Rejection City 2003-2004

Got a quick question for the rejection files: conventional wisedom says that residencies consider you more strongly if you have a REASON to live/move there. HOwever, I am finding exactly the opposite (ie, went to school in VT, axed by UVM........grew up 5 minutes from Yale, and axed). Is this a theme?

BTW, word on the street, at least from our program director, is that this will be a landmark year for Ortho competitiveness, so its not that rejections will likely be even more plentiful than in years past (compensation and lifestyle).

Save the US medical system: vote Republican.

added einstein in philly and uconn to the list yesterday....shut out of uvm with the other 300 people who got shot down...gots to thank uvm for letting us rejects see all the other rejects.........classy way to do business in the mountains..........

Got the no-go from
UConn
G-town

Bodyslammed by Albert Einstein in Philly. Looks like I'll be having another cold one tonight...

axed by duke too

Got the ax from Duke ,Alb Einstein Philly, Uconn!

I don't know if the last post was a knock on Mississippi, but their program is pretty legit. I have heard nothing but great things about it.

My rejection list is becoming long and distinguished:

UNC
UK
Arizona
Georgetown
Jacksonville
UF
Rochester

and the worst:
Greenville SC
South Alabama
Mississippi


Does anyone have any idea what's going on with places who have sent out interviews and rejections that others haven't heard from? Are we on some weird cancellation list?

Also, has anyone heard from anywhere out west? or are only places in the south and midwest sending things out yet?

rejected from hopkins, univ mississippi...

called henry ford to confirm my interview only to be told that
I had been offered a spot; but they were full...what?

so i had another great day...

i don't see a whole lot of light at the end of the tunnel...

can we say prelim year?

Yesterday was brutal. Chalk me up for 'regrets' from AZ. Did anyone get anything besides 'regrets' from U of AZ? Doesn't look like it from the board. I'll say one thing about rejections...they sure make you appreciate your invites. Continued best luck to all.

OF

I can now add Univ of Mississippi to the list of Reject Programs.

Univ. of Vermont by email. However, they put forth the effort to non-blinded cc: every person they rejected. Very nice; now we can all see exactly who got rejected along with us.

Dropkicked by Hopkins today. Add that one to a steadily growing list...

rejected by hopkins

The blackness continues...

Rejected by Hopkins this morning by email

Forgot to add total rejections. KUMC, Wake, Arizona, Greenville, and Tulane. I'm expecting more since others are getting offers at schools that i haven't heard from. "Oh, the humanity!"

yesterday was a bad day. Rejections from Arizona, Greenville, and Tulane. Did get offer from Nebraska, so I guess all is not lost.

put me on the Tulane, UK, Greenville, and hell just screw me I have had better days with my head in the toilet


more that I do not have to worry about.
