I can always appreciate an "I'm not the only one getting the boot" post...

Keeping the same format as our Interview forum:
Georgetown - email - 11/4
Wisconsin - email - 11/4

I found it interesting how Georgetown sent me a rejection letter about 2 hrs after downloading my MSPE. I wonder if they even looked at it....o wells

I am just glad to get my first one. It would have been sweet to have Georgetown on my rank list though.

Congrats to everyone who got interview there.

I’m glad we can all find humor in rejection letters even though some rejections sting like a bee. I got rejected from MUSC Charleston and the rejection letter was quick to the point. The annoying issue is when programs beat around and send lengthy emails before they finally come around to saying "no Interview."

For example Wisconsin felt the need to explain to me why i didnt get an interview saying ........."We had an exceptionally large number of applicants to our program this year for a limited number of openings. Unfortunately, you were not selected to come for an interview."

Anywho, good luck to all applicants out there.

UT-Houston - email says their Step I interview cutoff is 240
Georgetown

lol..can't wait for someone below 240 to post about their invite..although i bet they might be scared to do it. It's def a strong program and can easily get residents w/ 250+..but having 240 cutoff sounds lil audacious.

Yeah, I know, ridiculous. They must pretty much already know who they're going to take and consequently don't want to interview a lot people.
