I am an applicant for an Internal Medicine residency. I had an Osteopathic interview, the interview went well. The interview was about 6-8 weeks ago. The faculty answered my
thank you letters with the usual statements "Enjoyed having you for the interview." "I know you will be a
success." Standard stuff. I had other nice responses to other inerviews that I obtained.
I sent in my rank list and told the program I ranked them as number one, which I honestly did.
Today
was the day to certifiy the rank lists for the Osteopathic Match. Today I recieved a rejection letter from the program. The letter was very brief, very standard, "lots of applicants, you
are a fine applicant, but had more qualified applicants than expected." This is a new program.
This really hurts. Is this usual to get a letter when the Osteopathic match is getting ready to start?
Why did they sent it at all-I fell like I must have really messed up the interview. It's like saying you didn't even make our rank list-
Thanks for any responses-
