Cleveland Clinic, Rush, Baystate, Dartmouth (9/27) ... good day today
 
Interview offer from UMASS (9/27) via Email.

Got the axe from Cleveland Clinic today via Email.
 
Cleveland Clinic, Rush... Also a good day. I was starting to get worried. It had been 2+ weeks since I heard from any program.
 
Okay. So I now have two pre-lim interviews set up, but I'm worried. I haven't recieved any Anesthesia interviews yet, which is not TOO concerning since it's only been one week since I applied. Here's my issue: What happens if I keep getting and scheduling these pre-lim offers and then LATER I start getting anesthesia interviews and the dates CONFLICT (i.e. interview date between pre-lim/transitional and anesthesia)?? I mean, I'm just picking dates that sound okay to me right now, but I'm basically shooting in the dark.

Anyone know any strategies to avoid conflicts?
 
Rush and Cleveland Clinic Today! Not bad for a guy with less than average look and a lisp.

Pretty Happy since I dont have a Gas LOR in yet

Good luck to all

Must have been the day for the Clinic to send out invites....

MY FIRST ONE...MY FIRST ONE!!! 😀 WOOHOO!

Cleveland Clinic, 9/27 by email.

Seth, give a shout-out when you have a confirmed date. If we are there the same day, perhaps we can swap notes on stuff.

Same here... got my first interview from the cleveland clinic. sent in my application on 9/20. my transcript was downloaded on 9/24. 2/3 LoR's in.
 
Congrats on all the interviews...esp those with their first!!!

This has been a good day for all of us.
 
Joe,

I scheduled Cleveland Clinic for 11/22, so I can hit that on the way back from Michigan (11/20). Got lucky with Michigan paying for 2 nights hotel. 🙂

Look forward to seeing you and anybody else on the interview trail. Good to meet all you fellow SDNers. I will be at Hopkins 11/29, UTSW 1/14. Holding off on scheduling Rush until I see what else I can consolidate into 1 trip. Sounds like most people had a great day yesterday. Let's get some more. 👍

yes, 3 letters in
 
u of r 9/28
as for Cornell I had 1 of 2 LOR in
peace

It's a good idea to request an extra LOR or even 2. Sometimes letters that you request don't get done for a couple of months and that really holds things up. The doc may be really busy or they may not really want to write a letter for you. One that I requested didn't get written until December. If I hadn't had a backup it might have hurt my application. A number of my friends had this happen as well. You goal should be to have your part of the application (CAF, personal statement, etc) done now and all your letters in my the time the Dean's letter comes out.
 
U Rochester also 7/29

Congrats to everyone and continued good luck!
 
Lesson learned....

When a big-name program sends you an interview invitation, schedule it IMMEDIATELY!! I had to wait exactly 3 days in an effort to schedule my other Cleveland residency option (Case Western...and they never responded), and then was told by CCF that ALL their original dates had been filled. 🙁

So, it looks like I'm relegated to a date in January...<sigh>.

Drat!

Invitation to Wake Forest today by regular mail (9/30)

University of Rochester yesterday via email (9/29)


So far:

1. ST Louis University....already did the interview. Went to the Hard Rock Cafe the night before and had a good time. Totally laid back program with a cush transitional. Great for Peds. Light on OB. Interview was awesome. Excellent simulator/difficult airway lab. Attendings were VERY easy to talk to. Low cost of living and plenty of things to do with the family. I was pleasently surprised. May actually be too laid back. Research is OK/average. Residents seemed Very happy. Every resident I talked to finished or will finish their required #'s by end of second year. Bottom line...very clinically orientated and work around 70 hours a week. PM me if you have any questions.

2. University of Florida
3. Umass
4. U of Rochester
5. Wake Forest
6. UCONN
7. Univ of Louisville

Rejected from John Hopkins and Cleveland Clinic. 😡

Duke finally Downloads!! 5:00 P.M tonight (9/30)

Excited to hear about the invites.
 
I've been away for a while, but I'm currently sitting on Cornell, Emory, Hopkins. Since I'm gone, snail mail may have arrived from WF/UNC. (I hate snail mail places - I literally have no way to go back to NYC over the next few weeks to check my mail. Should probably just call the places and ask if I've been offered an interview). Another 3-4 prelim interviews.

Glad Duke finally downloaded the info, but what about UCSF? Still no download for me. Are there any other programs out there that still haven't downloaded, or is UCSF pulling up the rear?

Good luck. Let's hope today/next week bring good news for us all.
 
UCSF has had my stuff downloaded since early september...did you turn in your app early?

i haven't gotten interview invites from any prelim programs...is it because i don't have all my letters in? (3/4) 😕

Doubt it. I've gotten a few interview invites from Pre-lim/transitional programs even though NONE of my letters are in. On the otherhand, I've heard nothing from Anesthesia programs.
 
Interview #2
