any easy way to figure this out without contacting the programs directly?? Freida only has number interviewed. What percent of applications are actually interviewed in general?

It differs widely by program and I doubt programs publish this information. This year, my program got over 1000 applications for 12 positions. Interviewed 150. We are in a small city/east coast. I would imagine the larger cities, bigger names, and California programs get many more. We also are known to have 1 or 2 DOs per year which increases the number of applications compared to non-DO friendly programs.
