Medical OOS Rejection

[MusicDOc124]

This morning, I received a rejection from an OOS school that my girlfriend will be attending this fall. I am a 521/3.96 applicant, so my stats shouldn't have kept me out. I really wanted to go there, and my secondaries demonstrated that. I also got a letter of rec from an alumna and wrote about how much I respected that alumna as an exemplary physician in my secondary. I also toured the school before I wrote the secondary so that I could write about the campus and the way that I felt when I was there. I thought that I did everything on my secondary to demonstrate that I really wanted to go there, but it seems to me that they didn't even read my secondary because I am an out of state applicant. They heavily accept in state over out of state.
Is there any way that they would ever take back a rejection? If I email their admissions office with a letter of intent of going there, would they ever reconsider? Thank you.

Also, could that physician who wrote me a letter of rec do anything? Or my girlfriend who will be a student there in August?

Unlikely as they already made their decision. There is nothing that that physician, your girlfriend, or a LOI can do. You even said yourself that that heavily take in-state, which may have been been a factor.

Did you interview, or was this after the secondary?

Sorry to hear this, but nope and nope. Why would they accept a nonbinding contract from a desperate candidate?

Alas, no and no. Long distance relationship can work out. That's what I did with Mrs Dr Goro.

If they rejected you, nope nothing can be done. Move on. Try to get in and arrange for clerkship rotations in common later on.

If you had put a ring on it and worked with admissions earlier, hypothetically I would have tried to help, but our hands are tied if you get rejected.

I know of rare reports that a Rejection decision was rescinded after an applicant appealed for reconsideration. At this point, you have nothing to lose by trying, though having an alumna call who is not personally known by voice to a dean is not going to help your case. NB: If you write a Letter of Intent, you can kiss goodbye any chance of a scholarship offer.

It might help to get engaged. Is that in the works?
