Yeah, they told me I was complete and under review lol
Sorry if this response is way overdue! Yes there’s tons of research opportunities! To the point that LSU hosts its own summer research programs that you can apply for so that you get paid + run your own project. It’s also worth mentioning (I didn’t know this until applying through ERAS for residency) that presenting a poster is equal in weight as getting publication, and LSU also takes care of you for that as well. We host our own “Poster day” so that all researching students get a chance to design and print their poster of their project and present it to other students. It’s awesome considering how hard it is to apply nationally for a poster presentation so it’s good to have one in-house to tack that onto your resume .
Current M4. There are plenty of research opportunities, and folks have no issue getting into competitive residencies.
Thank you so much for this response! I’m feeling more and more confident every day that I’ll commit to LSU
Should be at the very end of January. And then the advocacy meeting for everyone who is NFA’d will be mid February
Their website says they interview through April
I know this doesn’t super help but it was a very relaxed interview!
104!
idk about interviews but they meet again this week to send out acceptances or rejections
From what I gathered it's not just your three interviewers voting, it's the entire committee. They basically put your picture up and all talk about you lol. They made it sound like a lot of people get NFA'd I guess because they aren't quite ready to make a decision.
Mid to late Feb. is all I was told!
Same boat. Maybe it’s just my experience but the oos public schools have almost unanimously been silent. I’ve got like 7 I haven’t heard anything from. Scared they are just silent rejections as time stretches on.
I had a friend interview in March last year and didn’t find out til like late feb about the interview so i think they still are. I don’t believe they conduct any interviews during February because they have the advocacy meeting for those of us who are NFA’d. Once they make those decisions it sounds like they send out more interviews.
I did not receive an interview invite until late February last year! Don't give up hope!
When did you get an interview invite and when were you under review? And stats
I remember when I scheduled my interview there were only dates available in January and March. They do have the first advocacy meeting for everyone on NFA in February so maybe that’s why. Or maybe they are just taking a Mardi Gras break lol
I don't know. I was NFA'd today. I received my letter in the mail. I would also like to know.
I saw people comment below but the reason they don’t do interviews in Feb is to go over the NFA list at the advocacy meeting and send out a large amount of acceptances out of that. They then resume in March once they have a better idea of how many spots and such they have
They said mid to late February. It’s Thursday maybe someone could call and ask. For some reason I thought someone said February 19th which is a Friday but I’m not totally sure.
You can still stay on the NFA list after the big meeting unfortunately. Happened to me a few cycles ago when I interviewed in Jan
Any idea how many interview dates remain?
I actually didn't look at the entire list because I was keen on scheduling asap, but there were plenty of dates to choose from. From memory, I want to say a majority of the M, T, and Ws in March were available.
Congrats! what was your complete date?
I’m IS and had dates starting from March 8th.
Complete on 08/20. "Complete and under active consideration" email received on 08/31. I've been waiting a while! haha
