  They're Coming To Take Me Away, Ha Ha, They're Coming To Take Me Away check out this shit. as you read, keep in mind the following: 1. i applied to medical school during the summer of 2001 . 2. wright state, which is not exactly in the top tier of medical school, rejected me outright, without asking for a secondary application, without any explanation. however, i was granted interviews at several other schools, all with better reputations and rankings than wright state. 3. whenever i called wright state to inquire about the status of my application (as in "have you received it yet? "), they refused to answer any of my questions except on thursdays and fridays between noon and 2:00. 4. i was fortunate enough to be accepted into MCO, where i have already completed over half of my medical training. i received the following email today: Dear Applicant, The Office of Admissions has received your application from AMCAS. Thank you for your interest in Wright State University School of Medicine. For your convenience , our secondary application is on-line. To complete the application and pay the fee of $40 , please go to the following site: www.med.wright.edu select Students tab, then click on Admissions, and then Secondary Application The Admissions Committee will review applications and invite applicants to interviews through early May. If your application is complete and you have not heard from the committee , then you are being considered for an interview.
Applicants are scheduled for interviews through e-mail and telephone calls. The class is not filled until after interviewing is completed in early May. The final acceptances are usually offered through late July to applicants on the alternate list. During the admissions process you can access your status on-line at the above website.Any questions not related to status can be answered by calling the Admissions Office at 937-775-2936 or 937-775-3762.
Mondays 1-4 pm and Thursdays 9 am-12 noon. Wright State University School of Medicine Office of Admissions (italics are mine) heh heh heh. i'm still considering possible courses of action, trying to decide exactly how ornery i feel about the whole thing. on some level, it's beyond hilarious. yet had i not been accepted into another medical school, far from funny would it be. also, who else got this email, and are they flipping burgers because they didn't get in anywhere else? i would love to know who else is on this mailing list. i'm accepting suggestions for a way to embarass that office a bit, since they were so damned courteous when i was on pins and needles, waiting to find out what my future would be. i have a feeling that this is the beginning of a long career in dealing with the absurd.
