    Not a peep. According to the confirmation letter local folks should start receiving their notifications via snail mail sometime next week. I'm assuming small letter envelope means rejection. So here's hoping for a big fat envelope for everyone.

    All eggs in one basket here too. Plan B is to reapply to UCSF next year. At least the odds of getting in went up with the additional openings.
