I got an invitation for telephonic interview from St Louis U...Can anybody explain what may be the significance of this? Is this kind of screening? I never heard of phone IV in fellowship...thanks in advance

Thank you Annamaria for ur input.....I'll call PC on Monday...anybody has any other thought?

 

[simon2bar]

they might be interested to know if location-wise you are considering them strongly. (if there is anything in the application that might suggest there might be any hesitation - lets say moving from east coast to west coast, vice versa)
maybe it has helped them limit the number of interviews in the past

Thank you Simon2bar for your response. I appreciate that....

 

[amiondotcom]

Any more updates? I really only applied to programs in the Midwest and it seems like everything has gone quiet for now....

 

[annamaria]

It has slowed down. Perhaps programs reviewing applications in batches ??
methinks it should pick up by end of this week.

 

[MDRO]

Hope it picks up soon.

7/28: U Washington

Some of the coastal stuff is happening, but it has indeed been very quiet in the Midwest...

 

[annamaria]

Thats a good one ! Congratulations

Does everyone one have research experience? I decided quite late that I would pursue fellowship so don't have research apart from one poster which coincidentally was ID related. If research is not "one's cup of tea"can you still succeed in fellowship? Thanks

 

[simon2bar]

@mamagir
you better not mention a word about research 'not being your cup of tea' in any interviews
actually better come up with ideas about how to show them you re really interested in research
good luck

The more "academic" oriented a program is, the more heavily it will value research. In the competitive subspecialties, research is pretty much a pre-requisite for the serious programs and you have to sell people on your interest in a life of academia at their institution. In ID that's a little less true... someone from an academic program who does well during residency and shows an "interest" in research, regardless of whether they've actually done it, can go pretty far. Or so I've heard, anyway.

I can tell you that my (non-ID) PhD is turning out to be worth a heck of a lot more in the fellowship arena than it was for residency application.

UPMC Pittsburgh 07/31

The interview season has been ridiculously kind to me so far, and I should have no complaints whatsoever... but is it wrong to be little sad not to have gotten UPMC?

Well, I suppose it's not a "no," at least not yet.

Quick question, since I just submitted my applications yesterday... are you actually able to tell when a program uploads your application? Does the "available to programs" date/time indicate that they have actually uploaded your application or just that all pieces are available for them to do so? Is there some other way to tell?

Thanks

 

[ID aspirant]

I also haven't heard from them yet, no rejection letter. But I applied on 07/26.

Thank you MDRO for your response. If you dont mind, r u IMG or AMG? Do you require visa?

[WatsonG63]

Although I didn't entirely figure out the answer to my question - I received interview invites from Penn and UNC today - so at least I know someone is seeing my applications!

Thanks and good luck

Guud IV calls.. I personally think if ADTS tells you the time and date opposite various documents, it means that program has downloaded your application. Guud luck

Not really... I'm just from Pittsburgh.

Penn for me as well, 8/1. Congrats to all on the nice invites.

 

[ID aspirant]

The name of Washington U, St Louis is not in the list of "Match report 2014". Does that mean that they offered prematch last year??? Does anybody has any idea??? what's forum's opinion about this? thanks....

 

[mamagir]

Pretty quiet today...no invites anyone? Sorry ID aspirant no clue about your question but it does prompt one of mine. Does this mean some programs offer out of Match positions?
