Not much action

[premedk]

I haven't had any new interviews since MSPE release(other than my home program, which all applicants from my school got)...but oddly, I don't have any rejections either. I did apply to programs that other people at my school have invites and rejections to. I sent my application on Sunday night(5 days after application opening), would this make a difference? One of my advisor's suggested they look at applications in order of submission thus my app not have been looked at by some programs. Have others found this to be the case?

BTW my board score are slightly below average and my class rank is low, so this may be hurting me....but then why don't I have more rejections?

I hear a lot of programs never end up formally rejecting...

Indubitably. Many of the fancy pants programs didn't bother responding. Four months into intern year I'm still waiting!

Dude...I'm 3+ years into being an attending and still waiting for a response from those dinguses at Stanford.

If I was the PD or PC at Stanford reading this, I'd email you an interview invite (... for IM residency) right now just for poops and giggles.

Just 10 years too late.

That's why it's funny.

Exactly. Gutonc is simple enough to identify for an old-timer, so if the PD of Stanford is coincidentally a SDN reader (slim odds, I know), it would be amusing.

I welcome it.
