Hi all!
I was told by one of my deans that 2 programs in Boston (won't name them to be super cautious) called to ask about a short list of applicants from my med school. My dean said this was a good thing (I'm AOA, high board scores, etc... and have no red flags on my transcript like a test failure or professionalism issues that would prompt a "clarification call") and that she had nothing but great things to say...so I'm grateful. But I'm also curious to know if this means the programs are more seriously considering ranking me to match. I'm applying prelim medicine (+anesthesia applicant) and would really love to go to either of these medicine programs for my prelim year, but I don't want to read into this and set myself up for disappointment.
I know we're supposed to take any pre/post interview communication with a grain of salt, but has anyone else had any experience with this (specifically with Boston programs)? Anyone have any idea what it means?
Thanks so much!
