Danny, hang in there! Don't stress it and try not to think about it during finals. I got a couple notices in one day too and was pretty down. We can't give up hope though. If it isn't meant to be this year, then it will be next year or the year after that.

I am on my second cycle. Although last year, I didn't think I was going to get in because I wouldn't have had my bachelors by matriculation. I am graduating in 9 days and if I don't get in this cycle, I will go into a masters program.

It will work out, don't stress it...

I know this thread is not for interview, just I wanted to share my happiness, with you and hopefuly you will hear some good news. I got my interview for San Antonio . I am waiting for same news from you. hang in there buddy and lets keep our hope alive 👍
 
Rejected by UMKC and Baylor. Wasn't granted an interview at either place either. Probably because I turned in my AADSAS on the deadline date for both of them. Infact UMKC said something to the effect that "we cannot consider you for an interview at this time because of the # of applicants and the inconvienent time of recieving your app" sweet people they are! Why give a deadline? They should say that The app period starts on dd/mm/yyyy and ends two months later, you can still send in your application and fee after this date, but we will show no interest in you!
 
UMDNJ and meharry. Not surprised, I added new jersey pretty late, and meharry-not urm.
 
rejection letters & waitlisted status after Dec 1st from schools where I had no interview at all.

Several schools have not updated my application status. I may get interested in some of those schools, though. (It's all I can say before I recieve the actual invitation letters 😉 :shrug::laugh:)
 
Danny, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Told you things would get better! Check your PM's

btw, I love checking my mail...got a rejection from ASDOH today...

Only 7 left to hear from...
 
Rejection from Meharry by letter - apparently no one on the adcom endorses me haha :/ weird wording I dunno!

Too many rejections to keep count...
 
UMDNJ yesterday, reason: not having enough upper level Biology. 😱

how do you know the reason? Did you call? just curious... I just got rejected there, too....

when I applied, i didn't have any upper level sciences but one biochem with decent DAT(20), the letter noted" they want to see student has good performance in science courses" i don't know maybe it is general letter for everybody.
 
I got the boot from UMDNJ, nothing about Upper Level Bios, thats wierd

Are you SDA or religious at all? I got rejected before they even had my letters of rec.

Yes I am Christian and an active member at my church. Initially I thought I did well at the interview but I only felt that way because it was my first one. After doing much better at other interviews I am convinced my interview performance along with my stats just did not make the cut.
 
It seems, schools don't want to give "rejection" in holliday season kind of them 😎.
 
Rejected on Dec 18 by Kentucky via an e-mail that said "I need to advise you that all of the interview dates are filled and regrettably we will no longer be scheduling interviews." At least they were quick as my AADSAS was sent to them on 15 Dec...yeah late application = many more rejections to come.

I think you are punishing by late application. good luck for other schools.
 
It seems rejection train is stopped for a while, it was very fast in Nov and Dec, I wish it never roll over. :xf:
 
west Virginia by mail and nova about 2 months ago .. Creighton wants me to retake dat for a higher pat so i guess that counts as a rejection also 9 more schools to go!!!
 
WVU... the only school that sent a letter ot my house... instead of the address I listed.

weird? can they do that?

It was folded really funny like a 3 year old did it and taped shut with a piece of tape. Looked terribly unprofessional even for a rejection letter.

Too bad I really like WVU and the area.
 
rejected from Alabama yesterday via snail mail
 
University of Colorado via e-mail. The same day they confirmed they received my application I received another e-mail that said "Many fine applicants compete for a limited number of positions. In recognition of these constraints we will no longer be considering you as an active applicant and will not require from you further information or fees."
 
rejected by howard today by snail mail. Said i had too low of either dat or prequisits. I don't know how that could be when their average is 17 on DAT and 3.0 on GPA. oh well
 
oh, oh, rejections started again, and it seems it is moving very fast. :scared:
