You think programs will send out invites before the holidays? Or should we expect after new years because I'm anxiously checking my email like I'm an MS4 again

Same here! I am not sure but I was looking at previous threads and it sounds like after the holidays. Feel free for anyone to comment about this
I only applied to a handful of programs (I was pretty selective given how strong the general market is right now), but have heard back from one program offering an interview invite. That being said, my home program doesn’t even start reviewing applications until January, so would expect to start hearing from more places then.
Same, 1 invitation here
Also curious to knowWhat program has invited for interviews this early?
Duke. Assuming since they have such a large class they probably need to reach out early to interview enough people to fill all the spots.What program has invited for interviews this early?
NYU!What program has invited for interviews this early?
For places requiring ite score reports (I.e. the pdf) if we took it intern year is everyone sending two pdfs - so one from intern year and CA1? Bc my intern year one was not good lol
I’ve been sending both
Our program didn’t even have my score report on file for intern year. Said they’d get it to me in a “couple weeks”…lolFor places requiring ite score reports (I.e. the pdf) if we took it intern year is everyone sending two pdfs - so one from intern year and CA1?

When did you send your app in? Our coverage is spotty too. Lots of call switching

did the same or less number of people applied this year?
Probably less, every year there is less people applying it seems. Every resident I know is doing general anesthesia
Bump, anyone have interviews?

Go to sfmatch.org and search the vacancies. Right now, it appears that at least 5 programs have open positions to start Summer 2024
monte sent out an invite and only offered 1 day on their thalamus calendar. good stuff 🙁
That's how it was at Nebraska a few years ago. They only offered one date and it was a date I was already interviewing at my home program. Told them I had to pass but would love the opportunity if they added any more dates.monte sent out an invite and only offered 1 day on their thalamus calendar. good stuff 🙁
MinnesotaAnyone hear anything this week?
Any idea of what the interviews will be like? Pretty laid back/focus on our apps and general career direction?

Emory today and Baylor also
Yea isn’t that standard for all SF match apps? They sent you an email because you were missing yours when you applied or what?You had to email it to them on top of it already being in the app?
When I was applying for fellowship, my program allowed me to use vacation days. Things got much easier when it turned to virtual interviews due to covid in the middle of the cycle, and I just scheduled them on post-call days. Given that it is all virtual now, hard to imagine not being able to fit 15 interviews in a span of 3 months between post-call days and a few vacation days sprinkled in.How are you guys managing interviews with work? Is your program letting you take those days off? What if you have like 15 interviews, how would you approach your PD about that?
