Was this off WL or silent then A in April?
I contacted them I think in December and they said they're still reviewing applications. I don't recommend contacting them, they don't tell you anything you already don't know. They also don't accept update letters unfortunately
I don't want to be pessimistic but I don't like the odds of this. Most people in last year's thread who were ghosted for months got Rs at the end of the cycle
For what its worth, we did match people into Urology and Ophthalmology this year. Obviously, we still have the NRMP match coming up but I'll try and remember to report back here the "gist" of it.
If you had to make a list of the 7 most asked interview questions... expect at least 3 of them to come up. Other than that, know your primary application and practice talking about it.
And showing interest goes a long way! Read up on the school and what differentiates it from other schools.
I called and was told that if we interviewed and haven’t heard back, it means they still haven’t made a decision about us yet, and all that we could do is continue waiting. Who knows what that really means, but based on previous years threads, it doesn’t seem positive.
Someone please come sew my breaking heart
it’s been a stressful few weeks waiting in silence. this is my top choice too. freaking out doesn’t even come close to how i feel honestly.cant speak for everyone but just prepare for chill and casual conversation. Mine felt a little tooo chill where it was just us talking about life and stuff but just expect a no curveball interview and all the faculty definitely do their best to make sure u feel ur best and not uncomfortable at all
glad to know im not the only one checking my email more than social media this week
I created this account to share this 1 story. I interviewed 2/4 *fingers crossed*. Two weeks after, I received a call from Colton, CA. On the phone was the advisor/moderator who led the interview day. I thought, this is it!!! I answered, "hello?" She replies, "check your outlook email," which was odd because I don't have outlook. I could hear her confusion as I explained. Ultimately, I received a phone call in error. Yes, she meant to dial my phone number, but I was not the correct person on the phone 🙄 It was soul-crushing. I thought to myself, what if this is the closest I get to an AI'm still hopeful, but talk about a roller coster of a phone call 😏
Yes, I have since learned lol
nothing :/
+1 nothing for me either
Curious to know if you do. When I did, the response they gave me was pretty arbitrary.
its a traditional open file interview. 1 on 1
From last year's thread it seems more like they pick favorite applicants and give A. Rest that they liked but not enough points for A will get WL. And.. seems like if you don't hear anything, most of time will end up being R at the end
Makes sense. I'm already content with the fact that I got rejected. I'm already gearing up for the next cycle. If I get a WL, I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Which is why I came up with the theory I did. I'm sure they give out some, but maybe they give out more towards the end.
Nice! Yeah, I am sure they've moved on from the rest of us 1/28 interviewees. Maybe there us a small chance of a WL for some of us later, but only if a lot of people decline their acceptances.
I don't care either way. I've already accepted it lol. Doesn't matter to me. I am preparing for next cycle either way.
Yeah I understand they may want to keep their options open, so they don't reject until the end. But saying something like your app is on hold seems like a respectful thing to do. Again, it isn't going to change what I am doing now moving forward, so whatever, but I understand a lot of people are still holding out hope for good news. They deserve some sort of correspondence, like you're saying.
I agree and that seems to be the case, unless they change their app process, though that is unlikely. Last year was a very weird app cycle for them considering they were interviewing up until may if im correct. So, unless theyre doing something like UCR, the post week 5 ghost is most likely an R in May unfortunately. I just dont see the logic in keeping us around that long
I think a current student further up in the threads mentioned some students hearing back later in the cycle and to not give up hope, but I tend to agree that there isn't any reason for the school to tie us up and say absolutely nothing. I think what upsets me the most is that this profession is held on the principles of accountability, yet there are a few schools that still choose to exercise silence towards some of their applicants for months on end, only to reject them in the end without any explanation or opportunity for discussion on how to improve. At least with schools like Yale and Duke, if you get interviewed early, you KNOW all their decisions won't be coming out until February regardless of when you interviewed. They are extremely transparent about that, but that's not the case here.
