acromium Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Back by popular demand...please post ( hopefully no rejections for anyone) your rejections as your hear back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayne67 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I got rejected by Indiana way back in mid-July. You can probably add UConn to that list as well because I didn't have the time to do their 6 or 7 essay secondary within their 4 week deadline.

Jochi1543 Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 I have not yet been officially rejected by UNC (North Carolina), but 100% sure I will be - word is, OOS cut-offs are 3.6 BCPM and 34 MCAT, I meet neither of the 2 requirements. Meh, whatever. At least it was pre-secondary, so only $30 wasted as opposed to $100+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Rejected pre-secondary from Wake Forest today. Funny, because for the longest time I couldn't decide whether to even submit my primary there since they seemed to reject people without rhyme or reason. Should've trusted my intuition and saved the $30! On the upside, I got secondaries from 2 other schools that reject people quite often, so it's all good.

a41 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 I got the Wake Forest secondary today, and it reminded me of this thread. Jochi got an interview at Case though......so I'm not sure what to make of it. Where's the psyduck emoticon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted October 5, 2007 Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Hmmm, I thought I posted about this already, but I don't see anything...anyway, got rejected post-secondary at Boston and Penn State. So far, I've been the only person on SDN to receive an actual rejection (not a hold). Boston was not much of a surprise given the # of applicants they get, but I was very surprised by Penn State. Nobody knows what Wake Forest wants...don't even try to find a method to madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justletmein Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 rejected at BU also. Penn state seems to have forgotten about me, havent heard anything in almost 8 weeks and they wont give me squat over the phone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 I keep getting holds...got 3 to date. However, these schools have also been actively rejecting people, so getting a hold gives me hope. I'm not worrying unless I don't have any more invites on the day of my Case interview....and if I don't get into Case, and STILL don't have any more interviews, THEN I'll start freaking out slowly.

It's quite impressive that you got an interview at Case considering that it is a highly ranked school (at least according to US News), it's pretty clear that your non-academic factors are VERY strong. I think if you can really nail the interviews, you will get in somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, thanks...I'm anxiously awaiting the Minnesota decisions, since I have ties to the state and a ton of friends there (went to undergrad in MN), but they don't even start looking at secondaries till October 15th. I'd say, based on location alone, it's my top choice. But I've heard Case is really great, everyone who's interviewed there seems to like it, so I'm quite curious. I actually applied there by accident, so it's quite funny that this is the only school to have given me an interview to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acromium Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Rejected at BU and CASE ( no wonders sa my mcat is tremendously low)! Hope you fellow canadians have better luck, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennethToronto Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Rejected at BU and CASE ( no wonders sa my mcat is tremendously low)!

Jochi1543 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 When were you complete and when did you find out? I haven't heard anything from any of the schools that I am complete at. How long have you been complete? It took me about a month to hear from BU and about 3 weeks from Case. Then again, I was complete a bit earlier than you (my impression is that you submitted your primary a month or two after I did), and I think the times may vary depending on the point in the cycle. I think it also varies on how competitive your numbers are. I know Kenneth was complete around the same time as I was at Case and got an interview in 2 days, but for me, it took much longer, presumably since my stats are lower than his.

acromium Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hey, These are my stats: 3.75 GPA, MCAT 8/8/8 R, lots of international experience, over 3000 hours of direct patient care. The mcat was a blow, i didn't expect to do that bad, so i expect a roll of rejections. I was complete in July-Aug in all schools, the only thing absent was the MCAT ( the results came sept 19).

Tan008 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 Rejected from BU, which is not a surprise considering they are rejecting left and right and my MCAT score is crappy. But on the plus side their rejection letter was soooo nice that I actually feel better about the entire process now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acromium Posted October 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I agree Tan008, the BU rejection letter was v nice...it was up-liftinG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochi1543 Posted October 9, 2007 Report Share Posted October 9, 2007 I agree Tan008, the BU rejection letter was v nice...it was up-liftinG! Penn State's is the best. It's printed on really fancy paper and says that this rejection is by no means a reflection of your potential as a physician or medical student. Someone on SDN said that a certain school sent out rejections letters a year or two ago that went along these lines: "Dear applicant, this year we have received 7000 applications for 800 interview slots. You do the math!" Yes, it actually had the "you do the math" phrase in it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
