Hi! I was looking for a thread started by path applicants.
I'm applying to 50 programs so far...
Good luck

I'm still only 50% on my LORs being uploaded... One mysteriously vanished into the e-mail vapors (and the hard copy mysteriously didn't make it to the Dean's Office), and the other isn't completed yet. I'm not a patient person by nature--I'm hoping I can heed mlw's advice and keep my cool. This may be one of those times it's helpful to have an uber laid-back spouse at home!
50 programs?!? Yowza! Has the field become amazingly competitive in the past 5 years or something?
I agree... the magic number is 10-12 interviews.... so people should apply to the number of places that they think will result in this number.
something to think about, if you are a top tier like candidate and you apply to many low tier you will not get as many interviews as you hope. If you are a candidate that a program does not believe they can get they wont waste their time interviewing... So try to get a reall good picture of what type of candidate you are, high, med, low tier and concentrate most of the applications to programs of that tier...
Hello Everyone! I'm glad to see this Pathology post up so that we can communicate through this whole Match Process. I submitted my application on Thursday, Sept. 1 and got my first interview offer the next day on Friday, Sept. 2. It is at University of Florida!! I am super excited! I was surprised b/c I still was missing 2 LoRs and my Step 2 Scores, but I quickly responded with my preferred interview date.
Good luck everyone! Lets keep each other motivated!

Thanks everyone! The invite was forwarded to my email account from the ERAS message center; all the messages from there are automatically forwarded to the email address you put down in the application. So if you see a message in the message center and you did not receive the email, they suggest that you check your Trash/Junk Folder.That's awesome, congratulations! Did you get the interview invite by your main email address or the ERAS message center? Also, as far as the dates offered and confirming the interview, how did it work?
Thanks!
Hey there, another applicant here. Applied 9/1 to 27 programs, got first invite from UF as well on 9/2, scheduled for 10/17. I am also waiting on 1 LOR. And I'm also a DO student. Good luck to all
I'm checking my email so frequently that I think I'm developing a personality disorder!Good luck with the PS and good luck to all today- lets hope we are not all waiting another weekend!
All my documents have been downloaded to all programs except 2 or 3.
Hopefully they start sending invites tomorrow, otherwise...let's wait another weekend.
Last year the first interview invitation was received on September 8th!
