Rejections 2005

Healthcare jobs with pay you can see.
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
none yet for me
good luck on people posting to this thread...it just hurts too much 🙁
 
It's a good idea. I have rejections from Cornell, Wayne State and Cleveland Clinic.
But I'm an old IMG, so it's not very significant for most of you, guys.
 
1. Cleveland Clinic
2. John Hopkins
3. UNC
4. Baystate
5. Baylor
6. Virginia Mason
7. Utah
8. Vandy
 
Cornell (for the second time) today 10/27...like it didn't hurt enough the first time!!
 
Medical College of Georgia

(none others yet)

Maybe instead of making a new post, people who posted here can simply go back and edit their original post. This way we won't end-up with like 400+ responses like on the other "invite" thread.
 
First one came via e-mail this morning. From Baylor.
 
jocwyo and hoyden, baylor is one of the programs I am interested in going to next year. If you dont mind, what kind of stats do you have. Thanks for the help. Congrats on your other interviews.
 
university of Utah.
 
Well, I am an IMG, first of all. An old one 🙂 With lots af experience in anesthesiology/critical care and pediatric anesthesiology/pediatric critical care in home country. Average scores. Some research experience in home country.
So my creds in any dimension are not significant for you, since you are an AMG.

Utah today....that sucks. I'll have to pack my bags and ski somewhere else 🙁
 
jocwyo-

I am upset after reading your post! I have a 219 Step 1, am in upper half of class, did research. Not taken step 2 yet. You seemed to be a good applicant, why were you rejected? Are you an american grad? What would you have done differently?
 
1st rejection via snail mail today (11/1) Wake Forrest..........bastards!

-B
 
The flood gates are open....Vandy today via snail mail.
 
Wakeforest via snail mail today. No hard feelings though as I have no connection to that program or the Southern U.S. as a whole. Still sucks to get rejected though.
 
Maybe its your Avatar Zeffer, no one wants Darth Sidious as a resident! 😉
 
1st rejection.... but for transition year at Mayo Scottsdale. They can GFT. Wasn't that interested anyways.
 
Same as above, rejected from Mayo TY in Scottsdale. I'm not surprised, they told me earlier this year that they have never taken a DO before.

Oh well, still hoping for more,

Lefty

I am from a DO school (AZCOM) - maybe that made a difference - although they have taken DO's in the past. I'm not sure why - the stars weren't aligned this time.

My letters of recommendation weren't swell (though none were negative) - all were from visiting anesthesiology electives.

I'm not sure what I would have done differently - perhaps rotated through Baylor as an elective.

Good luck - hope that your attempt is more successful.
 
mgh today... guess i was expecting that 👎

Deans letter released... 4 to 1 in favor of rejections
 
got my first anesthesia boot today from UCSD... regrettably; according to them.
 
Well.....the most amazing thing occured today. I received an interview at Colorado after being rejected.....also verified that it was not a mistake. Very weird....but made it my day!! 😀 😀
 
FYI, U of Florida Gainesville, according to my source, had as of beginning of Nov, about 10 slots left for interview invites with 200+ applications to be reviewed, they gave out most of interviews early on, so THE EARLY BIRDS got the worm.
 
Columbia as well................bastards!

1. Cornell
2. Virginia Mason
3. Mass Gen
4. Wake Forrest

Did anyone notice that most of the programs rejecting people had to scramble to fill last year?

Really?! How interesting...
Can you, please, name them all?
I'm not being sarcastic, I have genuine interest.
 
columbia
stanford
baylor


$#@$ em all !!!
 
some "notable" places that did not fill after the match last year
(per the homepage for scutwork.com).....


Rush
Wake Forest
SLU
Cornell
NYU-don't know much about this program
Vanderbilt
Washington
Penn State (Hershey)

By the way, there are many reasons why programs don't fill and sometimes they will choose to keep those positions empty as opposed to filling them with candidates that they deem less than deserving. It doesn't happen often, but it does happen.
 
MY first 2 yesterday via e-mail...at the same time...ouch. That doesn't feel very good 🙁
Colorado
Florida (Gainesville)

Well, at least I know, I still gave 7 programs I havne't even heard from....
anyone hear from UT Southwestern? Tulane?
 
Some of the programs that scrambled last year

NYU
Cornell
Wake Forest
Vaderbilt
