Official 2016-2017 Hematology/Oncology Fellowship Application Cycle

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

Not open for further replies.
On the basis of correspondence with a couple of programs (reminding applicants not to call the office, pushing back expected interview notification dates), it seems there's an unexpectedly high volume of applications this cycle.

NIH is now a combined program.

Anyone have experience with the different tracks? Such as number of spots in each single track vs the combined? Overall, I'd like to be there for fellowship/work and don't care which path I take (my interests go both ways).

Any suggestions on optimizing returns would be greatly appreciated

Interview: SUNY downstate medical center. ** (8/12/16)
Rejection: East Carolina University/ Vidant Medical Center. ** (8/11/16)
 
Any one with insight into Michigan progs other than univ of Michigan n how they are? Also anyone heard from them?
 
Has anyone done the math to know statistically how many places we need to interview at to have a high chance of matching?

There used to be some publication that showed that ___% of people got within their nth choice for residency. Didn't know if there was something similar for fellowship.
 
Any one with insight into Michigan progs other than univ of Michigan n how they are? Also anyone heard from them?

Applied to 2 in Michigan, have not heard from either. I'm not very well versed in those programs but a lot of them seem to be in and around Detroit. Henry Ford is the one I've heard the most about because it is just a massive health system (lots of patients). I didn't get the sense that any of them besides UM had especially strong oncology departments, but I would be quite happy for someone to correct me on this matter (all I am looking at is their self-reported strongest departments, SDN posts, and cancer center rankings - unclear to me what value any of those resources are).
 
Also got interview at MCW 8/11*** if someone can add that (am on my phone).

No, still a lot of programs left that haven't sent out interviews.

We only heard from 38 of more than 130 programs. Also there is 2th, 3th and 4th batches of ivs. The last IV from 2015 was NYMC on 10/21. So I think we still have time. I read all the previous application threads, and I think the next 4 to 6 weeks are especially active for imgs.

I'm an AMG and noticed that my interview invites have been quieter since a couple weeks ago when they peaked. Are programs focused more on IMG applicants now?

Awkward problem: I've gotten several interviews at decent places (9 total at this point). Today, literally every single one of my co-applicant-residents (5 in total that I know of) got interviews at our home program for the exact same date (presumably it's an internal candidate date) - except me. I really want to stay at my home program, so getting this home interview is pretty much everything to me - I'm not sure if it was an oversight or if it was intentional. I don't think I'm a horrible applicant because I have gotten some interviews that I know others at my program haven't gotten, but who really knows, it's never that simple.

Do I (a) wait a week (? a day ? 2 days ? 2 weeks) and then "confirm that my application materials were received" or "ask about my possible interview status"? (b) ask an ally attending to subtly check in with the program director about whether or not I was supposed to get an interview? (c) silently suffer in silence indefinitely -- if I'm not invited then I clearly have my answer and asking will just be awkward for everyone (d) do something completely different like write a letter of interest (?)

Also (assuming I ask something) would I ask the PD or his secretary or someone else?

Serious answers would be appreciated, snark would be less appreciated. I've had a rough week for many reasons, so some reasonable advice is what I need.

I would totally ask your dept Letter writer ( presumably u have one from ur prog) put in an extra word for you or check in on application status. N if you dont here end of the week, may be write to the fellowship PD that u are very interested.
 
Only got 3 interviews so far, IMG need visa. Have a decent application and a year of research under my belt... Gotten double the number of rejections.... Should I just hang tight? Its a little nerve racking to see my counterparts at 9-10 interviews!!!

If I were you, I would start by e-mailing or meeting program coordinator asking if your application was reviewed. If your application is not reviewed, I would send e-mail to program director requesting to review application. But if matching at home institution was everything to me, I would personally have a meeting with program director irrespective of application review status.

I would hang tight until early-mid September before getting very worried. If there is a program in particular that you want, I would email them directly although not sure if they respond to solicitation. Just my two cents. I think img applicants will pick up interviews starting now.

In the same boat, hoping for a better week!

On the basis of correspondence with a couple of programs (reminding applicants not to call the office, pushing back expected interview notification dates), it seems there's an unexpectedly high volume of applications this cycle.

When is the last time you applied for something and you were told..."oh applications are down this year!" I wouldn't worry about it. Since college thru residency, I have heard the same thing. Applications having been going up since the beginning of time:)

Good luck to you all.
