the letter said that I didn't meet their application requirements.

They are too afraid to do that now. Every rejection I got said something to the effect of "although we have many excellent candidates who apply, we are not able to offer every one an interview. Good luck blah blah blah..."

Just out of curiousity, has anyone heard of rejection letters that are a little more honest, like "your application does not meet our standards" or "you failed to complete xxx of the application" or "dude, come on... get serious!" I have heard they used to send out rejections like this (except the last one of course).

Yeah, talk about a wacko process!

Union Memorial sent me an interview invite. I wrote them to say I wouldn't be able to make it. Then they sent me a rejection letter.

Guess they really wanted to have the last word...

Nebrasky ugh.

For a lot of the programs I have applied to, I have heard nothing either way. I know they have sent out invitations, but it appears as if they still haven't sent rejections.

For example, neither Pitt nor Emory actually sent anything this year officially notifying us we're out of the running, but since their interview dates have passed, it's probably safe to assume we're finished. based on last year's threads, i know they have notified applicants in the past that they had been rejected.

I'm thinking about sending emails to the following programs to see if they are still considering folks but figured I would ask here first. Maybe some of you all have already talked to them]

I believe that Maryland said that if you don't get a rejection that you are still under consideration, although I am not sure if they have rejected anyone yet.

some places might just delay sending rejection letters in case they get cancellations and can pull some more interviewers out of the ones they "havent rejected yet." optimistically speaking that is.

washu

also NYU and union memorial (but they just sent out invites so i'm willing to wait for a little while longer).

what is up with this trend of not bothering to let you know that you're rejected?

I really appreciate them sending their rejection with subject line "Interview at UCLA".

That didn't briefly get my hopes up or anything
