Rejections 2004-05

UNC told me where to put it on 11/8. My ex is a tarheel, so I blame her, naturally.

J, don't sweat the letters. Remember, in the immortal words of Mason Betha, "Women [or residency programs] are like the bus. There's another one every 10 minutes."

UNC 11/8. Henry Ford officially rejected me after I was again not quick enough on the draw to reply to an email. That sucks. Two down 42 to go.

University of North Carolina @ Chapel Hill on Nov. 8th

Summa rejection on a saturday.

I'd wish they'd send rejections to a different e-mail address so I don't get a bunch of SPAM like this.

Rejected by U of AZ via email

Initially got the rejection email from OSU on 11/3/04. OSU had not yet even downloaded my dean's letter before sending this email. I noticed on ADTS that OSU downloaded my entire application today, 11/6/04.

WHAT A LOAD OF HORSE MANURE

Ditto on the Arizona rejection, I think that have a thing for rotators based on past results (as do many programs). Comment about SUMMA, Saturdays only if you are on call.

OrthoPhish what is the reference for your name.

Good luck all.

I'm so looking forward to 47 other rejections.

11/5 - Univ of Arizona...You're excellent...yada, yada, yada but no thanks.
And yes...there must still be several of us that have heard back very little and are AOA, good boards, etc etc.

Univ of Arizona via email 11/5 as well

"While your record is excellent, I am not able to offer..."

regrets from univ of arizona via email 11/5.


anyone else still in the same boat with minimal interviews despite being AOA, top of class, good boards, etc...

Rejection like the others for Ohio St..... damn.. I had impressive credientials... GO BLUE

Indiana University by snail mail on 11/4

"While we thank you for your interest in our program, you are not being considered for an interview."

Like a lot of other people on this thread I got rejected from Ohio State Univ.

Also, be sure to read the whole thing (rejection letter) as i almost deleted an email invite that started off sounding like a rejection. Basically they said "Thanks for applying to the XXXXX ortho surg residency program. Each year we get far more applications from outstanding students than we can interview. This means that many qualified students are not offered an interview, however , our selection committee has chosen to offer you a interview spot on Dec XX"

I was about one second away from deleting the email, since it sounded like the other rejections i had gotten at that point.

Read the whole thing!

True, OrthoDoc. A few programs I applied to have given interview notifications and I have not heard from them. It is difficult to decide whether this means that more interview waves are to come or if they are giving the silent rejection?
PROGRAMS, PLEASE BE FRANK!

I couldnt agree more with Orthodoc. I would rather hear it straight up rather than be dragged along.

I wish more programs would just be honest and forthcoming. I respect OSU for letting us know early. I just hope that I dont get too many forthcoming programs telling me to beat it...

At least OSU will let you know if you are rejected unlike many programs out there that don't even give you the courtesy rejection letter.
