Ooof, rough day. Cleveland Clinic, Sloan, and UChicago rejections all in one day. What does it take to interview at the big name places? I thought I had a pretty solid app, but apparently not.

Same here... thought I had a solid app too. There are only a few places that haven't given out interviews yet, so we'll see how it goes.
Lol just look at the current residents at Harvard! 80% of them are from Harvard! btw, that's why I didn't bother applying there, no matter what my stats are!I'm convinced that some of these big name institutions rely heavily on your med school (Top 50)
I still haven't heard one way or another from a program that I am would like to end up at. Would it be ok to send them an email letting them know my interest?
A program contacted me today saying I am on their waiting list. I was wondering what to make of it, it is a solid program not top 15. How realistic is it to recieve an invite from a program wait listing you. Anythoughts?
From a reliable source, no.
Anyone hear from Stanford recently? Second wave of interviews or formal wait list?
Got a Utah rejection/waitlist today. A quick question from you guys: I have 10 interviews so far, one of them in a location that I'm less than thrilled about. Would it be a bad idea to cancel it and go down to 9? This whole process is getting pretty expensive.
Any updates on Harvard interviews? Has a second wave gone out?
I have 12 invites and I have cancelled 3 of them because they were from programs with not good academic reputation. I want to go to a _good_ program - and I have finally made up my mind that I'd rather not match this year than go someplace where I will not get good training. Still not sure if this is the right decision. If you look at charting outcomes from last year, no one with >11 ranks did not match. Which means that one probably needs to rank >13 (and consult good astrologist/sacrifice an unblemished lamb) to be absolutely guaranteed a match. On the other hand, someone ranked 1 and matched (I'd pay big money to meet him/her!!! ).Got a Utah rejection/waitlist today.

bueller?
i hope they're still giving interviews... hesitant to keep asking. still waiting for one myself
Has any one heard anything else from the three Chicago programs, interview/rejection/or waitlist?
I would tell them why you would rather do rad onc, its not a trick question.When an interviewer asks you why rad-onc vs. heme/onc how do you typically respond?
So which method are people using to thank program directors/interviewers?.
So when did all of you guys for this cycle take your Step 2CK? It'd be really helpful for those of us coming right behind you!
