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"

Hey bonehead59,

I feel ur frustration, I too do feel that there is too much emphasis on research. I'm going into Ortho to operate, not to be a lab rat. So what if u have minimal or no research?

The way I look at it is, if u don't want me because of my minimal research experience then ur not the program for me.

Via email on 12/9 denied by Wash. Univ.

Type and cross two units and hit me with some pressors. Emory has now taken their shot. On the other hand...I am glad I got to start some healthy debate. Keep sounding off people.

Did anyone else get on Cleveland Clinic's backup list? I was told that if there are any cancellations they'll call me. Cleveland Clinic, if you're watching this site, I'm sitting by the phone right now and would love to hear from you...

Got the email this AM (12/14)

I got the same email from the Cleveland Clinic. I'm assuming that since it is 6 years and in Cleveland there may be some cancellations.

HSS via snail mail 12/16.

I feel for the vanderbilt people. I rotated at HSS, got 2 LOR's from attendings there, and was still given the boot.

Temple rejected me by snail mail, but it's okay because they put an MD after my name on the address label and started off "Dear Doctor..."
