Rutgers only 2 LORS? <-- and mayo i think?
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
initially advertised 2 spots, then sent an email that there is only 1. Bc
The same way I feel about DO programs taking my money and then telling me they're only taking DOs. It's a SCAM.
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.
I'm an MD and have to agree with DO's on this one.
What programs are left?
Florida St, Roger Williams, University Hospitals, MetroHealth/Case Western, Puerto Rico, rutgers --- Is CaseWestern for MD Still open???
KCUMB Mesa, Larkin-Hialeah, Beaumonth Health (Trenton), Still OPTI (Kirksville), Riverside (Ohio Health)
rutgers already sent out invites and rejections.
What is University Hospitals?
Case Western
what is the rejection you feel the SALTIEST bout?
pretty much every rejection
idk, i knew i wasnt going to haaavad so when i got the r i moved on. wake forest though, making me look in a fucking attachment to figure out if i was rejected? LMAO SALTY AF about that
<that rutgers "non-acceptance" was pretty annoying
< Home state programs and undergrad school (to be fair my undergrad is a top 5, but I still wanted it haha)
USC
Penn...got an interview from literally every single top 20+ program except for them, and they were my initial top choice.
strong flex
lmao
Rutgers Non-Acceptance x12
<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.
Can't believe they send such a cryptic message and make you log in to view the rejection. So stupid.
Ugh agreed
<- lol they also titled the pdf as a non-acceptance letter
I LOL’ed and didn’t need me to open the letter
As a PSA: Programs in December w/o invites yet: Rutgers, UCLA, U Chicago, , HealthPartners and U Alabama Also: Wayne St, UVA
Jefferson sent out inviites yesterday (aka Sidney Kimmel) <- Thanks for update! Fixing
I WANT A UCLA INTERVIEW SO BAD
< but actually what is going on with these programs. interviews are coming up fast
(updated!) So for December interviews, we're still waiting on Rutgers, Thomas Jefferson, UCLA, Rush, U Chicago, Vanderbilt, UMass, Emory, also HealthPartners and UAB <<AWESOME POST x1
the gray box always brings the anxiety lol << green and red for me x3
lol, why red? If you didn't get a rejection yourself, that's good! << that's the cue for me to check and its typically correct lol x2

this spreadhseet has rutgers as not accepting apps, but they are currently on ERAS?
I think Rutgers NJMS pulled out of match either last year or before, but Rutgers RWJ is still up and running as far as I know. If you are able to confirm then I can change the sheet, thanks!
Rutgers NJMS program was absorbed into RWJ. A
