2012-2013 EM Rejection Thread

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I just have to say how unbelievably RUDE I think it is that a couple programs haven't made any contact. Not a rejection, not a mention of being on a waitlist, not even an acknowledgment that I took the time and money to apply. One program I e-mailed out of sincere interest and I still didn't hear anything. I'm absolutely happy with the interviews I received, but that just doesn't seem very professional or polite to me.
I still have 31 programs that I have yet to hear one word from. Of course by now, that word is "rejected." And that doesn't count the almost 30 Prelim/TY programs that didn't bother to reply to my application. I totally agree that it's just not professional. It really doesn't take that much effort to send out a pre-written email.

I just hate the idea that I probably paid good money to apply to programs that may not have even read my application.
 
Duke rejection. I guess hearing something really late is better than not hearing at all

Well, I can cross two more off my list: Henry Ford and UF-Jacksonville

I 100% agree with you - common courtesy.

"Bostn Medical Center" rejected me today. At least they had the decency to say so which is more than I can say for some other progams
 
St Luke's rejection. Still haven't heard anything from about 10 programs. I'll probably post them here in a month or so.
 
St. Luke's, Indiana U, Henry Ford.. good week ;) I still have about 20 programs I haven't heard from.
 
University of Arizona finally got around to rejecting me today. Pretty standard "lots of applications, many qualified applicants that we were unable to interview."
 
Thank you Arizona for the denial today! But if only these 26 programs had the courtesy to send a denial too.
