I apologize but the invitation was sent in error.

The University of Pennsylvania does NOT have any open interview spots
available for this year.

We regret to inform you that you are no longer under consideration for a
residency position for this 2012 academic year at the Hospital of the
University of Pennsylvania. We appreciate all your efforts in applying to our
program and assure you that your application received a careful and detailed
review.

This year, we received hundreds of applications and are only able to offer a
limited number of interview slots. Given the high quality of all of our
applicants, the selection committee was faced with a very difficult
decision-making task.

We wish you the best in your pursuit of other Psychiatry residency
opportunities, and thank you for your interest in the University of
Pennsylvania Residency Training Program.


Sincerely,
Anthony L. Rostain, MD
Director of Education
University of Pennsylvania
Department of Psychiatry

realize that people were getting a much higher number of I/Vs back then. And I am not talking about any outstanding applicants either. Have things really changed so drastically over the last few years ??

My first Email:

Dear RC

I received an interview invitation from you on behalf of Univ. of Pennsylvania, but within 10 minutes, I also got another email saying you didn't have any interview spots.

So, I am a bit confused now.

Do you mind clarifying my application status please?

Thanks

Sorry.

My second Email:

So, does it mean that you do not have spots just on 1/20, but have other Friday slots?

Can you please clarify, because your information is still incomplete and confusing.
