Rejection City 2003-2004

What a day... got the ax from... UF - Jacksonville, Emory, Ohio State, Columbia, and Tulane... OUCH!

kicked by Greenville, SC also. I hear you orthohawk.

i hear yall, two more also got the ax from tulane and arizona today...making it 4 today.

Howdy, just to join the chat here on rejection: I'm chilling at a top 10 school, and the 10/14 who are applying orth and weren't AOA aren't hearing anything either. I freaked out today and called all my programs to see when they sent things out......and pretty much if a school has ANY december interview dates, they have sent things out already.

So question and advice:
Question: have y'all been getting notified of rejection or calling to find out?
Advice: I'd recommend calling the programs you haven't heard from to ask when interview invites go out: called today and my call got me on the 'waitlist' at a state program and actually INVITED to interview at another school I had been dinged from.

But bottom line, helpless waiting is harsh. GOOD LUCK!

I've got 1 invite and 3 "regrets" so far (by email)... wonder if a phone call would work as well for me as it did for J-roid?

Curious to know if the date of application submission has any bearing? Does submitting early make a difference versus submitting later (but before the deadline)?

big e,

i would call and before saying your name, ask them if it is ok to know the status of your application, if they seem reluctant don't pursue it but if they say sure...

I agree with J-roid in that calling can make a difference, admissions people probably have 100's of similar applications in front of them and anything can tip them one way or the other, in my opinion.
