Has Anyone Else Not Started Interviewing Yet?

I'm getting a little tense because I don't start interviewing for another week or so. Meanwhile, it seems that most of my friends are almost done with interviews. Is it common to be done in December? Anyone else not starting to interview until late December/early January? I know there's a paper out there that states that when you interview doesn't affect match status, but I'm getting a bit nervous here! Looking back on it, I wish I had scheduled everything a little earlier.

I'm not starting until January, except for the interviews I did on visiting rotations. I am taking all of January off for interviews. This worked really well for me because it meant that I was able to do an additional visiting rotation at a place I am really excited about during December, when almost no-one is still rotating. Of course, it means that I won't have the super chill 4th year no classes during the last month thing, but that doesn't really matter to me. And I think you're right that it doesn't matter when you interview. Some people like to just get the process over with, and others would rather spread it out and go Nov through Jan. It's whatever works with your schedule and your preferences.

Why are you worried, looks like you got interviews with the big dogs in North Carolina???

I'm more anxious than worried. I'm just sitting at home when everyone else is interviewing! I've got my first one at the end of next week, so I'll chill out and enjoy the ride!
