Yo

Somebody please post when they hear back. I read that if you're rejected or accepted you hear right away, but alternates you hear nothing until the accepted people all respond

Actually I called and was informed that I am an alternate!
Because I'm curious about why I wasn't selected (I wrote a lot about very specific programs and ongoing research at Shirley Ryan I was interested in) - are you an MD student or do you have a lot of research experience?
 
Also rejected! Lot of research experience, good MD school, felt like the PS was very specific to Ability Lab, etc. Don't have any real experience in PM&R though, so I'm guessing that was it.

Nope! I'm a DO student, and I have very minimal research experience. I didn't talk about research in my personal statement. Only talked about "my goals" + past EC's, as well as how I was introduced to PM&R.

Congrats! Early submission is supposed to be a plus and I submitted Jan 3, might have been too late
