@kompete_xy,

Did u receive this mail today?

Because they sent it to me sometime in October and again today as 'stand by'.

I hope they send you also something like what they sent to us, which is better than long silence, I guess.

anyone interviewed at temple ?

I wish we had more interview slots to accommodate the many fine applicants like you, but unfortunately there are limits to the time we can devote to the process. We will not be able to schedule you for an interview this year. It is a loss for both of us, since I enjoy meeting medical students and physicians interested in the specialty that I have chosen to spend my life practicing. I am sure your talents could be very helpful to the patients I care about.
Our program received more than 700 applications for our 7 spots. Many more than the 100 we are able to interview, would be excellent psychiatrists. If Congress were able to increase funding for graduate medical education, I am sure we could fill another7, or even 70 spots. If only.
I hope you are able to continue your pursuit of this specialty, I have found it immensely rewarding.
nice rejection!!
