I'm currently one week into a sub-I away rotation at a program that rejected me on the first day at 9am during orientation. One month prior, I emailed the PD and PC with a LOI and reminder that I'll be there soon and that I'm looking forward to it. I never got a response from either of them. Instead, I got an automated noreply email from ERAS telling me that I was rejected. I have no idea what to do. I've considered talking to the PD about it, but I'm not sure what good that would do. Even if they offered an interview, at this point, it would be out of courtesy and a waste of everyone's time. I think I'm more upset about the thousands of dollars I spent to relocate for a month across the country when they could have told me ahead of time and spared me from moving here and wasting time and money.
I think it's one thing for a program to reject you closer to the end of your sub-I when someone has had time to evaluate you, but to reject you during orientation on day 1 is a different story. I understand that not all sub-Is are guaranteed interviews, but if they haven't even let me prove myself, why chose me for a sub-I in the first place? Make it make sense to me! Is this considered mistreatment? Any suggestions?
