Subject Heading: Regrets

Ok. Not to belabor the point...but the final nail in the coffin of medical school rejection's from Canada arrived last Friday.

I must commend the University of Toronto for having the email subject heading, "Regrets".

YES!!

THAT is what I am TALKING ABOUT!!

No, not the rejection part, but the clear, concise let down. I hadn't even thought of "regrets" for a subject heading as the quickest-band-aid-removal for "what is the email from admissions going to say?"

Sigh. U of T, you complete me.

Well you don't. But your PFO email style does.

They don't F around at UofT...
WTF, tho'? Seriously? Who do they want???

You should. :P

I applied in Ireland but haven't heard yet. They don't send out invites until April/May.

Yeah I was going to apply to England and Australia but I just ran out of time/money in the fall due to the India trip. I figured 15 applications was enough.

Like I wanted to move to the concrete jungle and be in a class of 4 million at U of T. ;)

Yeah, there is nothing like that feeling of dread while you wait for the email to load. (And internet is ALWAYS slow for those sorts of messages).

DF--yes...it is almost as if the computer senses the sweat on your palms and takes its sweet-assed time to load.

Anon--hahah. Nice. The snail mail equivalent to "congrats" in the subject line.
