Rejections
Started by SippiGirl08
Well...I figured that I would post my wall of shame...7 rejections total:
NYU
Hopkins
Emory
MUSC
UNC
Yale
Brigham and Women's
At this point I don't really care so much anymore...I have some awesome interviews and I am having fun on the trail so far! It has been fun meeting some of you guys.

I know right? It makes me feel a lot better about my rejections when I see how many of you awesome candidates are in the same boat.
"The Emory University Integrated Gynecologic and Obstetric residency training program received over 650 applications for nine PGY1 training positions beginning July 1, 2008. Of the applicants who applied, we will be able to accept less than 1.4%."
yeah thanks for the stats...

UPenn, Hopkins and Pitt. Big surprise.
I'm actually more surprised that I didn't get more rejections... I know I applied to a lot of communities, but still. I've got about three programs left that I haven't heard from. I'd just like to get those little boxes filled in on my spreadsheet, you know? Reject me already!

Is anybody else getting the feeling that rejections are all that's going to be coming in the mailbox? Maybe it's just me...
It's not just you 😀 I called some places that hadn't given me an answer yet and I got the feeling that most hadn't rejected me yet. Also I am hesitant to go on a last second interview offer at great expense knowing that I was likely waaaay down their pecking order. Even if they would rank me I would wonder if I would have a shot at actually matching there. There are two or three programs on my list where I would be willing to take that chance but others I would not.

finally got my rejection from UNC. now, i'm just waiting on the one from Northwestern 😉
Some places my be holding out for last minute cancellations. Especially for January interviews I think some people will get burned out and cancel. Also some places never send rejections, you just never hear from them.
I would like to know which prgms do that....never send out rejections. Maybe they are the same places that don't respond to emails or phone calls inquiring about the status of my application.
Not sure which but my friend applied to ophto last year and several places never sent him a rejection email. Might be something more common in other specialties. Several of the places I called about my app said they were not offering any more interviews but they never officially rejected me (I think Mt. Sinai in NY said that if I recall correctly).
Yeah, me too. Though I can say at this point, I probably wouldn't have even went out there 🙂
since northwestern's interview days are slowly passing by, i'm assuming they have rejected me as well 🙁 so i've officially finally gotten a response from all my apps.

wow. that is crazy and sloppy on their part. they could have just waitlisted you from start. i agree with you on this one. i hope the interview trail is treating you well otherwise.
Emory did the same thing to me a couple of days ago. Not going.
Duke rejected me a second time just in case I didn't get the message a month ago or something... 🙄
