Rejection Thread 2008-2009

It's a mess if you think about it, and I don't really know what is statistically significant out there... However I would imagine that it just feels kinda "rough" to have an extremely strong application and end-up with 1,2 or even 0 interviews... Stats are a third person's view -- when it's YOU, it's always 100%!

I know about someone who applied once, then did 1 yr of preliminary, reapplied, did not get a spot, then went on to do research and applied again, got rejected but was extremely lucky to finally get into one of the 2 unmatched positions -- btw a great program!

Everything is possible, so perhaps we should: 1) Pray and 2) go on with our blubbering, humor and self-sarcasm for right now -- I'll keep updating regarding my many upcoming rejections -- 23 so far + 2 interviews

Hahaha...love it, Iliizarovian!

It's just nice to blubber communally to people who REALLY understand.
