Can't really go civilian anyway, but figured I'd apply to a few just in case. Got my first "nope, go away, COMLEX-bearer" email the other day.

sorry that really blows

 

[relaxedMD]

THis is one forum list I CAN wait to post on. So far I am in the clear. But I am sure it wont be long as I have not heard from many programs in weeks since applying. I didnt think wayne was so popular. I guess i was wrong. Do four hundred people really want to settle in Detroit proper?!

Good for Wayne, I guess. any idea what it means if they dont respond to you at all and you know they downloaded your app?

good luck getting interviews all!

 

[lane]

don't worry - you can get some nice laughs about this at the end of the year. cincinnati was notorious last year for sending rejections almost immediately to people... and then they didn't fill and had to participate in the scramble 😀

I received the "we only accept USMLE email" as well but wasn't sure what to make of it. I purposely submitted ONLY my USMLE Step 1 and Step 2 results and with-held the COMLEX scores so that programs would be sure to see my USMLE scores. I just figured it was a standard email sent to every DO applicant (but still felt the implied negativity in tone as well as the significant oversight in actually examining my application documents😕).

Did you also receive a formal rejection email in addition to the above?

 

[climbingdocs]

which program sent "the email"?

 

[SaintFrances]

which program sent "the email"?

Sorry... UVA

i did not, but i got the same impression that you got from reading it. perhaps i should not have assumed and just called and asked?

 

[psychbender]

No outright rejection email from them, just the "we only accept USMLE," and I only took the COMLEX, so I count that as a sort of rejection. For your situation...that's a bit weird (then again, this is UVA). You should probably call them and see what's up.

 

[climbingdocs]

Sorry... UVA

hmmm I didn't get anything from them, but it looks like they were downloading my application 3x!!!

I'm sorry dude... But look at the bright side, if you applied to enough programs and are somewhat sociable... You'll match somewhere. I would be shocked if you didn't.

Just curious, what does a rejection email look like? I didn't even know they existed. "We're no longer considering your app"?

I called them up the minute I received the email, but it went to the person's voicemail. I left a lengthy message explaining my situation but have yet to receive a callback. Maybe I should try calling again?

 

[The Wanderer]

Hi friends

 

[climbingdocs]

cylene, that is so true! I am at osteopathic school,I like it I thing we got good training, I wish I went to alopathic school for the reasons you just mentioned. BUT at least if match somewhere I know it was because I am good not because of other reasons 😀

[bigdan]

Just got the world's nicest kick in the junk - I can't even call it a rejection; moreso a decline or soft letdown...here was MUSC's response to my email to update them on my recent Step 2 CK score results:

"Thank you for your interest in our program. Your step 2 score is impressive, however all of our interview dates filled prior to your email. We wish you the best of luck with your search."

So rejection numero uno for the big guy: MUSC
