A lot of people are now starting to get rejections (sucky as it may be) - and it's making more than a few (including myself) a little nervous/edgy.

Being a numbers guy, I thought I'd post some stats, just to give an example of another applicant. Maybe others will follow suit.

Total Apps: 60
Programs that have sent out interviews that I applied to: 12
Interview offers: 3 (25%)
Rotations that count as interviews: 2
Total Interviews: 5
Rejections: 2 (Wake, Med Coll of GA)
-I'm a pretty average applicant

Randomly posting this kind of stuff might help keep us all on pace with where we're at - so people don't have to continually ask, "How am I doing?"

I got the Yale interview! It will probably conflict with another interview but I am super psyched!

My rejection from UNC had no mention of being on a wait list, so they may have an actual wait list that they plan to dip into.

My waitlists are from the same 2. I think georgetown may be a mass email, but I think UNC is a "select few" (ie. probably 250 people

wow, cNh, you are doing well! those look like good stats.

what i find painful about this whole process is the fact that many of the programs to which i applied have sent out interview invites, and yet i continue to hear nothing from them. im pretty sure some of them (ahem, pitt, jefferson, iowa) are done inviting interviewees (correct me if anyone can confirm otherwise), so i wish they would just reject me already... EW.

Thanks! So far so good, but having interviews doesn't mean you'll match. I know from experience.

Ya, it sucks not knowing ya or nah. But even the "top" programs wait cause even they get cancellations last minute. There are alot of programs and not many weekends.

Not sure if you've applied to them already, but there are also a few programs with December 1st deadlines that you could still send your application to. Double check it, but I believe St Luke's-Bethlehem, NYMC-Manhattan, Hawaii, and New Mexico are all still accepting apps. Probably others too.

Wow, I'm on a roll today! Three more invites in row, I'm up to 12.
Hopefully other reapplicants can get some hope from my success. Never give up!

Keep the faith guys, I'm pretty sure the invite from UCONN is due to others cancelling. Don't give up!
