Do you guys know when you can call schools asking why you have been rejected? Are most schools receptive to this or will it be indicated in their rejection email? Thanks!

I believe it depends on the school. Some have told me in the e-mail that they do not give feedback ("but be assured you were given careful consideration!") and some have indicated that you can set up an appointment with someone in the office to go over it.

So, generally I've seen it (at least somewhat) addressed in the rejection e-mails.

[spiker268]

[lall]

Well. I'll revive the thread. UC Davis mass rejection member last week.

 

[medschoolmyname]

[whatever5]

Rejections to date: Albany MC, BU, Cooper, Georgetown, MCW, NYU, IUSM, SLU, Tulane, UIC, Carver, CCOM, and KCOM.

Grand total of 14! It's weird though, with every rejection I care less and less. I'm just hoping one of the two schools that interviewed me has a seat for me.

+1

I know that feel

 

[tink789]

I am devastated and just don't even know what to do....silently rejectedd from FSU, Missouri, UNT, CSU. Rejected from VCU, UNC, Iowa. Waitlisted at Tennessee, trying to stay hopeful...and still have not heard from Boston University Clinical or Counseling programs...trying to stay positive

 

[ryanc6060]

Anyone have any news on UC riverside and UCLA, Drexel, Jefferson, and Tufts. (CA resident, NonURM, secondaries complete way back in october)... Been on a couple interviews so far, not the greatest of stats (3.4 UC berkeley, will tell my kids to go to an easy undergrad if they want to do medicine!)

This thread is depressing

guys you can always study medicine abroad.. getting in is much more straightforward and many years can be saved. Check out www.medic-link.org.uk for more information

I would surmise that a majority of the posters here are North American and are looking to practice in North America in the future. Studying medicine abroad would be far from ideal for them because it's an uphill battle for FMGs to get residency placements and to practice here.

 

[Drbone03]

Abroad is always an option. Just make sure the school matches residents to the US. If you can get into a canadian medical school you are good to go. Same goes with Ireland, England, and Australia.
