"...not your academic qualifications."

Would they ever tell you anyways?

Dear. AStudent,

Thanks for paying our admissions committee $140 to look over your application for 3 minutes on a sunny Friday afternoon. I was in a hurry to get home to my wife so we could hit up the pool and BBQ so I really didn't read your personal statement all that much, frankly, I just skimmed the whole think looking for big words. Having found none, I thus conclude you have poor academic qualifications and would not fit in well with our school's image. Your file has been thrown in the dumpster out back -er, closed.....please feel free to apply next year because I'm saving up for that trip to Vegas.

Sincerely,
Out of State Medical School

Hasn't the shore been washed into the ocean? Has the 17+" of rain drained off yet?

Would you really rather have them tell you they didn't feel your qualifications were good?

 

[PBMaxx]

I knew it!!!

All the rest of you are to blame for my rejections!!!

It's not my fault! It's not my fault!!

 

[AStudent]

Franky, yes. I would much rather hear "we don't think your GPA is high enough."

Lighten up 😀

Speaking of which, how much higher are the application numbers this year (couldn't find it from AMCAS if the numbers are even out yet)? Someone from Duke said the admissions office was swimming in applications.

Amen. Do you look at the score when you hear your team lost? Of course you do. The first question is, well was it close? I want to hear that my PS is not credible or that I'm too uptight for the mood they are going for in M1 class. Whatever. There are good reasons why they don't do this but hell, when I turn in a test I want to know how I did, even if I feel sure I tanked.

Otherwise just print a big fat "NO." at the top of the page so I can get on with the rest of my mail.

Hopefully not skinny dipping...

Hopefully not skinny dipping...

but at least then they might get an appropriate papercut.

I am writing a letter to all the schools that rejected me asking why I am being punished for the sins of the rest of the applicant pool.

Translation:

"You probably have what it takes to be a doctor (we really didn't pay that much attention to your application file) but we're damn sure it's not gonna be a XXU SOM doctor. It's not you, it's us-- we're just not in the right place in our lives for a relationship. We can still be friends..."


Oh wait,


I'm reading the wrong letter....

Please do this. It would make my day. Seriously.
