I applied to 93 programs. I got 2 rejections from Westlake IL (IM) and George washington Uni (IM) 20 days ago. The rest is just SILENCE. Weird unbareble silence. I mean in the absence of interview I prefer rejections. but nothing. All the programs I applied to are sending interviews and rejections around. HEY!!!! what about me? Am I competitive or not? Am I in or out? I want to know that. How is it possible that people get positive and negative emails from st francis, hennepin, UT, baylor, etc. and me NOTHING??? You don't want to send interviews, PLEASE SEND ME REJECTIONS as you're doing with everybody.

well it's either that your name starts with a "z", or that you will probably get an interview call after the first wave of invites. Call up a few programs to express your interest and check the status of your application.

I received this from st joseph IL. the strange thing is I applied to this prog as I did for most progs on september 16th, almost 1 month ago. maybe it is the new politically correct rejection... or maybe they are saying the thruth... "Thank you for your application to the Internal Medicine Residency Program at Saint Joseph Hospital in Chicago, Illinois. We are very fortunate this year to have an extremely large and well qualified applicant pool for our residency programs and receive many, many telephone calls and e-mails daily from applicants that would like to know the status of their application. While we would like to respond to each inquiry, our applicant pool is so large that responding to inquiries about the status of applications is not feasible and, indeed, further slows the application review process. Please note that invitations to interview are extended promptly via e-mail. If you do not receive e-mail from us, a decision to offer you an interview has not yet been reached. Applicants that will not be offered an interview are promptly informed, as well. Again thank you for applying to our program and thank you for your patience as our Selection Committee continues to review applications. Sincerely

Just got a second "on hold" mail from st francis IL. The first one was on september 28th. Seems like I am an "on hold" candidate for most prog. Still better than rejected one. "Dear Candidate: Thank you for your application to the Internal Medicine residency at Saint Francis Hospital of Evanston, Illinois. The Committee has reviewed your application, which although it exceeds our criteria, is currently "on hold". You may be aware that we have had an overwhelming number of applications this year, most of them from well-qualified applicants such as yourself. When there is a change in the status of your application you will be notified by email."
