Interview Rejection Thread 2009-2010

This seems likely

I wouldn't fret too much about georgetown.. they typically only give the spots to people who rotated/are from georgetown.. so essentially, you're competing for like 1 or 2 spots if you didn't rotate there or go to gt.. I didn't apply there this year for that reason.

I feel like that is pretty much the case at every program, so I figured I might as well roll the dice!

nah.. most places are 10 to 1 to 6-1 ratio of applicants to positions...at least it seems that way.. Rotators are on common ground usually (as they come back for interviews).. meaning their shot is 10-1 too (yes, they may have a better chance because they rotated there.)

It seems like Georgetown told everyone that... the 3 ppl I know from my school that applied there all got the same letter (including me)

CWRU--10/26
Wake Forest 10/28
Georgetown--11/2/09---same hold list letter

UNC 11/03/2009 handed me my first official rejections just a few minutes ago.
'They are sorry that there are too many competitive applicants and their program is very competitive so they could not offer me an interview.'
Knew it all along though. They did not offer my fiancee, with very high scores and class rank applying to internal med, an interview.
Good luck guys.

UNC Rejection Letter 11/3

Thank you for your interest in the Orthopaedic Surgery residency program at
the University of Chapel Hill. After careful consideration of your
application, we regret to inform you that you were not selected for an
interview. Due to the competitive nature of the program and the large numberof highly qualified applicants, we are unable to invite each individual for apersonal interview.

UNC R 11/3 rough rough start.....

Penn State 10/27 email

for those of us who haven't received rejections from places that have sent em out.. I wonder if that's a good thing.. or neither

UMKC - 11/3 email

If you havnt received a rejection and the school has already sent out interviews.. it either means you are in a different wave of applicants they are about to discuss or they like you and are still deciding if they want to interview you over someone else.

Texas Tech email 11/3

This is my attempt to consolidate those that have been posted so far. I think it would be REALLY helpful if we kept it going like this (similar to the interview forum) and make it much for organized for all of us to follow... plus, don't lie, you're just as anal retentive as me.

I've bolded today's latest disappointments...

Says I am an "alternate to interview" if someone cancels. Unsure if everyone got the same email.

I got NO e-mail. I wonder if that's good or bad??

Ditto. Likely bad.

I sent myself an email from diff account just to verify I was GETTING email. Oh well.
