I have not received a single interview in more than a week but more than half a dozen rejections..
It doesnt look like there are going to be any more interviews. I wonder why people say that ivs keep coming till March. 😕
 
Did anyone hear from suny or other programs in NYC. When do they usually start reviewing?

I have the same question.. In addition, I have also not heard back from Mayo Rochester and Yale. Has anybody received rejections from these 3 programs?
thanks
 
yesterday i noticed in ERAS under progs applied but I rechecked today and I dont see any mention of that so I guess it was a technical glitch😀

CCF is still sending out interviews. They have 5 interview dates, 15 candidates each, and they send out invites in batches. They have 13-14 slots so they invite about 75 people.

I just got back from CCF. It is an amazing place.
 
I guess there is somehow some confusion. People keep IM'ing me regarding this post, so let me be clear... I WAS JUST KIDDING. I made this entire post up to be funny. I went through all this last year. I just posted this to lighten the mood a little for you kiddos.

In my very personal opinion, all of the above programs are similar, I don't think any of them significantly stands out in front of the others. J1 is a curse, and I would definitely go for H-1-offering programs.
