At what point should I be concerned that I only have 3 interviews? (1 from my home program, 1 from an away rotation, and 1 from a neighboring institution that hasn't taken students from my school since the early 90s)

Next week?

Mid-December?

Right freakin now?

it depends on how confident you are in your home program/away program. If you are super tight with all the faculty then maybe you don't need to spend $10,000 on flights/hotels/apps like the rest of us. Maybe 3 is the key for you. :xf::luck:🙂
 
16 rejects

c'mon, who has me beat?

I'm gonna go cry while I wait for the answer
 
Ok. Freaked out too soon and found a Wake Forest massive interview packet in my mail today. Warm fuzzy feeling ensued.

I will stop complaining now. 😳
 
only 4, but i want more. i wonder if i will even hit the magic 10.

A positive way to look at things:
I only have 3 but I am happy with the ones I have in terms of quality.

I took out a huge extra loan to cover interview costs.. and am now looking forward to taking a nice big vacation (I'm thinking a 5 week trip) now! 🙂
 
still very few interviews... anyone on the same boat? 🙁

I thought freaking out wasn't allowed until next week.

We still have many many programs to hear from. 🙂

that's what i thought too until today when i got slammed with 8 rejections...all today!!!!!
 
I'm going to need a couple more invites too to feel good.

Rejection total = 39

Ouchie
 
Way to go sensitive skin! Do you live far from NY since the invites were sent by snail mail?

I've been pretty fortunate with this year's interviews:

16 interviews
10 rejections
2 waitlist

Good luck to all with the next couple weeks. :luck:
 
I've been ravaged.

4 invites (which is great considering I was stuck on 3 for a while)
41 rejections

Make the ouchie stop

Whoa. I think you are at 100% match rate at this point. Congrats!

I am not a New Yorker, but perhaps I will be one for at least three years... 🙂

any updates?

so at which point shall we start panicking?
Click to expand...

Nothing new. I've gotten a few rejections from less renowned programs which I was counting on as "backup." This really worries me because, theoretically, I may be ranked in the middle of all my programs and fail to match.

😕
 
I received 2 more over the last 2 weeks from unexpected but less renowned programs which was a pleasant surprise.

I had to turn another interview down due to scheduling conflicts.

All in all, I'm pretty happy.

5 so far
1 rejected due to scheduling
1 expected to come soon (home program)
Hoping for 4 more before Christmas but would probably be okay with 1 more. (Oh heck, it's Christmas, the season of taking. I'll take 4 more 🙂)

Closing in on 50 rejects.
