I didnt interview at Program X (declined invitation), so I didnt rank them, but I got an email today that said "we need to receive your USMLE scores at this time" and it was made out specifically to me. Is that weird?

That's hilarious! I'd ignore it.

i dont trust anything about this whole 'match' process.

"Please disregard the recent email sent to you regarding your USMLE scores. We
do not need your scores. This email was sent in error. Again, please do not
send, email, fax or call your scores to us. This memo was sent in error."

They maybe sent this to everyone and didnt want to be inundated with 30000 faxes 😉

Idio, that is funny. I got the following email:

Dear Danger Man,

In case you were wondering, we still do not want to interview you.

With love,
UCSF,Stanford, Uof MN, UofIA, etc.....

My friend just checked his email in computer lab and got same email. He thought it was probably a communication with someone who was scrambling for a spot at that Chicago institution.

Got the same email and ensuing "Sorry, this was sent in error" e-mails as well. Mine wasn't made out to me specifically though.

Didn't apply for Anesthesiology, but I got an out of the blue call from a place I must have had on the ERAS but didn't interview at. Isn't this some sort of match violation if I already matched??? Really odd. I think it's the first time I heard from the place since I submitted ERAS.

They probably figured you were scrambling. I think thats what happened with Rush, they just got their internal wires crossed.

By my last count, i have received four emails from Rush today! This is getting really funny!

I think Venty needs to drop in on the program coordinators office to see if she's ok

Yeah, because if didn't interview for their program I must not have gotten in elsewhere.

i know EXACTLY which program you are talking about. I think it's good that we're not mentioning the name of the program. But it is interesting how I received about 4 or 5 emails from them within the span of a few hours.

interesting.....

 

[toughlife]

ditto. I received the same email and it even had a name attached to it. weird.

 

[Trisomy13]

i got that email and i didn't even get an interview offer there.


i'm faxing my SAT and OAT scores (yeah like 8 years ago i considered optometry - long story), and i might photocopy a body part and fax that too.

it can't hurt.



well. maybe the photocopying can hurt.

No I just think that they mixed up who applied with who was scrambling. Probably everyone who applied to Rush got one of these (or 4, seeing as how the day went)

i'm pretty sure that's what happened. everyone who APPLIED there got this email but it was meant for whoever tried to SCRAMBLE into one of their 2 spots. just sent it to the wrong "[email protected]" address that's all.
