I agree that it is poor form not to cancel interviews.

Yeah, I'm seeing a lot of that on the trail too...just did an interview yesterday where three of the 7 or 8 people that were supposed to be interviewing no showed.
Anyone else struggling with rank lists? I liked a lot of programs I interviewed at, even though they are all so different. Tough decisions. Can't decide if I want a county experience or a big private hospital experience.

Baylor Houston has 3 spots. Are you saying that they are going to take 3 internal candidates?Well San Antonio texas program is good with less research component if that is something you really prefer. Dallas Texas program is really good and they don't have any internal candidate this year. Have no clue about Galveston program and Baylor Houston is good program but this year they have their internal candidates and this is what really bothers me that why the hell you waste people money when at the end you will prefer internal candidates. I was shocked to go to some programs that have only 1 seat and they are interviewing like 25 people for 1 seat and on top of that they have their internal candidate as well. There should be certain rules by AAMC to stop such programs because even attending interviews are time consuming and really expensive as I spend almost $5000 to attend mine.
Emory seemed strong clinically.I would be interested in thoughts on:
Emory
Georgetown
UNC
Anyone with a good take on these programs?

Out of curiosity, has anybody received anything like 'ranked to match' emails or phone calls from programs?
Do rheum programs do these things?
@rheumangel do they send emails about ranking or just general thank you emails.
Thanks for clarifying about Baylor. I agree that we should comment on overall feels of programs.Just my two cents...... As I see from the pattern everybody has lot of questions but no one wants to share any information. This year it seems there are only couple of active users on the forum. I don't see any issue if we discuss the programs as interview season is over now and It will be better if we share our own experience of a program first before asking others for opinion. It will definitely help current and future applicants when making decisions.
@ Rheumchill i personally didn't get interview from baylor texas but i learned it from my friend who got interview from them. They have 2 internal candidates as he asked from one of the current fellows. He personally didn't like the program because it is going through a lot of transitions as they have new program director this year and last year's program director was not even a rheumatologist. But that is just one opinion. you should go with your own personal experience as what i am doing with my rank order list.
My interview season is finally done guys! Interviewed at 13 programs. USIMG that applied to 20 programs. Didn't get any "rank to match" e-mails from any of the programs, just friendly responses to my thank you e-mails. Saw a lot of great applicants on the interview trail though. Very nervous about match day despite having so many interviews. Wish you all the best. T-minus 26 days till we find out!
Yeah, I know the feeling.
I ultimately did 10 interviews but had about 20 offers when all was said and done. This is a good number by the Charting Outcomes data, but i still don't feel super confident. Couldn't go to most of the extra ten offers I had because of significant overlap on interview days, but there were maybe 3-4 more I could have wedged in were it not for some scheduling constraints with my residency program.
I think things will turn out OK for most of us, though.
Where did you match?Matched #1. Totally pumped.
