Thought I would get this thread started for this year. I feel that at the least it helps everyone to understand when each program is making these decisions since they are kind of all over the place.

Is UCLA still out of match this year? Does anyone know when they will be giving out offers if they are not in the match (website says October)? Does anyone know when they gave out offers last year?

So I've only seen 1 place I applied to on the lists so far, so I'm not terribly nervous (then again, that one place is one at which I would love to interview). But does anyone know when most places start sending out interviews?

Based on last year it looks like a lot of the interviews were being sent out around the end of May and early June.

Is anyone else having a problem confirming their applications are complete? I have been trying to follow up with programs to make sure that LOR made it there and the contact people are not responding back via email or phone messages.

Yea some are hard to get a hold of while some are outright arrogant. Some are nice enough to send you "application complete" emails. The process sucks.

Heard from one of the programs that the interest for pain positions dropped sharply this year. I wonder why.

Would anyone be interested in switching an interview date for UAB from the first offered interview date to the last offered date? (May to July?) Please PM me if so.
 
To people who received interviews, when did you apply to those programs. I have applied early April. Haven't heard anything back from programs.

how is the competition for pain this year? is it getting tougher or easing up because of the reimbursement issues? applied early in march but no iv's so far..i m an img though who needs a visa...
 
I considered myself a fairly competitive applicant. I'm board certified with a few years into private practice, I had excellent ITE scores, and a good overall performance in residency. My usmle board scores were around average, and my med school performance left a lot to be desired. Still I considered myself a pretty decent applicant. I sent most of my stuff out mid March. Still no interviews. I applied to mostly mid tier with some upper tier programs and one or two lower tier. 23 total programs. I'm beginning to worry. Hopefully this post helps someone. Or someone can set my mind at ease. Applying and not hearing back just sucks. Good luck to you guys.
 
I heard from our institution pain program director that most programs start reviewing the apps in mid May. So its early to freak out.
 
Last year, I started getting invitations on the second week of May. Bulk of the invites were in late May and June.

I am pretty impressed by these long lists of interview invites. I only have 8 so far. Do you guys think that is enough to match? Hard to know since there is no match stats for pain. Btw, do you guys plan on doing all or even half of those interviews?
