On a different note - how do people feel about emailing programs that you haven't heard from yet?
Glad to have sparked a discussion. I think that the point is to be courteous of your fellow applicants. If you are not seriously considering a place then just cancel the interview and don't waste your time, the programs' time, and potentially take away the chance for someone else to interview.
I think that its important to realize that if you are a candidate that has gotten greater than ten interviews so early (before Sept 1st), then chances are that you will get into one of your top choices, and there is no need to go crazy with 15-20 interviews.
There are applicants that have not gotten one interview so far or maybe one, and are anxiously awaiting a second. Consider yourself fortunate if you have gotten 7, 8, or even more interviews. That's all you need in my opinion, especially if they were early invites.
You may disagree. You are entitled to disagree. Just sharing my thoughts and opinion.
Thanks,
Your Fellow Applicant
Ps. NYCSCOPE-- didn't you match last year?
On a different note - how do people feel about emailing programs that you haven't heard from yet?
Its monday again. I'm curious to how many programs are left who haven't sent out invites?
Would you mind sharing which programs you called that told you this? Did any state they still had some to send out?
Called programs in texas, florida and new york mostly. Only ones who haven't sent out invites that i called were U kentucky and Upenn.
Has anyone heard from MUSC?
Hi! Has anyone heard from Univ of Louisville, Tufts, NS-LIJ, Mount Sinai at Beth Isreael, and Downstate?!
Yes. The M4s broke it this morning.Is ERAS down?? i am unable to log on
5 rejection emails from Drexel!!! Gotcha.
Anyone hear from Tufts, UMass, or UConn yet?
I didn't think Tufts had sent out many invites at all yet, at least per our discussions on this board- maybe one invite. Perhaps the same with UMass and UConn...?
I think some programs must still be taking their time to review everyone's application thoroughly before sending out invites. There are probably some applications that are given interviews right away and then the bulk of other applications are mulled over for several weeks before the rest of the invites are sent. This is my theory at least.
Definitely some of the NY programs have been later I have noticed. That has been a pretty consistent trend.
BI in Boston sent out invites and rejections already, I believe. Not sure about NSLIJ- seems to be on the later side with their invites as well, being a NY program.
Has anyone heard from GW or NJ programs (outside of cooper?)
NS-LIJ today.
Great place. Busy.Rutgers NJMS today
Friend heard from Tufts last week.Anyone hear from Tufts yet?
Come on guys!!! Is this thread already dead?!? Anyone get any invites this week?! Silence for me. Hoping still for a few invites, but I think it's over for me. Are there still programs that have not handed out invites?! Has anyone recieved an invite from Downstate?!
A friend of mine got one from Downstate a few weeks ago.
