I am wondering if programs usually send rejections or if they just keep you wondering until the season is over.

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...

UNC Rejection - historic application season?

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.

Waitlisted maybe?

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

several emails have been saying that. here's to hoping that it's just their polite way of rejecting and not based on fact.
