I seemed to have stalled. Been at 7 interviews since Oct 5th.

1.Hi peeps,
Can anyone let me know how many elective rotations in Anesthesiology would be good enough to apply for Anesthesiology residency?
Also how important is research in Anesthesiology for match?
Good Luck for IVs.
Are you sure just one rotation would suffice?1.
Not very, except maybe at top programs.

Research I may agree with you. But just one rotation?? Are you sure?

Has anyone sent letters to programs in hopes of getting an interview invite? If so, how did you word it?

Could this be because you guys don't have posted Step 2 scores? They're one of the weird programs that require Step 2 scores for interviews (per AMA frieda)
Are you asking how many away rotations? Or how many total anesthesia rotations? I personally did like 4 months of anesthesia, but that was out of personal preference. Only 1 of those was an "away" rotation. Away rotations are definitely not necessary.Are you sure just one rotation would suffice?

What was the timeline of those 4? How many 3rd year and if/when during 4th year?Are you asking how many away rotations? Or how many total anesthesia rotations?

This season seems more competitive than was described by others in previous years. I will be interesting to see the numbers after match is over to gauge if the season was really more competitive. I suppose it could seem more competitive if applicants are on average applying to more places than in years past.
Most of my colleagues are getting lots of interviews with no away rotations. I got about 10 so far with one away in chronic pain in addition to the core rotation. I interviewed with several people who only did one. My home program director said away rotations are definitely not required.
You and me both. After this Friday I don’t expect any more interviews. Perhaps I will send status update requests next week.

If you don’t mind me asking, how many interviews do you have? I only have 3 right now. I’m so worried. Bot quite sure what’s wrong with my app.

MCW rejection today.
I'll be interested to see charting data for anesthesia this year- I am surprised at how poorly some of the candidates I know of are doing who look pretty good on paper. Still early, but I don't remember seeing this in years past.
Got an email from a program stating all their interview slots are full and they won't be sending out any more invites unless there are some openings. Does this translate to a waitlist or rejection?
They sent out a mass rejection to people who had got interviews as well. Don't buy it yet.
I guess this can be seen as a positive — the applicants can then keep or add an extra interview for their rank list?did NOT know post-interview pre-match day rejections were a thing! i figured if they didnt want you after an interviews then you just werent ranked, not e-rejected!
as an aside, ive seen that prelim invites are also starting to pick up some, if you guys are checkin for those (with my cautionary n=1 data).

Are post-interview prematch rejections common?
should i wear an costume to tonight's pre interview dinner. i don't want to be the only person without one
Got a few more invites since I last posted. I am now up to 5 interviews. Not feeling great about all this. I sent out some LOI a few days ago and hope to hear back soon. Any advice or suggestions? Getting pretty worried now.

Only thing I've gotten in a few weeks is two rejections.
Best of luck. My initial thoughts are to really focus on those 5 interviews. A lot of this seems out of our control. So, we have to make the best of what we have. I hope you hear back from those schools you sent LOIs to and that someone smarter than me can provide you with better advice on this.
So, a little worried about the advanced position possibility. I have one prelim medicine interview. What's the general route for this? Obvi I hope i just match categorical. Worst case scenario, do I add more programs or do I plan to SOAP?
Where are all the DO students at? Also, where is the spreadsheet that had everybody's STEP scores and interview numbers at? Can't seem to find it! Good luck!
