Well, we got some bad news today...
Josh got two rejection letters in one day. Both from schools that were on the top of our list. This morning we got an email from Utah saying that they did not want to interview him and then this afternoon the University of Colorado said the same.
My poor husband. He is pretty depressed. Honestly, I do not know what is wrong with these schools. I know Josh would not want me to list his board scores, but I can tell you that he was in the top 1% of all medical students when he took the boards this September. TOP ONE PERCENT. That is smart. That is somebody that these schools would want for a resident. Not to mention that his deans letter is FANTASTIC. I swear, they ran out of positive words in describing Josh's abilities and knowledge when they wrote his dean's letter. The letter breaks students up into quartiles and Josh was in the top 25% of UW students. Oh, did I mention that the UW is one of the top medical schools???
Utah and Colorado?? You Stink!
So far our only West Coast interview is at Virgina Mason. On a better note he was offered at interview at our top choice on Monday. It is a community program in Rochester, New York. (This is where I really want to go... why, you may ask? Google 'real estate in rochester, ny' and you will get your answer!)
Last Friday the University of Mass, in Worcester, offered him an interview too. So that makes one West Coast, two Mid-West and four East Coast.
HELLO NEW ENGLAND!!!
At least my sister will be happy :)
***UPDATE***
Weird. In the time it took me to write this post, Josh called me back saying that he had been offered an 8th interview. This is at the University of New Mexico. I don't know much about NM, but I guess I should start my research!

Ahhhh! I swear not only do they want to bash med students down physically and mentally but emotionally as well, at least Josh has gotten invitations, we're still waiting on our first, I'm trying not to freak out. :( I hate the anticipation!!!
Okay, yeah - boo "The U" for not offering an interview. But I promise UT is still a great place! :) Rochester is cool too.
DON'T GIVE UP HOPE JOSH!!! THOSE GUYS STINK FOR NOT EVEN WANTING TO INTERVIEW YOU.... KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK, AND DON'T THINK ANYTHING LESS OF YOURSELF... YOU ROCK IN OUR BOOK!
