i understand how are you feeling, on the same boat, i dont even get any rejection for last 10 days, its horrible.
may I know ur profile, just to figure our what exactly is affecting our application?Mine is 89/99/83/all 1st attempt/2004/research/observership. no iv yet. may be 6-7 rejectios, did not count properly.

creds are similar except my grad year, for me i think its only my grad yr.
i know mlegal, have the same feeling, atleast rejections can say that they read our application. nothing from their side is very disappointing. Don't know what to do, thinking of plan B.

mlegal and neversaydie, how many programs did you apply? because i applied to about 120 IM prog and have got 18 rej. so may be if your inbox is silent your appln is still being considered.... dont lose hope is all i am saying

doc129, i applied to 110 IM, around 60 FM. i know what u r saying, but statistically atleast 70% programs dont care to reject u, which is called silent rejection. so it really is not a hope anymore not to get rejection. may be 1 more week left, but i can not be falsely hopeful anymore. thanks for ur support.

doc129, i applied to 140 IM, 40 FM and 10 peds..
and still no iv, and no rejection..
everybody in this forum just kept my hopes high all these days saying oct first week would be the tsunami or whatever of the ivs/rejs..
not even water drops for me.........

there is chance till end of 1st week of november. after that it is just small chance here and there but dont count on it much.

Lemme guess you thought whining about it would help?
Your credentials are so middle of the road amidst the highly competitive applicant pool this year that you are going to have to wait for the applicants in the upper echelons to prematch or cancel ivs for the IVs to come trickling down to you.
Now be a big boy and deal with it.
There are thousands of people like you. Its time to play the waiting game.
