At some point after you see them sending out invites and you haven't gotten one, which is specialty dependent. I wouldn't start thinking about sending e-mails, if you're going to do it at all, until at least mid-October. Later in the season (December) programs that haven't outright rejected you may be receptive to an e-mail confirming your interest if you'll be willing to take a slot that someone else has cancelled.

Generally if you haven't received a rejection email, then you're still in the game. Some programs have a "maybe" pile that they'll invite for an interview in case someone backs out.

Tip: Don't bother emailing chief residents if you haven't received an interview invite. When I was chief I kept getting emails about considering them for an interview. I deleted them right away. 1) It's not in my power and 2) We'll invite you when we'll invite you...or not.

thanks for the insight, I was also wondering last match I had couple interviews, is it okay for me to email the PC or PD and letting then know how I have my CV from last match or could this lead to an automatic rejection
