Thank you so much! I’m sure you did great too!

Which ones your D is interested right now? I know lot of them change after rotations.

Not sure, hematologist/oncologist may be on cards. It may change after M3/M4 rotations.

I heard some cities have too many cardiologists.

9669

those numbers scares so many here.

9670

Who knows what they do when time comes to apply for residency.

9671

Didn’t someone say those are piece of cake and only issue is rest of the “grind”?

Sorry to hear about it.
URoch does such a good job of their interviews and getting a rejection after that experience really feels devastating.
Hang in there.

Factor $400K to $700K for total cost for most BS/MD programs - assuming no scholarships.

Rejected


9677

from REMS? Wait did you interview at NSU for their BS/DO?

9678

Any further word on Stonybrook for anyone?

9679

Sorry to hear about that. Don’t worry tho, there’s always another plan and you’ve got this

Sorry to hear about your REMS rejection. Do you have any other bird in hand or want to pursue traditional path to achieve your dream?

9681

I was hoping that you’d be accepted but your journey to medical school has just started. The opinions of a group of interviewers who met you on a virtual interview shouldn’t impact your goals, even if this rejection means a detour from the BS/MD route you were planning on.

You can be sad about this decision but don’t let it get you down for very long. Knowing that you got the REMS interview (my son and many others on this forum didn’t) means that your potential to do great things in medicine is excellent.

They mostly accept people who are URM. That’s the main “requirement”
