where?
I called Brigham last week, they said they're still in the middle of reviewing the applications. Don't they usually send invitations later than other programs??Anyone emailed/called some top/neartop tier schools and had luck w/ getting interviews? I'm wondering if it is even worth sending them an email... (like brigham)

And anybody little concerned about the number of prelim interviews? Any idea how many is safe to match??
has anyone who has called programs spoken to UF? I did an away there and still haven't heard anything, just wondering if they have filled their dates or not. I'll call tomorrow if no one has spoken to them

Wondering this as well. Anyone have any experience with a call vs email being more/less successful?
did you end up calling UF??
unfortunately just got the prototypical response "we are still sorting through applications at this point". Not sure what to make of it but like others said, it really didn't get me anywhere
ya i rotated there too and no interview invite. they didnt even respond to my email. i guess they didnt like me as an applicant. Its all good though, i guess it wasnt meant to be.
I would offer my encouragement to those who havent gotten a lot of invites yet. I don't think all the invitation are sent out yet, i would say only 50-70% of invites have been sent, i still think invites are gonna be sent out through november and december. There were people who even got invites in January (check last year's thread). And i got 2 invites this week, so stay positive!!!
This is encouraging. Can you say where you got the 2 invites this week?
Anyone know chances of getting an interview later off a waitlist? Not sure if good news or bad news

I'm going to hold on to those words for a couple more weeks and then probably return to my current state of worrying haha
Got an invite from Temple at 10:45 p.m. last night. Definitely the latest in the day one has come through...
Case/UH and Maine Medical Ctr came through Thalamus today (which is a really bizarre scheduling program). Case had 1 open date left, but MMC must have just sent out their first invites today, or very recently, because all the dates were wide open.

I got invites at UF Jacksonville (not going), OHSU (wait list), and Mayo Jacksonville (rotating there now) this week. And I was wait listed at MUSC and got off of that one last week, so there is hope! Still haven't heard from 2/3 of the places I applied...
They gave me my second choice date. No idea beyond that. Sorry!Hey painmd87, do you know if all Temple interview slots have been filled?
Must've filled really quick because thats where I got my waitlist offer from (maine)
If you don't mind me asking...why arent you going to UF Jacksonviille?
From the residents and attendings I have been talking to, not a very good program in terms of education or prestige... and essentially all IMGs, so there is a reason they aren't getting US grads. May be great for some, but doesn't sound like the type of program I want to attend... plus I have already booked my "maximum allowed time off for interviews" for the month.
These are the kinds of things you should be writing down so you remember them when it comes time to make your rank list in February.Does it really take Rush 7 days to respond to give you your interview date?? Thanks very long since most have to book a flight......I was wondering if anyone tried calling them to ask?
Thats an excellent point! Didn't think of that til you said itThese are the kinds of things you should be writing down so you remember them when it comes time to make your rank list in February.
I've heard some touchy things about Wake lately with regards to their financial situation, that several faculty had been forced into early retirement, their chair was recently fired, etc. I was curious if anyone had any thoughts on this or if any of your PDs had commented on this at all or if this was going to influence anyone's decision to interview or rank the program.

I called a program yesterday afternoon. Got an invite that evening from them. Calling DOES help. I got the Duke rejection too... Can't get 'em all! I honestly prefer to hear back, rejection or invite, versus not hear anything at all... at least I KNOW they saw my application and where I stand. But thats just me... I hate waiting and the unknown.
what is up with this dry spell
What is your dialogue like with these schools? Are you calling the program coordinator and asking for an interview? Just curious, thanks.
