Einstein (philly)
to hell with a cold one, i'm going to drink drano

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 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.
