hi guys, rejection from temple........... :-(
We want to thank you for applying to our General Surgery Residency Program.
It is evident from your application that you have a strong and dedicated
interest in surgery as a career. It is always a difficult task to review
applications and make a final decision. Due to the large number of excellent
applicants, we must limit our interviews. While we think your application is
a good one, I regret that we will be unable to offer you an interview.
Thank you once again for your interest in the General Surgery Residency
Program at Temple University Hospital. We wish you success in your future
surgical career.

Sincerely,
