Just got a rejection email from UT Houston. No school for me this year, womp womp!

@AspiringGC thanks so much for all the feedback! The two main areas that I think I'm probably lacking in will be shadowing (I didn't start shadowing until July of last year and only got to see maybe 10-15 patients - not sure how that compares with others' experiences) and advocacy (haven't done any advocacy work since 2015 when I was a hospital advocate for rape/sexual assault survivors).
I'm not sure I'd be able to do an internship since most of the ones I've seen around my city (Houston) are pretty intensive and I work full-time at MD Anderson (I'm in cytogenetics, so I figured that would really help my apps as I've worked in both constitutional and cancer labs).
So would you recommend reaching out around May for feedback from schools I applied to?

Just got my official rejection letter from Baylor. Any recommendations on when to ask them for suggestions to build up my app for next year?

Has anybody gotten any updates from UT Houston other than interview invitations? I'm wondering if there's somewhere I can check to see if I've been denied since I haven't heard anything from them yet.

Still waiting to hear back from Stanislaus, Denver, Baylor and Hopkins. Baylor's portal just says "under review", which is unnerving since they're my top choice.
Dang, I didn't even think to check Baylor's application portal website until you mentioned it. Mine says "Not Offered", so I guess you're still in the running!

No email from Baylor
Getting anxious
Nothing from UT or Baylor here, and those are the only schools I applied to. Guess I should start working on building up my resumé for next year!

Based on conversations myself and another applicant had with the UT coordinator, their interviews were NOT given out on a rolling basis. And we would be hearing back no later than February 15th on our application decision (which she did not confirm or deny either way). Based on that, I'm definitely expecting a rejection some time soon
Dang, that's pretty disheartening. I didn't see very many people on here say they got interview invitations from UT, so I was hoping more invites would be going out soon. I only applied to UT and Baylor, so I'm not too thrilled about my prospects this year. Ah well, one more year to fluff up my resumé.

Did anyone else just get an e-mail from the National Matching Service reminding us of the rules? I had a mini-heart attack when I saw it, thinking maybe I had broken some rules.
Yup. Mine also said "To: Jonah Peranson" at the top, which is very much not my name.

Question about the Match: I just received an email about rules for the Match, etc. I was rejected from the two schools I applied to. Do I need to submit anything for the Match, or do I need to opt out since I didn't receive interviews and was flat-out rejected/not waitlisted?
