"Dear steelersfan1243:
After careful review and consideration of your application to the NYU Post-Baccalaureate Linkage Program, the Committee on Admissions regrets to inform you that they are unable to offer you an acceptance at this time. If you would like to apply for August, 2016, you must reapply through AMCAS. Most of the information will roll over, however, you must verify and update the information that was previously submitted.Rest assured that your application will then be fully re-considered with those applying for the next application cycle. Please let me take this opportunity to wish you success and to thank you for your continued interest in NYU School of Medicine.
Sincerely,
Joanne McGrath"
****, did I apply to the wrong program?

Lmao... I'm sorry about the rejection (I am sure one is headed my way as well) but that is just hilarious. So tactful. When were you complete? Is that "Rejection" in lieu of the "Application Complete" checkmark or is it a separate row/page?

@breezy16 what's interesting is that I see we both interviewed at Hopkins (I will hear back later). So it seems different places are looking for different traits and "fit"
Rejected. Ah well
also axed just now (pre-II). No surprise there. It appears you might have applied to the wrong program...But they say to reapply through AMCAS, so I don't know? Mine read like this:
Dear ImmunoLove,
After careful review and consideration of your application, the Committee on Admissions regrets to inform you that it is unable to offer you a place in the medical school class entering in August 2016.
We are humbled and most thankful to have received so many applications from talented students like you. This year, we received over 7,400 applications for the 132 places available in the entering class. With more well qualified candidates than we could admit or even interview, the Committee on Admissions faced an incredibly difficult task this year.
We wanted to thank you again for your interest in New York University School of Medicine, and we wish you success in your path to becoming a physician.
Sincerely,
Rafael Rivera, M.D.
Associate Dean for Admissions & Financial Aid
New York University School of Medicine
Axed as well. Good luck everyone!
Axed 🙁

Rejected. Kind of surprised but I agree with the above. I don't think I would have fit in there.
Looks like it. Slaughterhouse today. I guess that's it, at least it's over.

Rejected, and totally fine with it. My application wasn't complete for almost a month after I submitted it because they weren't marking my letters as received (when every other school had), and then they spammed me the whole application cycle with emails that were mostly relevant for accepted students. Bye NYU!
Shhhh! Dont jinx it. (me neither. complete 8/28)

rejected pre-II 12/16, complete 10/8
Didn't they know you're a master of karate and friendship for everyone? Maybe Nightman is an adcom there

Thanks! It did seem oddly early to end interviewing in December, when most other schools are interviewing until February.
Rejected. OOS, Lizzy M ~71. Complete early September. Best of luck to those still being considered!
Rejected too. Complete end of July. Oh well. Best of luck guys!
I agree. It's the biggest thing I'll tell my future family & friends if they apply is to apply to schools based on those fits rather than numbers. It's been waaay more about my fit than numbers this whole season.
Good luck to you @ JHU, Hope to see you as a classmate next year 🙂
Rejected. C end of August. LizzyM 76-78.
What "fit" do you think NYU looks for?
Hopping on the rejection train. Disappointed, but it's okay.
Thank you, hopefully one of us will be the lucky duckling that gets the spot.
Hopefully this is the last few weeks of waiting for a lot of us!
How should we send update letters? Snail mail or portal?

I'm wondering the same thing!

Via carrier pigeon

Okay but what breed of pigeon?? French Cumulet? English Carrier? Racing Homer???
Or should I send in like a Game of Thrones raven? Do med schools take maester training into consideration? Is that worth mentioning? Or do they only care if it's from a top tier Citadel?
But on the real, snail mail or portal?
