star22 said:Just out of curiosity, how many people are at the average interview session? For me, there were 16 interviewees (4 OR residents), so based on this, it seems they could get all of the interviews done in 10-12 weeks... not seven months. I know I should just be more patient, but it just feels like the committee could/should be done by now.
I agree completely. I have an especially difficult problem b/c my top choice other than OHSU is Case Western and they start on July 10. From talking with a couple friends in last years entering class, I found out that some people didn't hear anything until AUGUST! If that happened to me, I'd already be a month into classes at Case. Given how they do things, at the very least, I think they should comply with the AAMC guidelines and get things pretty well wrapped up by the end of March, but they didn't ask me.
My interview group had 4 people in it. All Oregon residents. I have no clue what average would be: (4+16)/2 = 10? That would take them about 40 days of interviews or 13 weeks if they interview 3 days a week. The average day must have fewer than 10. Maybe they don't interview 3 days a week? Who knows. As far as I know, I've been waiting longer than anyone, so I have bragging rights!
