Hi all,
No I haven't heard anything from Wilmer....I was wondering the same question as well.
I hit a dead space for the past 2 wks with no e-mail. Hopefully it will change soon.
Hope to see you all guys 🙂 🙂😳😛👍

Wilmer invites haven't been sent yet.

They are cutting a little close this year with first interview day coming up in a little more than 2 weeks. Those plane tickets are going to be expensive.

Good luck!

on a side note:

has anyone *NOT* gotten rejected from BU? sheesh, what do these people expect? 265 step 1/2, discovering a new surgical procedure and ophtho research since you were in the womb?

i have a good mind to send them a rejection letter....

"Dear BU

After a careful review of your program's features and opportunities, I am hereby notifying you that our department is unable to continue pursuing you at this time. We thank you for wasting $35 of our department's money through SFMatch, and the time it took me to click on the pdf file to select your program. Best of luck in the match!"

 

[Mye Eye]

[eyeguy99]

I just got an interview from loyola today, and i had my app in on sept 5th and sent to my programs about a week later...

But the secretery said that they aren't close to being filled up yet, meaning that they're sending out interview offers veerrryyy slowlyyyyy.

Nov 1 and 2 are still open... dinner for both sets of interviewees on the night of the 1st for whoever can make it.

 

[DoubleDown82]

If wilmer has not contacted yet, does that mean they will most likely not be offering an interview?

 

[esodeviation]

University of Tennessee (Memphis) - December 10, December 14 (phone call)

 

[Mye Eye]

quiet day on this forum...does that mean no interviews/rejections handed out today? 🙂

 

[vtrain]

Yes - it appears that way. The only thing I got today was an email from Yale confirming receipt of my applic.

 

[Mye Eye]

yeah...didnt u like that email (which i got today)...it had like 150 names on it, and the first thing it says is "THIS IS NOT AN INVITE FOR AN INTERVIEW"

haha, cracked me up

 

[vtrain]

Haha...that was priceless. Also, when I got the same email again a few minutes later, I thought, "Oh man, they rejected me THAT fast?"

 

[Mye Eye]
