Any IMGs in the list of those who were called for interviews? Just curious as to whether interviews come in waves for AMGs vs IMGs.

I was invited to interview at the Cook County/Rush University Primary Care track program. I applied to several other primary care tracks, but that's the only I've heard from.
Sidenote: Is it really necessary that thread participants post just to say they've been invited to a program that is already listed? Doing so, without adding a new program to the list, will make this thread needlessly redundant and long. Does anyone feel similarly?
Anybody hear back from any primary care track programs?
Congrats to everyone who has netted interviews so far! May the odds be in your favor!
I see there have been a few california invitations for interview. Do california schools tend to send most of theirs after MSPE is sent? It just seems like they are proportionately less active right now
Not sure if this is the best place to ask but wanted to know what people thought.
Re: BRIDGEPORT HOSPITAL Program in Connecticut (CT).
I was researching programs that I will be interviewing and noticed that this program is under ACGME PROBATION - listed on the ACGME Website. I called the program coordinator and was told that she no longer is employed there and that they have no comment on the probation status. My dean suggested that I kindly rescind my interview invite since I have 8 other interview invites at this time. Thoughts?

Yeah but apparently probation can be a good thing
But I've also heard of some other good programs being on probation, like UTSW. What are the implications of going to a program that is on probation?
I heard it from a friend who's an intern there. Why would you avoid it? Doesn't it just mean that whatever problems were going on they are now forced to fix?Out of curiosity, where are you finding this information? I went to this website (https://apps.acgme.org/ads/Public/Reports/Report/9) and saw only two IM programs under probation. Bridgeport's OB looks under probation, but haven't seen anything about IM. Haven't seen anything about UTSW. Personally, I would avoid a probationary IM program, but I'm not sure how relevant it is if a different residency is under probation.

+WashU (9/30) and UIC-chicago (9/28)
Also, for anyone else who got an interview invite from UIC- I responded with my preferences on Monday and they still haven't gotten back to me about which day I'm interviewing? Do they usually take a while?
I also responded on Monday and haven't heard anything.
Pretty sure it's only weekdays.Do any places offer weekend interviews or are all interviews on weekdays?
