Somebody must have backed out of Westchester Valhalla program since they just emailed me for an interview. The case logs look lower than the previous year and on the fellowship council website all the contributing faculty have 0% next to them. Anybody have any ideas? Can message me if you don’t want to post

I have been to interviews where they only offered me one or two dates as opposed to the 3-4 options that people have written here. What does that mean, just curious? Sounds a little strange.

A lot of programs seem to only offer a couple dates. Just the program’s preference. Wouldn’t read too much into it.
 
I'm adding rejections I've gotten for those of you who are waiting to hear from programs not listed above... as there is maybe a chance you are still in the run.

Massachusetts: BIDMC, BWH

Oregon: Providence Portland

Quick question for those applying next year. Understand that applications go in dec-feb. Were you able to get programs your current year absite (pgy4) or were programs only able to review your prior years (pgy1-3)? Thanks!

You can update your scores in your app even after the deadline, so yes, if you update it they can see your PGY4 score. However, most programs send out invites by early Feb before the scores are in. Very few send invites in late Feb/Mar.

Did any of you get interviews at USC, Yale or Stanford?

I had one or two programs ask me casually how 4th year ABSITE went. One program asked me to email them my score. Other than that, ABSITE was not a huge topic of discussion (my scores ranged from average to well above average, for reference).
