Traditional PGY1, not psych focus
Did you hear anything for Hackensack, St Joseph or Valley? Thanks!
I'm wondering if some of these places are sending invitations as they go through the applications. I haven't heard from either VCU, University of Maryland, or Mission, all of which people here have said that people have heard from. I think most places send rejection emails with the invites so not too sure what's going on. Too much anxiety!!!! 🙁
They probably sent out invites first.if invited candidates accept the interview,then the rest will get a rejection email
Anyone heard from Rush university med center? UPMC ?
I've heard from UPMC Mercy. No reply from Rush yet.

Just heard from Baystate today in MA, just got rejected......did anyone get excepted, because where were saying that their program is extremely competitive and i was wondering what kind of candidate they like to accept?
Hate to break it to you, if VCU didn't invite you, they probably won't. It sucks but their applicant pool has been on the rise since they got residency of the year or something a few years back. They state on their website that they will notify everyone by some date at the end of the month. I remember both they and UMD definitely let you know you've been rejected. It just happens after they've secured all their interview spots.
Interview invites (based on classmates and myself) have been sent for
Temple; Abington; Christiana; Geisinger (Danville)
Rejections
Kaiser Permenante (MD) ; VCU
Can anyone confirm if UMD has sent rejections?

is UMD a really competitive program? i havent gotten a rejection letter (yet) but i didnt get an interview yet so im assuming rejection... i just thought they were one of the lesser competitive of the programs i applied to ....
i havent heard anything from umd (pgy1) and neither have 2 of my friends... maybe rejections come later 🙁
did you get an actual rejection from VCU? if so, when?
so if I haven't received a rejection or invitation yet, you would guess that I'm more than likely not getting an interview? Just checking to make sure I read your post correctly
I did not apply to vcu, but was told by a friend that applied to an amb care focused program that there was a rejection sent
EDIT -- Apparently this person had an incomplete application. Don't lose hope!

They were swarmed with visitors at midyear, offer a bunch of pgy2, affiliated with a school, and in a city. I think it is very competitive, but not quite Hopkins or MUSC level of extreme (from what I've heard)
I have heard in the area of 250 applicants this year.
I mean, I don't want to dash dreams or break spirits. But if you're still waiting you're more than likely getting a rejection..
What I was saying was that the date they tell you on their site is the date of FINAL notifications (ie rejections). They send invites out way before that.
Lol I thought that last year then found out differently. They are up there in the same location as Hopkins and Baltimore VA. Those programs are on their own level of crazy competitiveness. UMD also takes a lot of their own students (and their students do rotations in that area-competitive advantage).. If I remember correctly, the UMD rejections come a long later. I remember feeling like "well no ****" when I received it lol.
yea i was confused bc i got offers from MUSC and UC which i assumed were more competitive oh well...
Anyone heard from USC or VA Long Beach?
Still waiting for USC too...
Just got the rejection email from UC Davis acute care
Sometimes it's difficult to tell what programs are specifically looking for, but you should be proud of yourself for getting MUSC and UC those are crazy competitive.
Adding University of Minnesota to my list
Congrats! The Minneapolis VA sent out invites yesterday, not too sure about other Minnesota programs
I've gotta say that the selection process is so varied. I received interviews at Duke University and Inova Fairfax, but rejections at Wake Forest, Vidant, and University of Virginia. I thought Duke was pretty competitive (and I think it is?), so it's weird to not get interviews at the "lesser known" places. But I suppose it's because of UNC and VCU College of Pharmacy's presence in those areas.
Also, did anyone hear from Boston Medical Center or Duke Regional?
How do you know? Have people started receiving interview offers or rejections?
I got an interview invite from them today
heard back from:
Eskenazi, Community Health, TriStar, UPMC Mercy, and Central State/Sullivan

I believe that it is.
when are you heading to MUSC?? mines friday!
UMichigan gave interviews last Monday ... that might be for those requesting early dates tho
Mine is on 2/13. Good luck!
Yeah, all four of the ones I'm waiting on have already offered interviews and rejected people (except UNC, I don't think they've rejected people yet). I don't have high hopes for any of them.
