Although I haven't received any yet, I'm sure that we're all doomed to get a few. I thought it might be helpful to everyone to start this thread along with the invitation thread... a good way to tell these programs "GFY"

Brown rejection:
talk about insult to injury. I like how the subject was "interview at brown" only to find that the email had no text but an attachment with name "regret". Then found out that they CC'd the name and email address of every person rejected!

Apparently I am not good enough for lake effect snow. Cleveland Clinic just said no. At least I heard something from someone this week.

If I may, I would simply LOVE to add another to my growing list. NO DC for me. GWU said that I was among several (hundred, because this was a mass e-mail) highly qualified applicants who they simply did not have the time to interview. I really think I would have more respect if they just said,"you suck, leave us alone." At least it would provide me a good laugh. Oh, well. I just hope the bleeding stops soon. Oh, yeah. GO VOLS!!! Goal, don't lose by thirty and it is a victory.

It's bad enough that my truck was broken into yesterday while I was in the hospital (what a great class town Memphis is by the way), but MCG sent me through ERAS a rejection (standard form) with the title of interviews. BASTARDS!!

Louisville told me that they have offered interviews to all of the applicants they wish to consider further. Apparently I'm not one of them.

The faculty of the University of Louisville Department of Orthopaedic Surgery
have completed their review of the applications for residency positions for
2005-2006 and have extended invitations to interview to the applicants they
wish to consider further for the residency openings.

Thank you for your interest in our program, and we wish you luck in your
search for an Orthopaedic Surgery Residency position.

That is the most passive rejection I have ever gotten. If I suck say I suck. If I am getting a rejection, at least say it. Anyone know how to make this bleeding stop? This is like seven in a row.
