Looks like very little activity today.. only 2 interviews for 10/16 updated on the spreadsheet (compared to 40+ yesterday). Does this mean just about all invites have been sent?
I have heard from Tulane & MUSC. Does anyone know anything about the program in Tulane?Could anybody comment on which programs in the states of Louisiana, texas, florida, and sc still haven't invited yet or will be sending more invites? These are the states I applied to and just wondering if most are all filled up since Im late.
Does UW require step 2 before they give interviews?

anyone have any current info on UCLA Harbor?
are most your schools giving you time off for interview season? or allowable days to miss in order to attend interviews?
Anyone know of any good, cheap hotels in Boston??? The prices are ridiculous
Did you try AirBnB?
Is anyone else having a serious dry spell or should I just go pad the wallet of eras and round up some more programs? Started hot but for the last week now it has been no news or rejections.
same... got 10 in the first two weeks but ever since MSPEs got like 3 in the last 2+weeks. At this point, im going to assume no more interviews unless people start cancelling.

Same here.. haven't had an invite in about 10 days. ive received more rejections in that time. Just curious, do the both of you have step 2 scores in already? I'm wondering if im receiving so few invites because my step 2 score isn't in

I have been thinking about this as well... Both of my step 2 scores are not in. I took CS last week and CK next week. I hope not having a step 2 score isnt hurting me...

By UW, do you mean Washington? If so, then they don't require a step 2 score.
No idea on Wisconsin.
I got my step 2 scores back about 3 weeks ago and I scored well, and got the bulk of my interviews after the score came in, so I think you guys should take some comfort there. I only have single digits so far for interview offers and the only thing I am taking comfort in is that it is A) still only the middle of October and B) someone mentioning at the ASA conference that many PDs said they were still going through large volumes of applications. Does anyone have any more info on this or is it time to panic?
I was told by a CA1 (not at Wake) that Wake Forest does not invite without step 2 CK. She had called them to find out why she hadn't heard and they said they need step 2 before. Maybe it was a personal thing, but she was a very competetive applicant.I am not familiar with any programs that have hard requirements for step 2 prior to interview offers. Some require it to rank you, though.
Pretty easy to tell people not to worry about interviews when you are sitting on 15 of them there champ.Again, these are anecdotes and probably not the prevailing opinion. That said, all it takes is one person's poor opinion to ruin you at a particular program, right? Hell, you could flip off the PD unknowingly, while on your way to your interview.
This entire process is a craps, shoot. All y'all need to stop worrying so much about every little thing. I mean, your neuroticism is hilarious and all, but it is certainly not helping you progress in your training.

Is anyone else getting lots of rejections from prelim programs, particularly medicine? I've gotten a decent amount of anesthesia interviews but a bunch of prelim medicine rejections this week, including my home institution. Are prelim medicine places anti-anesthesia?
Could Someone please comment as to what the "yes" and "no" means on the google document for interviews on the program interview days?? Im trying to figure out which programs have yet to invite
Whether they pay for a hotel or not.
yeah I see that now. I missed that at first. Anyway to tell which places haven't invited yet?
I've been reading the google document and there's really some great information in there but I noticed something....if there are only 70-80 or so applicants on the document and according to charting the outcomes 2014 there are approx 1300 applicants to anesthesia last year, is this document even useful as only about 5% of total applicants are even entering there information into it? Just a thought but seems like the sample size may be too small to be useful
Anyone know why the spreadsheet is messed up all of a sudden? Schools in the wrong state, wrong number of interviews, etc.?

I have actually called a good number of programs, and almost every single one has said they are still in the middle of sorting applications, that it is very early in the season, and things are running a bit late this year. I am a DO applicant, Step 1 236, Step 2 254, great clinical grades/LORs, and I have 7 anesthesia invites (UCLA, UW, Emory, U Florida, UT Houston, UAB), 1 anesthesia wait list (MUSC), and 2 prelim/transitional year invites so far.
I don't think it is time to panic yet... they will trickle in. The time to panic would be mid November, but by then its too late to submit more applications so... do what you will. I applied to 31 programs (mostly top/middle tier), and I am going to wait it out. I have heard the golden number to match is 10 interviews - gives almost 100% chance of matching. Even 6 gives you about an 85% chance though so I think we all just need to relax, as hard as that is... I got a few invites the week the MSPEs went out, then 1-2 a week since then, so it has been slow, but programs are still sending out invites, some haven't sent any out yet, and people will CANCEL as the season goes on. There is time.
Is there a wait list thread or are ppl using this one for that too?
it would be good to create a tab for waitlist on that spreadsheet.
