Anyone else getting a lot of rejections through PTCAS?
Looks like I'll be applying for the second time next year!

The major problem is that PTCAS has made many more students available to many different schools. In the past, people on the east coast would generally not bother applying, one-by-one, to many western schools. But now, with one application on PTCAS, its more of a "what-the-heck, why not" mentality.
This had made the applicant pools larger for nearly every school, and hence, more and more rejection letters being sent out.
What are you personal stats and where did you apply for school? This is the first year that PTCAS is being used so there are going to bugs that need to be worked out, but I haven't had a problem with them. They received all my information and processed it in a timely manner.
Perhaps the schools you applied to where heavily impacted this year because the applicant pool has gotten much larger. I know that is true for all the schools out here in CA. I got one rejection, but I'm on a lot of waitlists. I think if I applied last year I might have been accepted to all the schools that waitlisted me this year.
GPA: 3.02
Science GPA 3.4
GRE:1290
I applied to a lot of schools in the NY/NJ area (rejected from all but UMDNJ-Camden [waitlisted]). Oh well, life's a b#tch!
A no offense dude, but WTF!!!! you have great stats. how did your interviews go? How many observations hours did you have? What was ur Resume, EC, and Personal Statements like?
I would double check ur stuff to see if you made a mistake somewhere. Also are you a Jr, Sr, completed (in) college? this might matter more.
If you want PM me if you think I am getting too personal questions.
I second what Bigshoguns said. Your stats should have gotten you in somewhere.
Here's the official rejection list:
Columbia (can't complain), NYIT, UMDNJ-Newark; New York Medical College, Seton Hall
Waitlisted: UMDNJ-Camden. One of my rec letters got there very late (despite having interviewed in December), and I think since it got there late that my file got reviewed too late in the admissions cycle for me to get accepted. Word to the wise: get on your people to send out your rec letters on time!
