Just want to get an idea of schools that have sent out pre-interview rejections. If someone wants to throw in some schools that are notorious for silent rejections please add those too!

Pre-interview rejections:

Boston University
George Washington
Northwestern
Pittsburgh
Rochester


Notoriously silent rejectors:

????
 
I'm not saying that these schools have given out all their pre-interview rejections but so far I have been rejected from:
USF
UNC
Wake Forest
Georgetown
Tulane
Brown
USC

I know Emory does not reject until the end of the application season, and I havent heard anything from UA either (but I'm OOS soo that wasnt unexpected)
 
I'm starting to get this strange feeling that Columbia might not interview me...

Pre-interview rejections
Boston University
Brown
Cornell
George Washington
Georgetown
Northwestern
Pittsburgh
Rochester
Tulane
UNC
USC
USF
Wake Forest

so Drexel hasn't rejected anyone pre-interview yet?
Mount Sinai is slowly sending out rejections. I know it's coming Mount Sinai! Just let the rejection train hit me already... I'm tired of waiting.
 
How exactly are you defining 'silent rejector'? Aren't all schools going to tell you you're either in or not at some point - even if it's in May?

Anecdotal evidence, but I have friends who applied in previous cycles and there were a few schools they never heard back from, not even getting a rejection.
 
Bumping for my fellow paranoid folk. This seems far more useful and up-to-date than the list of silent rejection threads. (Eg. Silent rejection threads list Jefferson, which sure isn't silent anymore.)
