Sorry to hear. Was this post or pre interview?

Pre. I wasn't expecting anything from this school since they wouldn't take my bio lab prereq. Just kinda was in for the lols at this point even though my stats were above average.
 
So BCOM says 100% match but 10 students were transitional year, doesn't that mean they did not really match?
 
Interview Invite just now!

Have you scheduled yours yet? I have to wait until I get home because I’m at work and don’t have my portal login info. Do you mind sharing if the dates are this month or booked further out?
 
Been complete since like the first 2 weeks of when submissions were allowed. Haven’t heard back for over 3+ months now..this is getting tough to handle.
I only got called for an interview invite in December after submitting in Aug 25 last year. Don't worry too much. Then my interview was Jan, then I got waitlisted a few weeks after, then accepted in July. This is stressful, but don't drive yourself crazy.

No, transitional year is a required intern year before starting the residency you matched into (eg gas, derm,DR, Ophtho etc)

I see, is this a common trend with residencies? Or only if you are not qualified enough? Or if the program is prestigious? what is the rhyme/rhythm to that?
 
I remember hearing during the interview day on 10/12 that we should hear back by today. Does anyone who's been accepted know the time of day they got the email?

I interviewed on 10/02 and got the email on 10/15 at 2:00pm ish PST. If I recall correctly the people that interviewed on Monday of that week got their email like the day before or the same day I got my email. Best advice is patience. I hope you get that A 🙂
 
II! Never got an App complete email, secondary completed early August. just fyi, apparently you may not get that complete email!
 
Anyone else from the 10/12 interview waiting on a decision? I know they said we would find out on 10/23 but I never heard back. I saw that they have been delayed before, I’m trying to make sure I didn’t miss something.

I’m in the same position as you, I could’ve sworn they told us we would’ve heard by last Friday. How far back you think they are?
