On a related note, are you guys responding to these emails?
Add Kansas, Oklahoma, UIC, Wayne State - DMC, and Kentucky to the list.
Are you guys sending letters/emails back to the programs in response to their letters? Do they expect a reply?
Curious about the content of these letters. Do PD's specifically state that they are ranking you high or are they more general "it was nice interviewing with you, you seem nice" emails?
I received generic post-interview letters from UIC and Penn state PD's and a letter from Buffalo stating that they ranked me high.
To what extent this form of communication means anything; ::shrugs::

George Washington - email PD
Hopkins - email PD

Perhaps I should have been more specific....I don't think letters sent out immediately after your interview thanking you for coming or thank you's to your thank you's count. (Dartmouth and Tufts both sent me (and I think everybody) letters immediately after the interview, for example. Did you guys get anything more recent?) I was thinking more of contact that seems to be semi-personalized or allude to your ranking, and to that end, that were probably sent at the end of January or now in February.
Anyway, I haven't heard a peep from most of my programs yet....wonder if its still early or there is a trend toward less post-interview contact recently?
Seems like post interview contact is somewhat lower this year compared to prior years. Has anyone heard anything this week?
Got a bunch of phone calls/emails the past few days from some solid programs. Some were "you're a cool person" with no other details (UPMC, Columbia, UCSF) and others were "you're ranked to match, if you want to come, you can." Forgive me if I don't want to say exactly where. Not putting too much weight on it, but it's nice to hear.
also curious if anybody has heard from WUSTL or UW recently?
The personalized responses I've gotten have been a phone call from Louisville, letters (sent via email--some were handwritten and scanned) from 3 of my interviewers (including the PD) from Knoxville, and an email from the PD at MUSC. The only one this week was MUSC.
Anyone heard anything from Mayo at Jacksonville? That's one I'd really like to hear from.
Has anyone heard anything from Stanford?
Did anyone hear anything from Mayo-rochester before the deadline?
