I just submitted this week am I already screwed for these programs or do they do rolling admissions?

From what I've seen and heard about previous years most places send out invites in 2 or 3 rounds. Can't say for certain, but I'd say most, if not all, of these programs will send out invites again as more applications roll in.
 
Adding Temple and editing Arizona to change “zoom” to “in person”

Definitely thrilled with Arizona offer since Bilal Joseph is the man, but if you’re not close to there, you basically have to take 3 vacation days. Dinner at 7pm night before and interview day goes 6am-4pm

I’m from LSU Shreveport, so I asked our fellowship director and he says almost every place does a rolling offer type deal. Usually 2-3 rounds as previously stated by others. You should be fine. One of my attendings waited until middle of May to apply and did fine.

Also for those of you looking for trauma heavy program, sneaky volume here at Shreveport

3500ish per year. 25-30% penetrating. Program is only a year old and working through some things learned this year but I’m happy to answer any questions about the program honestly to anyone who is interested. Absolutely love the attendings.

I submitted in late May after failing to match CT a couple years ago and still got plenty of offers from top places, you will be fine.

Does anyone know if there’s a way to edit/resend your letter requests? One of my staff says they never got it…

I don’t know if you can do that but if you email them through the website they respond quickly and are super helpful

Does anyone know what programs are known to be "good" programs? I know that definition is different for everyone, but I wanted to see what people thought about each program
