Man, I spent a month at Harvard, thought I made a good impression, got nothing but positive feedback, and then BAM!!, REJECTION!!
Talk about a kick in the gut...


Yeah, I'm in the same boat. The same boat of complete and utter poopage. Having spent a month breaking my bum at Harvard and getting good feedback, I was pretty sure it would work out, at least in terms of getting an interview, but apparently I was all sorts of wrong... I would like to think I just slipped through the cracks, but I doubt it...

What junk! Sorry about that. How many aways did you and others do? I thought it pretty much guaranteed an interview if you got positive feedback. This whole thing pretty much sucks.

It's definitely not guaranteed at some places. I got rejected from one of the places I rotated at, where I was told (unprompted) by the residents on my team that I was "doing a really good job this month. we'll see you back for your interview".

I think we should make a list of places that don't interview all their rotators. It's too important a month to waste on a place that doesn't value a rotation
