Contacted by programs?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
From my experience, it seems more prevalent in Family Medicine than in other specialties!! I think they just want to get a feel for how highly you might rank them.
 
Yes, I've been contacted by 6 programs via e.mail, phone and/or letters. One program's PD has e.mailed me 8 times. He's a very nice guys, but it's getting hard to say the same thing in different ways since I'm not ranking them #1. I'll be glad when March 16th is finally here and all this is done with!
 
One place sent me this freaky-cool pen with a laser-pointer that shoots out the top...and there's a 128MB memory key in the pen barrel.

The thing's too huuuge to actually carry around. But it was pretty fun to get in the mail. I've been shooting the laser at the floor and getting my kids to chase the little red dot around.

I did end up ranking that program first, tho...although I like to think it's not because of the pen (data on the effects pens and other goodies have on doctor's prescribing habits NOTWITHSTANDING!).
