how do people feel about the rutgers situation? Essentially interviewed 40 people for one spot, told us during the presentation theyre taking 2 only to email us after the 2nd day of interviews to say due to unforseen circumstances they're only taking 1

#2252Mar 23

what is the situation? x3

Mar 23

initially advertised 2 spots, then sent an email that there is only 1. Bc

Mar 23

The same way I feel about DO programs taking my money and then telling me they're only taking DOs. It's a SCAM.

Mar 23

x10< Please, so many ACGME programs gladly took my money and didn't court me either. I could have saved thousands had I known they had no interest in DOs from the beginning. > Seriously! DOs could have saved over $3K each, had we known our apps wouldn't even be looked at.

Mar 23

I'm an MD and have to agree with DO's on this one.

Rutgers Non-Acceptance x12

#2101Mar 23

<Got my hopes up with the ERAS attachment <programs that do this with rejections are literally the worst. so annoying x20002 I think they just won the Darwin Awards for rejection letters << no, that was Wake Forest. Cryptic message and you had to open the attachment to see you were rejected.

Mar 23

Can't believe they send such a cryptic message and make you log in to view the rejection. So stupid.

Mar 23

Ugh agreed

Mar 23
