Hem/Onc fellowship application thread 2010-2011!

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Strange silence indeed, maybe the people getting interviews are not on this forum.......
Members don't see this ad.
 
But its complete silence..not even rejections.. It just seems abnormally slower compared to past few years.
 
Members don't see this ad :)
Who said you have to send out the rejections immediately :)
 
Ok some possible scenarios in descending order of likelihood

1- There is a mysterious virus that wiped out all hem/onc program coordinators or at least kept them at home

2- They are only interviewing Martians this year!

3- It is still too early

:confused::D
 
nothing today...with the silence over the past week, I applied to 9 more programs

Internal UCSF candidate?
 
Members don't see this ad :)
I have interviews from Baylor (Huston and Dallas), U Florida, Scott and White, Saint Luis MO.

Credentials: IMG, Citizen, Hospitalist, Good scores and LORS.

I have a question if some can help. Which months/time does most of the interviews occur? If I have to take two weeks vacations to schedule most of my interviews, is April first two weeks or March last two weeks, the right time?

It has been stressful to take time off while working:eek:. Any input will help me with confirming my vacation time is appreciated.
 
rejection email from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center just now :(
 
Interview Univ of MN today.
Rejections last 2 weeks- UCSD, DFCI, BIDMC, NW

Thank you so much.

Another question.

When it comes to research each program is different. For candidates like me who applied widely to increase the chances of matching, will it hurt if our interest/ research experience is not the same as the program. In other words, how:confused::confused::confused::confused: do we handle the question about research interest.
 
Hi all,
Long time lurker, rare poster with an idea (not a novel one, though).
Perhaps it would be easier to review if we summarized the interview offers in a constantly-updated list, to which we each just add our offers as they come in (with a small note about our updates).
I'll start by summarizing this page, and we can all add from there.
Hope this helps.

Only if you say something like "I'm interested in the role of miRNA expression in modulation of metastatic medullary thyroid cancer...and nothing else." There's nothing you can do about your research experience...it's past. If you can't find something interesting to work on in a particular place, you're not looking hard enough.

In other words, how do we handle the question about research interest.

Tell the truth...be a little vague. I said, "I'm interested in understanding mechanisms of development of metastatic malignancies and their treatment resistance." Which was true. And is what I'm working on. But I'm obviously much more specific in my current work than in that statement.

Great! I got the point. Thanks.
 
USC by email today.

Interviews so far:
USC, Cornell, UCSD.
 
Congrats to all getting IVs.

I have applied to 50+ programs, and heard back from one (rej from UTSW). Really starting to sweat now!! I am starting to think they are holding up all the rejections and will mail them out at once (yes, I am pessimistic). Anyone else with similar thoughts?

Just wondering, are you all getting IVs/rejections via your personal email, the eras message center or both?
 
Thanks oncoguy!
@Aspiring HemeOnc: The emails (interview and rejections alike) have been coming both to personal email as well as ERAS inbox.
 
I know.. I'm worried too. Just 1 iv and 6 rejections. My co-residents have 6-7 Ivs. It makes me think that it's my scores 88/91 n I haven't taken or mentioned step 3 in my app. :( there is nothing I can do about it now, I guess.
 
Why is it that when they send rejections it is early morning and when they send interviews it is late afternoon! Early AM rejections are depressing!. Yixa I know Uni Wa will get back to us today but I try not to think about it !!:xf:
