Cinci today ... isn't it funny. I heard from CHOP a month ago or so ... but still nothing from Vandy, Duke, Hopkins.

lovebands -- i don't know if columbia has sent out most of their invitations but i wanted to at least provide you with the dates i got in my invitation:
"We are interviewing on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from mid- November through January 2007". I have booked an interview but will probably cancel it since I don't really want to move to NYC so there should be at least one more interview going out🙂

I hear people on the random rejections. I got interviews from both CHOP and Hopkins but was rejected by UChicago and will probably be rejected from UIllinois-Chicago since I haven't heard from them but most people seem to have by this point. Ah well...
First rejection today ... Northwestern.
Thanks dat10 ... still crossing my fingers for Vandy and Hopkins ...
Rejection from Vandy today🙁 ... I'm really bummed ...
?!?! Rejection here too
guess they must be on a schedule. oh well, still hoping for DC & Duke...anyone heard from stanford recently (good or bad)? still waiting to hear from them... ugh... i can't wait until i can stop being an obsessive-compulsive email checker!
I just heard from Stanford last friday so don't give up hope. Can anyone tell me more info about the UCSF program? How people like it, etc? I cannot get my Stanford and UCSF interview scheduled together and might not have the budget to do both flights.
Just got the rejection from Colorado, one of my top choices. I'm so sad. Looks like me and Denver will never be.
(self-rationalization: whatever! I've driven across the country multiple times before, and Denver is in the middle of friggin' NOWHERE!)

Hold today from Hopkins.
Dallas Children's also recommended that girls do not wear a suit as well. However, my friend interviewed there and she was the only one (out of all the girls and guys) that was not wearing a suit!! So I was thinking I would play it safe and just wear a suit.
Anyone else who has interviewed there already have any more advice??

I haven't been there yet, but I also liked how it said don't wear 3 inch heels. Seemed like an odd thing to put in an interview invite.....figures everyone would wear the suit anyhow.
I'll have to double check but I'm pretty sure U Chicago said no suits as well. I really think that I'll probably take both places up on the offer not to wear one... I have other, more comfortable yet still professional clothes that I can wear, and I figure they can't really hold it against you if you don't wear one when they said not to. However, if the programs are just doing it as some sort of weird test (which I doubt), then I don't really want to go there anyway.
just my 2c

So, the interviewees have mostly been wearing suits, ties and coats, and the girls have been wearing suits too. However, I have seen one or two guys and girls without a suit coat.
I have been working there for the last month, so I have seen several interviewees come through.

When they tell you business casual at University of Chicago, don't worry, they really mean it. When I was there, about 1/2 the people wore suits, have wore nice slacks and a sweater or button down shirt (girls). I think guys would be fine without the jacket. They are a very friendly program and will not hold it against you if you do not wear a suit. That said, if the only thing you feel comfortable in is a suit, that is also fine. They just want you to be comfortable. Best of luck to all of you on the interview trail!

Hey guys,
Interviewing at the county program @ USC tomorrow. Wondering if anyone could give me a heads up on the basics? I've seen the schedule but parking, time finishes up etc? Thanks

I got an invite on the 8th of this month to UCLA-TriCampus (Mattel). I can tell you that their interviews are basically Tues, Thurs and Saturday with one Wednesday per month (like in the middle of the month). Hope that helps; good luck!!
i heard from ucsf last week...coincidentally, within 24 hr of me writing to 'express my continued interest' in the program. first time i'd done something like that, but i guess it helped me!!

impressive.
dude (or dudette) this is an insane amount of programs u applied to...i would have to take out another loan to interview at all these places...geez
boots and a cowboy hat baby! LOL! j/k
LOL! i've made the drive from Denver and SoCal and let me tell u...NOTHING in between. well a few towns in between and Salt Lake slightly up north but for the most part...middle america is empty space
i applied late into pediatrics and have yet to recieve any interview invites coincidentally i hate you all...lol j/k
Got an invite from Mass Gen the day before Thanksgiving.
It feels like it's getting kind of late in the invite season for peds, but looking at prior year's threads, I guess invites can trickle in for awhile...
Anyone else got schools hanging out there? I've heard nada from OHSU and UCSF (and still on hold for CHOP, but that's ok fine with me), but other than that I've heard something from everyone. Anyone else in the same boat?

Pretty much the same news here. I've heard from everyone except CHOP (funny because Penn is my undergrad alma mater). At this point, it's ok since I've gotten the interviews I really need geographically and I'm thinkin turning down some because of time/finances. I'm leaving for my interviews tomorrow afternoon and I'll pretty much be on the road except for a brief break over Xmas. My official interview list now in the order of visit:
U Wisconsin
U Michigan
Rainbow Babies
Loyola
Rush
U Chicago
Northwestern/Children's Memorial
Mayo
Washington U/St Louis Children's
Indiana U
Stanford
Hopkins
Cancelled 3 other interviews. Waiting only from CHOP.
Good luck on interviews. I'll try to post interview impressions as I go.

To those of you interested in these programs, I'm dropping/cancelling my interviews at St. Chris, Tufts, and Brown today. Good luck! Here's to hoping we all get where we want to be... 😉
Medstudent99: I've gotta say, I agree with you. Interviews are weirdly tiring, it's expensive, and I still have rotations! I'm doing like 11, I think, and I feel like 11 is overkill. I mean, it's PEDS people! We're all going to match, and this isn't ophtho. We're not going to end up with our nineth choice...at least that's what I tell myself.

I'm couples matching with someone doing Radiology.....that is why I applied to all those places. Once we both got a decent amount of interviews at the same places I cancelled about half of those...
Is anyone else waiting to hear back from CHOK currently? What days do they interview during the week? Thanks
Can anyone tell me more about these programs: Duke, Northwestern, Cincinatti, and Indiana? I currently have too many interviews scheduled and I am trying to figure out which ones to cancel.

Here's my tally to date:
INTERVIEWS:
Michigan
Vanderbilt
U Chicago
Columbia
UCLA
UW - Seattle
Stanford
Children's Oakland
UCSF (heard from last Sunday)
U of Rochester
Boston Combined
Children's National
Hopkins
Mass Gen (heard from last week)
PERPETUAL HOLD:
CHOP
NADA:
Oregon (I probably should email/call them, huh. Oh well.)
REJECTIONS:
Colorado
CANCELLED:
A ton because I was neurotic and applied to way too many. I may cancel one or two more. Maybe Mass Gen? I couldn't get it in the same week as Boston Children's and would thus have to make 2 trips.

i have to say looking at this list, it appears entirely random who gets a shot at one place and not another.
the vast majority of people who have posted their interviews on here have gotten seattle, denver, and portland. i got rejected by all three of those places (bite poop, if you're reading), but got interviews at michigan, UCSF, and northwestern.
what's the deal?

Is the Colorado program really tough to get into? I see some people with some pretty impressive interviews that have gotten rejected from Colorado.
Just wondering.
