All those who have applied to Hannepin County Hospital and have not heard back from it...Please call up the PC asap. Apparantly they have forgotten to call/ send E mails to cadidates selected for IVs...They missed me out for sure..

I have two questions,

1. Did anyone hear from Elmhurst after you sent thank you note? One of friends said they have sent out all pre matches. Any inside information?
2. What is the process after you received IV from carillon psych? Do they send you a confirmation email? How long before IV did you receive itinerary? Until when do they stop sending prematch?

Thanks for the help

@cisplatinum, mletomd,

I think you need to stop looking for hidden messages in these replies. They just mean that they like you and probably will include you in their rank lists. If they want to offer you a prematch, they will be clear and tell you.

morris,

are you serious, they forgot ??? I have applied and not heard anything, should I call or send an email.

I JUST EMAILED THEM SECONDS AGO.....let's see if they reply back.

BTW, I really do not appreciate programs that do not tell us about our status. If an applicant has spent money in applying to a program, they should have this courtesy. If they are not accepted for an I/V just tell them. I mean how much time does it take to sent a bulk email message. Otherwise you are just stranded in the middle of nowhere.

@ednorton,

I think some programs do this on purpose, so when an applicant cancels an interview, then they can replace that slot with another applicant. So depends on how you see it, if they haven't rejected you outright, then you still have a chance. I had 3 IVs this week from places that gave out most ivs in sept.

Yes I guess you are right belle....also I applied about 1 month ago after getting certified so that could be a reason also. The mystery of the process still frustrates me though.

BTW, I was going over another forum and looking at their I/V list fro 2007, I
