So I received my 2nd rejection today and I thought I would start this off.

Arrowhead Regional Medical Center-Rejected 10/8
Lehigh Valley-Rejected 10/10


Funny thing was I wasn't even going to apply DO, just ACGME. but added some DO places a couple weeks ago as backup.

It's really incredible who you get interviews and rejections from... and by incredible I mean random. On the same day last week I received an interview invite from a top tier EM program (in the top 5 on that doximity thingy) where I had no ties AND a rejection from a solidly middle tier program in a region I had multiple ties.

This process is ridiculous and arbitrary

According to what I've read, Northwestern filled their interview spots long ago. A rejection seems like a formality at this point.

Called 3 schools today that I thought were not reaches for me and got rejected by all 3 over the phone :) lol. Needless to say that that was a pretty low moment for me, but the season isn't over yet to be disappointed even further ;) + Albany, Baystate, NYU
 
Add Nebraska to that list. I'm not calling a single program from here on out... I learned my lesson lol
 
Northwestern waitlist yesterday. I'm definitely excited about it, but considering it rejection right now.
