Thanks for the replies. Hope to finalize my app by this week end.
Congrats to BirthdayParty for the first IV in the forum 🙂

Nothing but a couple of emails telling when to expect for interview invitations.
thanks. Add Orlando 🙂
Congrats...Orlando , which hospital....?
I hate the wait...it is the worst part of the process...roughly how many programs did you guys apply to?
1st rejection. It hurts
Applied to 10 programs...have only heard from one so far (invite from Columbia)...🙂 Hoping to hear more soon but I know some programs don't send out invites until after the holidays
I got a rejection from Chapel Hill today too. But invites from Eastern Carolina and Univ Vermont. I think it's early. I heard most don't invite until after the holidays.
MD Anderson satellite

Same as everyone , 0 interviews , 0 rejections ( not counting one that I knew through an " insider" was going to be a rejection). The wait is a killer...I need to find something to keep me busy till they start sending out stuff..I am thinking PS3 move !🙂
Everybody chill. My program hasn't even downloaded apps yet. This is a great conversation to have in April.
Hi Folks,
I would really appreciate if you know which all programs really require 4 Letters to count application as complete...
One of my Professor is yet to write me a letter. He is just too busy. I do not want him to annoy by repeatedly reminding and also do not have any other professor to fill up the gap of one LOR I need quickly...
Many programs do not have real mention on their web sites as to how many letters they require. so any thoughts I would appreciate.
Thanks.

Is it just me or is it abnormally quiet compared to the past few years?? 1 rej, no IVs yet.
It's quite slow on this side as well. I am just sitting and waiting to hear from programs ( I guess not hearing anything is still better than rejections). I had a question for all of you: I have a friend who is also applying and she is very stressed out about her situation. She did relatively well on step1 and step2, but stumbled on step3 (failed by 2 points) but passed on the second try. She has very very good recommendation letters and extensive research with publications. Do you guys think it will hurt her chances?
Dear all,

Silence is golden
But not for this forum
Hope this ends
Sooner than later😛

Now would be a great time to read up on selection bias and its effect on clinical trials and your sanity.
My program has barely made a dent in the pile of apps we got and have offered no interviews yet.
Have you called? I was on night float last night. Just woke up and got that email, too late to call today. What are the dates for interview? Thanks.

have not heard from Baylor or any other program! Do programs send all the interviews in one day or on rolling basis ?
Yes.
Most programs will send them in batches. Some on a rolling basis. Nearly all will send more invites later in the season after the first round of offers have been accepted or not.
I have to agree w/Gutonc and some of the others that have been through this before - most programs dont get through all of the applications until after the holidays and some make it a policy not to even crack the first file until after jan 1...
Do what the program directors/fellowship committee are doing - enjoy the holiday w/whatever distractions you prefer (PS3, apple product, or drinking to excess w/friends and fam you dont get to see enough of)... I say this knowing full well I was in the same frame of mind last year!
Best of luck and happy holidays!

Just wondering if any body had any idea about the MD Anderson program in Orlando? Is it a comprehensive cancer care center? How many spots etc?
Have not applied there but thinking of applying due to geographical preference (spouse's potential job there). Thoughts appreciated.

congrats skyfire, for me its still toooo quite😕🙁
Congrats Skyfire, I am sure you have impressive stats..would you care to share ?. I am also getting nothing but dead silence! The only progress I made is getting to the Champions cup on Play station move archery game ...even playing that much video games is not making a dent in my stress levels!
Hi, if OK, please share your experience with us, thnks

Got invite from Tufts by both snail mail and email.. this was before the holidays.
Happy New Year and Good luck guys... Its after the holidays now, IV should pick up as programs start sending out invitations...
happy new year everybody, 😍
I have been scrolling through the threads from last year to gauze about the interview calls and people's credentials/application. Unfortunately I did not get a very clear idea about the trend and expectations. Therefore, lets create a thread that would include basic information about applicants and their interview calls. This might not help us this year but might be useful for applicants next year and so on.
I am beginning the thread with my credentials
1. Current Residency Program: University-based
2. Board Scores: 95/85/CS passed/Step 3 not taken yet
3. Research & Publications: extensive clinical and basic science; 5 publications (including 2 during residency)
4. Good LoRs
5. Applied to 70 programs; 1 rejection (UNC Chapel Hill)
Hope you all will contribute !!!
