actually it was 2 min between the two emails but it felt so long...ugh
funniest rejection ever..lol
We all have spent time and money applying to programs, but I think we should honestly stop looking for individualized reasons for each rejection. Each program would have to spend the entire recruitment season replying to each rejected applicant. All the unnecessary phone calls and emails are why invited applicants have to wait and wonder why their confirmations are not answered in a timely fashion. The PCs have other duties besides recruiting; they also have to take care of all the current residents, among other duties. Please dust yourself up and move on.

Rejection from Jackson Memorial ,Miami
@PiggyFace
Well my overall CV is pretty blah lol, just the average Carrib path of BS + Clinicals, as for my LOR's, i've had them waived so I don't know what's written, but I felt my preceptors would 'recommend' me overall. I'm not sure if programs care about our Clinical grades or not? Those are on average.
Lets see what happens! Good luck with you.. I have friends in IM / Gen Surg at Henry Ford and they say although its detroit, its a good program, not too sure about FM though.
