Any interview invitations yet?
I've heard from a few - Jules Stein, Lindstrom, Tufts.
If you have applied in the past, when do most invites roll in?
Thanks.

 

[azzarah]

I have heard from Baylor, UTSW, MEEI, UCSF.

 

[Eye Doctor]

I've heard back from following places:

Interview invites:
MEEI via snail mail
UCLA, UCI, OHSU, Wilmer, Michigan, Devers(Dr. Terry), UWisconsin all via email

Rejections:
Minnesota eye consultants

Good luck to all!

 

[FutureOph123]

To add to the list, I have heard from Cincinatti, UIC, Utah, Wash U, Florida.

Has anyone heard from Duke? If not, does anyone know when they are giving invites? Their interview date is in 2 weeks. Thanks.

 

[azzarah]

I have not heard from Duke or BP.

 

[Eye Doctor]

I also have not heard back from Duke.

When did Utah send out invites?

 

[FutureOph123]

Utah sent out email invite on 9/14

 

[Eye Doctor]

Never mind about Utah.

Just got rejection via snail mail dated 9/13.

I guess they sent out all their rejections via mail and sent out interview invites via email the day after.

 

[kclear]

No word from Duke (but not keeping my hopes up given
my inevitable rejections at the other places listed).

Good luck all.....

 

[PBK]

Anyone hear from USC? Anyone know if USC is good?

 

[azzarah]

I heard from Wills. Probably someone else cancelled their interview so now I'm getting the interview offer.....

Still have not heard from BP or Duke

 

[Eye Doctor]

I heard back from:

UCSF via email - interview 10/27
Columbia via email - interview 10/8

 

[FutureOph123]

Rejected by Emory. :cry:

 

[kclear]

rejected from Emory, Utah, and UCSF (x2 - guess they really, really didn't want me).

 

[Eye Doctor]

Got rejection via snail mail from Emory.


Does anyone know anything about the cornea fellowship at Columbia? Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

 

[azzarah]

I cancelled the wills interview.
Still have not heard from BP or Duke. If I don't hear from Duke soon, I'm moving on....I have to buy my tickets and can't afford to buy expensive last minute tickets. Has anyone else heard from either program?

 

[FutureOph123]

USC- October 22
Oklahoma on November 4 or November 11

Any other offers people have heard from?

 

[Eye Doctor]

Heard from U of Iowa yesterday dates 10/26 and 10/27.

I got USC today too, do they only have 1 date offered?

Can anybody tell me pros/cons of USC vs. UC Irvine?

 

[Ciliary Body]

I heard back from Oklahoma yesterday.

Has anyone heard from UC-Davis, UCSD, Miami, Duke yet?


PS: What do you think that most programs are looking for as far as a cornea fellow? I would think strong cataract surgery letters, your residency program...But lately, I'm starting to think its quite random, or more based on something political like non-compete clauses and stuff. Is that me just being jaded?

PPS:
Seems like there are quite a few applicants this year! Good luck to all!

 

[amelie4i's]

How were you contacted by Iowa? Snail or email? I have an interest in staying in the midwest.

 

[Eye Doctor]

Iowa was by email

Heard from UCDavis via email also on 9/22. They conduct individual interviews.

I just heard from Wills via email for their interview on 10/9/10. I think they are giving me azzarah's cancelled interview. =P

 

[PBK]

Got interview invite for USC on 9/29 but can't seem to get in touch with their secretary by either phone or email to schedule the interview...

 

[FutureOph123]

Heard from Duke on 10/1 for an interview on November 20.

 

[azzarah]

Same here. Heard from Duke 10/1.
Anyone heard from BP?

 

[FutureOph123]

Has anybody heard from BP yet or know when they are planning on letting us know? Thanks.

Has anyone heard from Seedor's or Belmont's programs in nYC?
