#Rejs:

@Anesthesia:
1.University of Cincinnati, OH(09/17, reason: " There are a large number of highly qualified applicants this year, and I have to make difficult decisions.")

2.University of New Mexico School of Medicine, NM(09/21, reason:"We have been fortunate to have many well qualified applicants. As a result, our training program has become very competitive.")

3.Wayne State University / Detroit Medical Center(09/25, reason:"We have already received almost 400 applications for our 10 positions, an extremely large amount. Like other programs, we are seeing more interest in our specialty. The quality of the applicants continues to impress us. Therefore, we had to look at applicants more critically and raise our expectations regarding USMLE scores, past experience (anesthesia, research,. . .), grades on transcripts, etc")

4.University of Florida COM- Regret(09/26, reason:"we regret that we are unable to grant you an interview. Unfortunately, because of the large number of applicants to our program, we are unable to interview everyone. Therefore, we carefully screen the applications and invite only those applicants we feel are the most competitive for our program. This also helps the applicants to conserve their travel funds."--Thanx, UF, my travel funds were saved!)

5.University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI(10/09, "We have had an umprecedented number of candidates apply for our residency through ERAS this year. Right now I have no open interview spots that I can offer you. I wanted to convey this information to you so that you may make plans to attend to your other interviews and not wait to hear from us.")

6.University of Kentucky, KY(10/10, "We have received an overwhelming number of quality applications to our program this year through ERAS, and have only a limited number of interview positions available.")

7.Ochsner Anesthesiology New Orleans, LA(10/11, "After a careful and thorough review of this year's applicant pool, I regret to inform you that we will not be able to offer you an interview for a position in our Anesthesiology Residency Program. Review of your application demonstrates many outstanding qualities, and I am certain that hard work and dedication will allow you to achieve your goal of training in anesthesia."---nice rejection)
