Hey! I'm posting this for a friend who is applying into CT Surg and is looking to switch with you, but doesn't have a sdn account. Will PM you his e-mail ASAP.
 
Swap Request (stealing format from above)
Have: Maryland 1/10, USC 1/10
Requesting: Maryland 11/15 or USC 11/15.
 
I am sure I'm not the only one struggling a bit to make difficult decisions for interviews that overlap--eg between two solid I6 programs, solid gen surg vs. mediocre I6, reach I6 vs. more realistic I6, etc. The frustration of having to pick between interviews is not one that I anticipated would be so stressful. For the record, I also barely have above the "recommended" number of interviews (12) to maximize chances of matching, and I presume this number is much much higher for dual applicants who risk missing the cut from both sides by a margin.

Some of my concerns stemmed after stumbling upon this article: Falling Through the Cracks of the Match.

It is written by a seemingly very solid I6 applicant (with 13 I6 + 7 GS interviews) that failed to match last year. His trajectory has made me rethink prioritizing "top" programs and actually turning down some that I think I have no chance at if they fall on the same date as a more realistic option.

With about 30% of I6 programs still waiting to send out invites, I also find myself trying to forecast what dates will be offered so I know how to schedule accordingly. Despite many other specialties spacing out interviews on all days of the week, almost all invites I have gotten over the past month have offered the same small cohort of Thursday-Saturday dates, making scheduling very difficult.

Does anyone have reliable information on when some of these other programs plan to hold their interview day?
The only ones I know of are these:

Brigham - 1/4 (confirmed, directly from the email they sent after submission)
UPenn - 1/18 (not confirmed, but reliable source)

I also welcome any insight or advice on anything else mentioned above, either on this thread or by DM.

Unfortunately, your concerns are valid.

But do take some comfort in knowing that, unless there's a red flag or poison pill in your file, you'll be able to SOAP into prelim GS if the absolute worst happens. If you're competitive for I6 Thoracic, you'll be one of those standouts in the SOAP and be snapped up quickly.

I'd suggest you take stock of your positive and negative points and what networking and safeguards you can bring to bear. First, your safety nets: What about your home program? Do they offer I6 Thoracic? Will your program's categorical GS take you, even knowing they're a fallback? Can you fined out? Where did you do your aways and did you rock them? Who are your mentors and who do your mentors know? Where do they have connections, and are they willing to go to bat for you? How strong are your credentials relative to a very strong average for the field? How big a 'name' is your med school? (Enough to tip the scales between two otherwise relatively equal applicants?) And what kind of first impression do you generally make?

I'd prioritize all of your I6 interviews over GS interviews, since GS (via a SOAP prelim) is the worst that will happen for you. You can SOAP into GS if needed, but I6 is a one-shot (or postpone graduation) deal. The toughest calls will be 'dream' I6 versus 'good' I6. (I don't envy you those calls.)

Best of luck to you --

I am sure I'm not the only one struggling a bit to make difficult decisions for interviews that overlap--eg between two solid I6 programs, solid gen surg vs. mediocre I6, reach I6 vs. more realistic I6, etc. The frustration of having to pick between interviews is not one that I anticipated would be so stressful. For the record, I also barely have above the "recommended" number of interviews (12) to maximize chances of matching, and I presume this number is much much higher for dual applicants who risk missing the cut from both sides by a margin.

Some of my concerns stemmed after stumbling upon this article: Falling Through the Cracks of the Match.

It is written by a seemingly very solid I6 applicant (with 13 I6 + 7 GS interviews) that failed to match last year. His trajectory has made me rethink prioritizing "top" programs and actually turning down some that I think I have no chance at if they fall on the same date as a more realistic option.

With about 30% of I6 programs still waiting to send out invites, I also find myself trying to forecast what dates will be offered so I know how to schedule accordingly. Despite many other specialties spacing out interviews on all days of the week, almost all invites I have gotten over the past month have offered the same small cohort of Thursday-Saturday dates, making scheduling very difficult.

Does anyone have reliable information on when some of these other programs plan to hold their interview day?
The only ones I know of are these:

Brigham - 1/4 (confirmed, directly from the email they sent after submission)
UPenn - 1/18 (not confirmed, but reliable source)

I also welcome any insight or advice on anything else mentioned above, either on this thread or by DM.

As someone who doesn’t have an I6 program at their home institution, I’ve done a lot of research in what programs have a heavy number of internal applicants. I’m concerned about how many spots are “actually available” in the match, and what programs already have a locked in home applicant.

From what I’ve heard:

UVA: 1 internal who may be doing general surgery
Columbia: 1 strong internal, another taking a gap year to strengthen their.
Stanford: 0 internals
Brigham: 1 internal
Northwestern: 2 internals
Michigan: 2 internals
Mt. Sinai: 1 internal who took a gap year and spent over 4 months on the cardiac service.
Brigham: 1 internal
Emory: 0 internal
Maryland: 2 internals, with ties to Pittsburgh, Michigan, Stanford, and NYU
Upenn: 1 internal at least, possibly more
USC: 2 internals, maybe more. Also heard the volume has been pouched by UCLA and Cedars-Sinai since the sexual harassment scandal has put all residencies there on probation.
Yale: 1 internal

In addition, there are 2 big legacy applicants this year. One associated with Upenn and one with michigan.

It’s just a hard year to be an I6 applicant. I hope this info will help you choose what interviews to prioritize. Good luck everyone!

Hey, I need Kentucky 12/6. If I get Kentucky 12/6, I can give you Maryland 12/6.

Have: Kentucky 1/11, Maryland 12/6

Need: Kentucky 12/6

*Situation* I am couples matching with my wife who is doing general surgery.

Also, is there like an online datasheet on everyone's perceptions/feedback on I6 programs from their interviews?

And OP22, I have the same frustrations about the interviewing process.

So, if I can ask a candid question—how many interviews do applicants have at this point? I’m having a hard time figuring out what’s average for I6 applicants and where I realistically stand in the lineup. Since so little is published about our cohort I’m trying to figure out what my chances of matching into I6 will be.

I applied to 19 I6's and have heard back from 16 places thus far. 10 interview invites, 1 waitlist, and 5 rejections. Currently have six I6 interviews scheduled (because of date conflicts, etc.) with several more waitlisted spots.

Seems like each year gets tougher. 7 interview invites so far. You heard anything about NYUs program?

I’d love to keep Kentucky too so if anyone reading this has 1/11 and would be willing to trade for 12/6 I’d be eternally grateful and will buy you drinks and chipotle.

Applied to 20 I6 programs, 9 invites, 7 scheduled due to 2 conflicts. 3 programs have officially sent rejections. According to this list, waiting to hear from 3 more.
 
I applied to all of the I6 programs. 19 interview offers, I have 16 scheduled due to time conflicts. I will have to miss a couple dinners due to tight scheduling.
 
Applied to 23 I6 programs, 13 invites, Scheduled 10, 2 official rejections, 3 programs pending.
