Sigh.... still waiting for my first official interview invitation. I have had a verbal offer form the PD at Ball Memorial in Muncie, IN (I'm doing a rotation there this month).

is that the "Your application is being processed within our department and I will contact you as soon as a decision is made...." email?
If so, I got it. I was sure it was a rejection, so I guess that's ok.
Yep... I got the same email. What a teaser! I thought it was going to be an interview invitation!
yep. got it too. what a wicked tease . . . .
Got an invite from Stanford today, super excited about it!!!
For those of you who have gotten interview invites so far, is your application entirely complete? My school doesn't upload transcripts until mid-October, so maybe I shouldn't even be expecting invitations yet...
My transcript is up, and I think everything is complete. The only thing that is missing is my MSPE, which my school doesn't upload until late Oct.
Yep, application is complete
I have one invite so far. 🙂 I am waiting for ecfmg to upload: 2 LORS, Transcript, MSPE (school sends that 11/1), step 2 (taken and on it's way).

Just got my first official interview invite: Wash U!
Oh sorry, I didn't think about U of Pittsburgh when I posted before. I didn't apply there. 😳 Snow. Blah. 🙂
Pitt County Memorial, NC was the location I was posting about. 👍
ditto. i scheduled mine for december 5. maybe i'll see you there?
Well, in my boredom, I compiled a list of places that have started to offer interviews. If you want, when you get an offer, add it to the list. I'm most interested to see which programs are starting to offer, not so much when your date is. This way we can see who has offered without reading through all the posts. OK?

Stanford
St Lukes NYC

Can you believe I was going to schedule it for the same day!!!!, but I believe they interview one candidate per day there, not sure, if not we might meet there!!
You are definitely a strong candidate apparently, can you share with us your credentials (scores, publications, etc) so we can have an idea of what they are looking for?
Thank you!!!

Neato. I just got my invite from them too earlier today.
Team San Antonio in the house! 👍
UT San Antonio.
Trying to schedule it, but couples matching makes it a tad bit more fluid. Hopefully she gets an interview too and we can all find an agreeable time.
I still have 1 LOR pending. Everything else except the Dean's letter is in.

Wtf guys...check this out:
Thank you for your interest in our pathology program @ UMKC SOM.
We are in receipt of your application; however, we do not have you USMLE Step
2 scores. Please forward these to us asap; we close applications on
Halloween.
I'm not scheduled to take Step 2 until Nov! I haven't heard of any path program that requires Step 2. Anyone else have this problem??

wow, that is kind of bizarre, from what i've been told. and they close applications before november? sounds weird. (btw - is that missouri-kansas . . . ?)
people - and PD's - i have spoken with say that having step 2 scores is relatively rare before december, and not essential to get an interview anyway - and they said this to me knowing i was an IMG.
vickypath - i can tell you one thing: San Antonio is an awesome city! one of my favs . . . in fact, the only city in the US that has 3 level one trauma centers. i was surprised to learn that fact.
Yeah, it's Kansas City, Missouri... This seems highly abnormal to me from what I've heard/read. I just got an email back from the secretary stating, "Most of our applicants have already taken Step 3."
PD is out til Sept 30th as well, so no answers anytime soon.
Schenanigans anyone?
I was trying so hard for San Antonio but PD wants step3 cleared before an IMG even would apply to this program.
Those who have got IV from San Antonio, dose all of you have already taken step3?😕

i haven't even taken step 2 and i got an interview; and i'm an IMG. thats why i call shenanigans on UMKC . . . but whatever, i guess they have all the right in the world to do things how they choose. but it is surprising
For those lucky guys who have got IV specailly from San Antonio, do you mind to share your credentials please.😎
So is it better to interview early, late, or between?

March angle, my credentials are: Step 1 232 (94), Step 2 209(84), passed Step 3 too, I am an IMG, I have GC, have done almost 2 yrs of IM residency in the US.
Hope it helps and good luck!!!👍
Duke did this to me when I applied a few years ago...not sure if they've straightened up their act since then.
I guess this is one of the benefits of being a US Citizen IMG?
