Really? Figured since their deadline is today there is still hope. Have anyone you know heard from them?

Well...that's pretty much true for any site, however, thus far my experience is, if you are hearing back on the date of the deadline, 99.99% of the time its a rejection. There's been only once site out of my 33 I applied to where I received an invitation on their deadline. Also, there was another poster here who posted an invitation to Baylor about a couple of weeks back. At first I had thought they may send those out in waves, but then I lost hope. Once I spoke to my friend (who works there in an important capacity), they confirmed that if I hadn't heard back by now from them, it was most likely a rejection.

Baylor has two programs. One combined with Texas Children’s and another with their Menningers program. I thought the post on here was for the TCH/Baylor but I could have easily misread it. Yea it’s been a hit or miss for me so far with deadlines. Well I wasn’t expecting a yes anyways just like the confirmation lol

I'm very well aware of their sites 🙂 And there have been postings for both in the past couple of weeks. To date, only one person posted for the Baylor TIRR site in neuro rehab.

About a week ago I wrote off Baylor. I thought maybe give it a couple of more days once I saw the Baylor/TIRR posting, but then nothing came. So...reality set in. Sure, anything is POSSIBLE....but is it probable? Probably not. I was able to have some closure, then other sites came through. Baylor was 1 of my top 4, thus far, I have my top 3, it would have been great to have Baylor too, but I am happy with my sites.

That’s awesome! I also had Baylor rated high up on my list and I’m grateful and excited for the ones That I have as well. Good luck with your interviews and if you have any you are still waiting on!

Rejection from Mt. Sinai Elmhurst! The rejection was short, sweet, and to the point. Like ripping off a bandaid. On to the next!
 
For me...I've already concluded that at least 5-6 of my 7 sites I am waiting on are rejections. So...to help visualize this, see below:
