Rejections 2004-05

UTAH said C-Ya via email 11/23

bounced from Kentucky and Greenville

Decided to bite my lip and make some calls today:

UMich -- all our offers are out. please try again next year.
Jefferson -- all our offers are out, but in the odd chance that a significant number of applicants get the plague, we reserve the right to call you later
Campbell Clinic -- very nicely explained that my credentials were almost up to their standards, but wishes me the best of luck ... elsewhere.

Stay tuned, as next week's calls include ...

And another one bites the dust

greenville

Duke thinks that I will do really well wherever I match..... as long as it is not at their program

Duke and CMC were kind enough to give me the thumbs down today. To which I wrote them back the following:

Dear Chairman and Program Director,

Thank you for your kind letter. After careful consideration, I regret to inform you that I am unable to accept your refusal to offer me an interview at your program.

I have been particularly fortunate in receiving an unusually large number of rejections from many prestigious institutions. With such a varied and promising field of programs, it is impossible for me to accept all refusals. Despite your program's oustanding qualifications and previous experience in rejecting applicants, I find that your rejection does not meet my needs at this time. Therefore, I will be visiting your program to interview during the next scheduled interview date.

I look forward to seeing you then.

Sincerely,
Arthrodesis
