Rejections 2004-05

got the boot from university of florida via email 11/24

Dear Applicant,

As you prepare to enjoy the Holidays, let us ruined them for you by wishing u the best of luck at other programs.

Got this email from 5, yes that's 5 programs all within 2 hours times.
These were the kind programs who were nice enough to deliver the bad news just before Thanksgiving:

Univ of Maryland, Medical College of Wisconsin, Univ of Florida, Boston Univ, and Columbia in NYC


And the day ain't over yet, I bet I'll get at 2 more.

I hope everyone else is doing much better than this!

And in an email with the curious subject heading "Happy Thanksgiving, you suck!" Columbia tells me "No chance you're coming to NYC you stupid Midwesterner"

On a more humane note, Boston U tells me, "Be thankful that we didn't outright deny you an interview spot - you may get one if other smarter people decide not to grace us with their presence"

So in summary:
Denied by Columbia
Almost denied by Boston

Happy Thanksgiving, one and all.

got the spurt of emails this afternoon as well.
Columbia and FL don't like me any better.

USC says I'm qualified for an orthopaedic training program...just not theirs. A kind email otherwise.

11/24
