I remembered back in college when I had friends applying to med school, that some never heard back from their med schools, even after they interviewed there....so they kept on hoping and hoping that a school will accept them all the way through June. That seems a bit rude to me, to not even send out a rejection letter. However, I wonder how prevelant this is. One of my friend, with whom I observed this phenomenon closely applied to all California schools plus some top tiered med schools, all of which were inundated with applications. So I wonder if this is common with schools that get an especially high number of qualified applicants.
I'm an August MCATer, and I only got my application in and completed near the end of October, but thus far, out of the 20+ secondaries I filled out, I received 4 pre-interview rejections!
I can only hope that this means the rest of the my schools still believe I'm 'in the running', however I am starting to believe that these are the schools I've gotten rejected from are the ones considerate enough to send me a letter....I'm thinking four rejections within a month of completion of my application to mean I'm getting rejected from other schools too but that they haven't told me. Do med schools ignore people like that? Also, should I be scared of my unusually high number of rejections within the last month (my application has been completed for only a little over a month!)?
