Rejections
I am wondering if programs usually send rejections or if they just keep you wondering until the season is over.
Can people who receive official rejection emails please post the programs in this thread!

10/03/2011 - Indiana University Rejection

Rejection via ERAS today. "More applications for our three urology positions than any other year since accepting applications through ERAS."
Yeah I read the same thing, that's pretty nuts. I am sure each program (and not just UNC) is seeing a record number of applications. I wonder if this across all surgical specialties or just Urology.
In my medical school (private, top20), class size ~100, in prior years there was usually one or at most two students applying into Urology. This year we have 4! And from talking to other students on aways, the bigger state medical schools have a ridiculous amount of students applying in Urology as well. I don't know how, but suddenly Urology has become the new "it" specialty.
Anybody else have similar experiences? Regardless, good luck during this competitive season.
Indiana and UNC this AM, UTSW last week.
Pretty sure I'm going to get sick..... Is it time to activate plan B?

Did you get a rejection? Or an email that says "We feel you are highly qualified, and will advise if a spot opens up for an interview."
Not sure if a waitlist really exists...

I got a "we'll let you know if we have interview spots" email. Don't know if that I'd the same as a rejection

Rejection via ERAS today. They said, "This year we had an unusually large number of highly competitive applications." FML
several emails have been saying that. here's to hoping that it's just their polite way of rejecting and not based on fact.
Denied

This is getting real fun. Can't keep up with rejections anymore...
Rejected by OSU just now, via ERAS.
Lahey and OSU for me too. I had a steady trickle of interviews at first, but the rejections are starting to pick up. Great...

Womp womp. Same "we got a lot of competitive applicants this year" spiel.
If getting rejections were a contest. I'd be winning.... UChicago.

Happy rejection day everyone! :P
Happy rejection day everyone! :P
This is like rejection week....starting on Friday!!
University of Wisconsin Medical College of Wisconsin Ohio State



I hope they all do. I've heard for some programs, especially the ones with more than one waive of interview offers, no rejection equals waitlist. But keeping applicants in the limbo is just terrible...
