I definitely wouldn't include that in the email. I'm pretty sure it's against the Match rules to state exactly how you are ranking a school (you & the school are allowed to state THAT you are ranking each other, but not how, or in what order). On that note.. has anybody had a school inform them that they intend to rank you during the interview or afterwards? Just curious Edited March 22, 2018 by bB0769 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At other schools, you don't usually pay, since you are just doing clinical rotations. I had assumed it was the same at Northwestern, but I could be wrong. If they say we are registered for that quarter i assume that means we would have to pay! Thats something i may ask a current student about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from the rules e-mail they sent out "Neither party may disclose to the other party or solicit from the other party any information regarding the positioning of any applicant or program on a Rank Order List. For example, you cannot say "I will rank you first on my list" or "You are in my top-3 choices"." I personally haven't told any program that I'm planning to rank them, but I do plan to rank all the programs I interviewed with. I'm glad I haven't sent them yet then. How embarrassing!

AnonymousWalrus Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I got my rejection letter from Arcadia too this weekend. Still no word from Jefferson. Who wants to contact them? I called over a week ago and they said they’d release names by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJM19 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) At Emory, the program said they would send an email to all candidates next week, letting us know if they plan to rank us or not (permissible by match rules). Out of curiosity, has anyone encountered other programs that are doing this? Edited March 30, 2018 by AJM19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't heard from them at all since you submitted you application, I would definitely reach out to them! Hope that helps (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bz79 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 For those of you who got the financial letter from Michigan, do you think they tell every intervie that they “intend to rank them”? Or do you think they only say that to a certain number of people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayanM Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi guys, I just wanted to ask if anyone knows an international GC student? I almost can't any international students on the school students bios. I'm planning on applying next year but I'm just concerned that I won't have a chance. I graduated from an international campus of Carnegie Mellon University with Bachelors Degree in Biological Sciences, GPA of 3.61 with university and research honors and a certificate in Spanish language. I have worked in college as a TA in molecular genetics lab. I'm currently working in a diagnostics lab and will start a GC shadowing experience soon. Would love to hear some positive experiences from international students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to hear some positive experiences from international students. Some schools have Canadian students. You should contact them. The best thing to do is email the program coordinator and request to speak with international current students or alumni. They are very helpful in connecting you with them. For me, around 3 to 4 schools connected me with Indian alumni, and most of my other schools tried connecting me to current students from Canada or other countries.

They would be a good program to reach out to and could probably give you her contact information if you asked for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The confirmed that the LEND track was removed because they couldn't say with 100% confidence that they would be able to provide the second year funding. Other than that I don't think there was any other financial info. hfj23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blizzard Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 So one other paranoid worrier question...2 out of the three programs I sent thank you emails to, haven't responded. Should I be worried that's a really bad sign? I think at this point I just like to worry. April 27th can't come quick enough. Bz79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
