I submitted around 2pm EST yesterday, so not sure. Hopefully it's instantaneous for those that submit tonight.

For those applying to TYs: How competitive are the TYs on the coasts? particularly Cali/NYC/Boston? Assuming you're a good applicant (>250 Step), mostly honors, good letters etc. Some posts on sdn make it seem like its almost impossible no matter how strong your application is!
yup. Its been really hard finding programs that match my requirements. Looking for Low COL, cheaper real estate with university programs, with good school districts close by. Essentially impossible. I settled on 32 programs.

NGL I added 3 more in states with 20+ programs because I missed a couple I was competitive for. (EM)
Same criteria, but a little more open to community programs. But I’m much less competitive than you. Went for 48.

Last year i added programs AFTER transmission.
i will say that I am FM and applied to 20 too many programs, at least.
I feel much better.

Jw, how many did you apply to?
Is there actually a definitive difference in submitting before 9am today vs 12pm? (do PDs download apps or is it rolling, always seems to be varying answers)
Deciding whether to rush to finalize some PS changes or submit in a couple hours if I need to

I would have read that to mean real-time starting Oct. 22? But I guess I care less about the time stamp and more about whether the apps are "downloaded" at 9 am and if we'll miss the boat if we submit at 11 or 12
I think the catch here is that at 9 AM they get a dump of apps submitted prior to 10/21 9 AM and that dump of apps will probably be a ton of applications and slow down transmission of those apps who are submitted after 9 AM. So while yours may be time stamped at 10 AM on 10/21, they might not be able to download it until later than that. All of this is unverified of course, I think that's why the consensus is to always submit as early as you can to avoid any server slow downs.
If I was in your shoes, I'd submit it now. Proof read one more time and submit it. I don't think any tweaks to the PS will be worth not being part of the first wave of applications.
46. I got 32 interviews. It was indeed overkill.
How soon after Sept. 15 did you start getting invites last year? Should we reasonably expect any today, or more like within a week or so?

ONE MINUTE
Yeah I guess I should have asked how soon after the MSPE release. Here's to hoping they start rolling in soon!
According to my school, the slots are already taken before it hits your inbox so you'd might as well just quit now lol. In all seriousness, I also wonder how true the advice is to accept immediately
Via email?
ANY INTERVIEWS YET!? jk congrats all 🙂
That's rude lol. At least they let you know. If this is anything like med school applications, then I fully expect to be ghosted by numerous programs without any word
I expect most programs to do this to me honestly.

11 minutes holy **** they’re savage. That’s gotta be a record. TBH I didn’t think programs even bothered sending out rejections.

I got one on Sept 15th actually
Depends on the program. Some send out a ton at once and if you miss the boat, you’re on a waitlist.
Wow, i didnt even know we are supposed to check the ERAS message center. Jesus. Good Luck. Atleast this way you know where you stand with that program, better than being ghosted IMO.
You definitely need to. Many of my IVs came through that way and schedule through ERAS as well
But you would get an email notification if there was something there I’m assuming?

I didn't get email notifications for my secondaries!
Yes.
My emails come like 30 minutes after messages show up in my eras message center. Not sure how it works for everyone else. Guess i need to constantly refresh eras?
Was your message center notification at the same time stamp as your email notification? Trying to see if I should be neurotically checking the message center. Thanks.

Same, I got an email almost 2 hours after the message popped up in the ERAS message center. I'm guessing its just a system overload issue. But still, if I get an interview, I don't wanna be almost 2 hours late because I didn't get an email...
Casper LOL thats funny
put them on blast so other people dont waste money.
I know that it is early but it feels like such a long time already.

i have never related so much to a statement
was it a program you've applied to before? that could be the reason for getting a rejection almost immediately
