This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Just wanted to add a few invites that I haven't seen posted:
UMDNJ-RWJ (email mid Feb)
Drexel (email this week)
Montefiore/Bronx Lebannon (email this week)

axc008, I also got Jefferson (email earlier this week) but some people posted this last week

Anyone hear (good or bad) from NYU, Albert Einstein (NY), Temple, or Columbia???
Einstein is apparently quite behind, my PD said
 
I heard from Montefiore (main program) by snail mail in last wk. of February . . . don't know about the 10 other "Albert Einstein's" in NY . . . there's also one in Philly that I have not heard about

Has anyone heard from Jackson Memorial in Miami?
 
If someone has interviewed at these places.

University of Louisville, KY
University of Oklahoma, OK
University of CT, Farmington

looks like things are slowing down a bit, but . . .

rejection from Jefferson
interview invitation from Cal Pacific
still waiting for Stanford, Cedars, Scripps

btw, not to spread any vicious rumors or anything, but has anybody heard anything about the USC (Southern Cal) program? just talking to people on the interview circuit, it sounds like they might be in trouble. wanted to see if anybody had any info.
 
Don't know about USC. Has anyone actually heard from Stanford?
 
Re USC I heard that they were having an issue with their door to baloon times for STEMI, but I haven't heard anything specifcially about their training program.

Someone earlier posted that Stanford already had their first interview day, but don't know if they've offered interviews to external applicants. Same with mayo, anybody know if they've offered interviews to external applicants?
 
Re: Mayo, I know a couple colleagues (external applicants) who have gone for interviews in the past few weeks.
 
Does anyone know about similar issues with Baylor CM ? I heard that they are splitting from St. Luke's and the best attendings are all fleeing! Apparently they had a similar exodus when they split from Methodist too. Any info appreciated

UT Memphis sent out invites long ago may be a month ago via snail mail, though have heard that the PD is very malignant and AMGS' hate this program and rest assured that most of my AMG friends took this program out of their rank list last year since they percieved the interview process itself as malignant.

Anybody knows about U Connecticut Farmington program??

Do they take outsiders or only inside from the program?

Please share the info you know, will be help full, many thanks.
 
Has anyone actually got rejected from UNC or Wake Forest? I never heard anything from these programs, and assume it is very unlikely to get an interview, but just curious if they actually sent out rejections.
 
Any advise from candidates who got IVs this year??? Any advice for IMG/FMg would be highly appreciated and help me plan for the next year.

10 interview offers, going on 8...saw recent stats from match last year, and of those who matched in cardiology, the average number of interviews applicants went on was ~ 7.
 
Where do you guys get statistics for %match for IMG, US citizens, how many interviews gone to etc? So far all I know is the NRMP stats which are not too informative. THanks!
 
Agree NRMP stats not very information.
Show you what % of spots last year were filled by IMG's, DO, Us allopathic grads, etc. but this doesn't tell anything about the % of folks who match, which is what we all wanna know!
 
Let me start this one for people applying this year. Plz post your credentials and the number of programs you will be applying to.

Myself R2 at a Univ Program, a FMG, good scores, 7 pubs (unrelated to cards), plan to apply to 70-80 programs
