any reason they stated?

  #8

nope. No reason. I have asked for one. But I guess they have to reject 99% of their applicants? Dont they? Imagine if they have to give a reason to each one?

amygdalaa dont worry you will get ur position .

I have a Q . Is pathology is a competitive residency?

what about internal medicine? I am interested in internal medicine .

what suggestuion you would like to give me?

thanks

GL

Hi amygdala...I do agree.Really bad time to send a rejection. Hope every rejection is followed by two interview calls though!!


  #11

Thanks star1 and indiadoc. Hope your words come true.

star- I am gathering that Pathology is getting more and more competetive. I personally am not so keen on IM. Your choice of residency should be made based on your personalty and likings and personal situation. So I guess as you read the posts from everyone you could learn more and more about a specialty and decide what you would like to do. good luck.

  #13

ut south western sent me rejection 2 times[im]

??????????


  #14

They sent it twice to me as well, and I heard the same thing happen to people in another forum. So I guess they just had a glitch in their system. (other than an over-enthusiastic bout of rejection smiling face )

  #15

I've been checking the ADTS and some of the the programs that I have applied to haven't downloaded any of my documents yet. Is this normal? Has it happened other people too? I only hope it doesn't have a bad significance, such as they're not interested at all. But if they haven't downloaded anything then there is no way of knowing anything about the candidate, right?

Best of luck to everyone!

friscan- yes it is happenign to me too. In fact I sent emails to two programs coz they didn't come back after the first day. I think it is ok.

Hi guys. How long have I wait for a rejection or an interview?
I sent my transcrip, MSPE, LoR and photos on Sep 04 and these have not uploaded yet by Postoffice. I donīt known if I have a chance to sent new applications. I will appreciate your advices.

  #19

hey galeno... no news is a good news ... relax... it will be another 2 weeks when programs will decide to make a list for possible interviewees... just hope that u are among them....

also.... some programs dont bother to reply and say no... so i will start getting worried mid October...
