So Far,

Interview: Texas A&M
Rejections: North Western
Alternate: UVA, Bufffalo University

What does Alternate mean: does that mean that you are waitlisted?

 

[punk]

- SUNY buffalo
- Mayo- AZ

for all members, can you please mention, where are you doing ur residency and if you have extra qualification..like PhD or research...I did my residency at UT Memphis.. ....and yes what do you mean by alternate ?

I have heard that UT Memphis fills its slots with its own residents only, is that true

 

[doctor4u]

I am not sure about these days

 

[pakkad26]

Alternate means you may consider as wait listed. If some of the initial interview candidates do not reply to interview by time then they would consider the next set of candidate in list.

Is February still when the bulk of the responses come from the programs?
So far, any idea what these program directors are looking for? Seem a great divide in the credentials and the interviews of candidates.

For what it's worth, I ended up w/ a fair number of interviews last year (16 invites of 38 apps), but I didn't hear from anyone (except home program) till jan 29 or so, and the bulk were in February (and mid-Feb at that) w/ some invites not coming in until mid-March. Keep your heads up, and goodluck!
