U of C says no as well.

Is there any value in contacting them to let them know that you're especially interested? Or too much risk of annoying them?
And if so, would you contact the coordinator or the program director? And by phone or email or handwritten letter? Or ask an attending to call for you?

dr. maybe said:I was waiting to hear from two programs I was interested in so I call to "check on the status of my application" in the morning. When I got home in the afternoon, I had received invites from both. It was definitely worth it and I did not feel like I was bothering anyone.
Lara said:And the hits keep on coming. Got the axe from Northwestern too. Thank goodness I kept all my earlier interviews as it's been zilch since October (and contacting programs hasn't done a thing). Oh well, I've got enough great invites. It's just annoying being rejected all at once.
I do hope someone cancels Loyola now on either the 12th or 14th of December, so I can move up my date and not conflict with rotations...
funnygirl said:Hey guys, have any of you gotten phone calls from programs pre-interview time? Also is it the norm to get thank you notes from interviewers? I'm sure this is part of the schtick to get people more interested in the program and I should just ignore it and focus on my interview experience, but its just weird.
Lara said:Well, I'm stunned. I didn't get to check my email since early afternoon Saturday, and today I found an invite from...UCSF. I thought pigs would fly before I'd have a chance there, this is unbelievable! My only question now is whether I'm being considered for primary care, categorical or both somehow...did anyone's email specify?
Thanks for the Columbia info, crossing fingers there are cancellations later. Don't know if I dare hope for MGH, but no official rejection yet - eeeek!
