[BlackCloud9978]

everyday this process baffles me more......I get an interview at Emory but Utah rejects me???????? this after my personal statement talks about snowboarding in Utah!!!!!!! maybe it's for the best......seems like a very homogenious population in salt lake. on top of that I haven't heard from places I thought I would have---uh Buffalo, Baystate.......this is really odd to me.

 

[realruby2000]

UT Houstont today.

Rejected from NWU 🙁 -- ohwell, it was a 4 year program anyway. I wonder, do they NOT interview people from state schools?

 

[MedDeac]

Adding Brigham and Women's. No news from UNC-CH...

This process totally cracks me up. I am freakin dying for Emory and I got interviews from both Buffalo and Baystate neither of which I covet and have since dropped. What a process! Hopefully Emory drops me some +tive news on Monday!

I also got ixnayed from NW today. They have a serious bias vs some schools mine included. NO ONE from my school has gotten an interview there in like 5 or 6 years. We send over 20 people into EM per yr and the avg board score of those we send in is 228. Who knows! Personally I am over it. Lots of other fine programs in the Chi to choose from!

hey ectopic.....you went to penn for undergrad? still in the philly area for med school? i am beginning to think alot of this is regional. i haven't heard from yale or uconn (congrats on those). i have decent grades and boards. i'm sure nw will eventually get around to rejecting me. oh well, there is always december when people cancel interviews (again suprised by utah....they must have high cut offs....didn't duke get into trouble for doing that one year?)

I did go to Penn undergrad. I am now in Chicago. Good luck getting the interviews you want. I am cancelling as fast as I am getting them to try to give people the opportunity they seek. I am counting on people doing the same for me! I hope everything works out for everyone! Best of luck!

Ectopic.

[Dr.MISHKA D.O.]

I got UT Houston yesterday. Still no love from Florida. Got tired of waiting and sent an E-mail to U of Chicago, and they said they would "like to thank me for my strong interest, but they need to review my app and get back to me." They still haven't looked at my app? My name is near the front of the alphabet? 😕

Anyway started to cancel some interviews in the face of my last bank statement 😛

[EM Junkie]

Anyone know if Vanderbilt has a night out with the residents? I am interviewing there next week and have not heard anything.

From the Vandy invite: "Please note that on Thursday nights, the residents will have dinner with applicants interviewing on both Thursday and Friday. A flyer will be sent with your confirmation letter."

Hope that helps!!

 

[pinbor1]

Cancelled:
UIC (Rotated there - sucks)

Wow that's harsh! sorry to hear you had a bad experience. I personally am happy here, though I will admit that UIH can be a painful site to rotate at given all the red tape. PM me if you get the chance, I'm interested in what makes you feel that our program sucks.

Thanks for the info. I just re-read my invite which did not say anything about a resident night out. I also went through the confirmation packet, and nothing there either. An R1 from Vandy PM'ed me and told me that the dinner is at 6:30 at Mellow Mushroom.

Got love from Carolinas today!!!! 😍

What does waitlisted mean? Does that mean they offered you an interview but are out of spots?

 

[Dr.MISHKA D.O.]

Just a little joke. I have been waiting for Christ without any love as of yet. Wanna Trade? I'll give ya UIC. What ya say?

Best wishes

[emmd2b]

double post...sorry

 

[emmd2b]

Sorry...I'm a little slow

By waitlist, I mean UNC offered me an "alternate position." They usually interview all the waitlisters, but I haven't responded yet. I supposed to email my interview date preferences (so, if one opens up...yada yada...). If a spot opens up when I'm in N.C. for my CMC interview, then I'll take it. Otherwise, it will be too hard to plan for the possibility of an interview

Hey rxfudd, you seem to be one of the few with an interview at UChicago. Did you rotate there? When did you hear from them? What have you heard about the program?

 

[rxfudd]

I didn't rotate there, but I got an invite about two weeks ago or so. Word on the street is that they have an outstanding program with excellent placement after graduation. I know that they see a very broad range of pathology, and the flight EMS program there is a big selling point for them. I can't wait to see what their program is like in person. On paper, it's in my top three right now.

[jaeida8]

Got home from Step 2 CS to find a rejection from Emory. I honestly think they have a Step 1 cutoff (225 or 230, but I bet someone on this board with a 224 will pop up saying that's not true) unless you have something amazing on your application.

Jaeida,

Really, there's no rhyme or reason for the way things happen. I got an Emory invite (no 230 here either 😛 )that I didn't expect to get, and there are other places that I don't view near as highly as Emory that turned me down quickly. There's no explaination really. Just gotta play the hand your dealt I guess.

Best of luck the rest of the way,

dido on what CS said. There are no massive Step scores on my action either and i've got plenty of love from top programs. However its looking like UNC-CH will give me the boot... still haven't heard from those guys 😡

 

[EctopicFetus]

Tell me about it! I got interviews from Yale, UConn, and Buffalo which others want. I got Baystate. Somehow people who got rejected from these places got Emory and I somehow STILL havent. I didnt get a rejection either? I even called them but they didnt tell me much. I am 100% convinced that there is no rhyme or reason as to why they pick some people and not others.

 

[ErGirl]

I'm thinking I am about to get the boot from UNC. 🙁

221 or 222 (I can't even remember my own score--shows how much I care---normally I don't like to announce my score but it's not like it's impressive or anything)......so yeah I don't know. Now I did better on step 2 but I really don't think they look at just scores. I got Emory. I was one of those people that got Duke right away. Got some other places right away too and then it stopped. There are alot of places I've applied to that I have not heard from at all. Short list--Baystate, UMASS, UCONN, Yale, Buffalo (?), Christiana, UVA, pretty much everything in Chicago except Ressurection. And some of these programs I didn't feel were super-duper competitive. I feel like the resident from Christiana....got a pile of interviews in the beginning and then things stopped. Trust me my application is not that impressive either. So whatever. Sorry you didn't get Emory....same thing happened to me with Utah. I was really bumbed about being rejected from them. But in the end I realized I have a decent list with places that I would be happy working in. Hopefully that is the case for you too.

 

[Mary Jane Watson]

Yup, it's very random. I still haven't heard from UNC, Maryland, Wake, FL-Jax, VCU and Georgetown. But I got interviews at Cinci, Indy, Vandy and Carolinas. Go figure. Whatever - I'm happy. 😀 It seems like everyone has a great list and a lot to choose from. I'm looking at this as a chance to meet a lot of people and catch up with old friends, see places I've never been and just enjoy. I wish everyone a great and safe interview season.
